General Consultant Discussion

We are in the final stages of determining whether we will be offering training sessions prior to the 2015 Meeting of the Minds conference in February. Below are the sessions that had the most interest based on an earlier survey. If any of these are of interest - and you PLAN on attending - please vote for ONE! Our expectation is that if you do vote, you WILL attend!! Classes will be held Thursday (February 18th) for the one day classes, or Wednesday & Thursday (February 18th & 19th) for the two day Basic Scripting class, prior to the conference. Fifteen attendees are required for the class to be held. Enrollment is open to all Socialcast members and employees of their company. If you plan on sending multiple people, please indicate the number and the sessions in the comments below. Please consider your vote carefully as this survey IS the determining factor as to whether and which sessions will be offered. @Sage100Routine

Hard to vote for just one, I'd attend either the Intermediate Scripting or SI class - both if I could clone myself :)

Did you at least pick one @MoiraGoggin ??

Yes.

If the one I voted for doesn't make the cut, I will attend the one that does.

I voted for the Advanced Crystal class; my 2nd choice would be SI

This is good stuff, we have some interest as well. I will vote accordingly to the interest.

I believe you can only vote once but if you have other employees who are not members on Socialcast, please enter a comment with the class(es) and how many would like to attend (names aren't necessary at this point).

It will only let me vote once. I have 3 people interested. One Advanced Crystal, one Basic Scripting and one Sage INtelligence

I would attend Intermediate Scripting!

Kate, did you vote above?

I did! Thank you @JeffSchwenk !

Is there a table of contents to these classes of what is expected to be covered? Especially on something like CRM - this can be so broad.

Yes, there is a lot that could be covered in CRM and that curriculum does need to be fleshed out. Several of the classes may be brought back by popular demand but we wanted to explore what the interest level is for other topics. Rest assured, that if this class has enough participants and makes the cut, it will be well worth the one day fee.

MOTM 2015 is just around the corner (OK, a little over three months) and we STILL need your input. We need a minimum of 15 attendees enrolled before we can commit to holding the training class. All classes will be held on Thursday (2/19) with the exception of the two day scripting class which will start on 2/18. At this moment, we are planning on ONLY a single scripting class, either the one or two day, NOT both. If your class does not make the final cut, please let us know in the comments if there is a second class you would attend. Enrollment is open to ANY employee of your company. The cost to attend is $400 each ($800 for the two day class). Refreshments and lunch will be included. Attendance to the two day MOTM meeting is NOT required! One of the organization's goals is to provide high quality educational sessions to the membership. We believe these classes fulfill that mission! Your response is critical as the go/no go decision needs to be made quickly. Please look at your calendar and vote as soon as possible. However, if you do vote yes, we have high expectations that you will attend!!!!!!! Bringing this back to the top....

I voted for SI as I would like to re-visit the tool. I would choose CRM as a second choice.

I would love to attend them all! Unfortunately I will be undergoing the knife and won't be able to attend.

Sorry to hear that @KathyPurkiss - hope all goes well!

Thank you!

@KathyPurkiss - Ditto @ThereseLogeais thoughts. Mark my words, one day, you WILL attend an event!!!!

I really hope so! I've been taking care of my mother so long and now that she has passed, I have been getting back to what I neglected to do three years ago for myself. I do look forward to meeting all of you in person some day!

I voted for CRM, but count me in for which ever class is offered. One day or two.

I voted for Intermediate Scripting, but would attend the 2 day scripting class if that was the option

I agree with many of the prior posts. I would consider multiple of these options. I would have likely attended any and ranked them in order of preference. Good Stuff!!!

Are you attending MotM @LarryBradford ? If so, did you vote for one? If not, why not???

Yes Ma'am. Already voted. Have a great week!

ATTENTION EVERYONE!!!!!!!. The poll for sessions is closing tomorrow at the close of business. If you really want a preconference session, YOU need to vote ASAP!!!!!!! Time is of the essence. As of now, NONE of the classes meet the minimum 15 attendee threshold. If you are wanting to send NON SC members to the class, express that desire as a comment. YOUR vote is important........
