Hi folks!
I'm new here...just joined today. I bought and read Shannon's great book, and I feel energized to replicate her success.
I posted an announcement (on Facebook and to my email list) that was worded pretty much exactly the way Shannon wrote about in the introduction of her book (plagiarism, anyone?), and I got a tepid response.
I was a little nervous to put it out there, but I did it anyway (yesterday), and now I'm waiting to hear back. I got three invitations: one in Nashville, one in Asheville (isn't that funny?) and one in Naples, Florida. The North Carolina date would be in 2020, so I won't be able to tie that in this year.
I guess what I'm asking is this:
I'd love to hear others' experiences with recruiting hosts.
Did it seem like a rush or a trickle?
Did the trickle turn into a rush, or did it peter out?
And, if the reception wasn't exactly enthusiastic, what did you do to not be intrusive but still keep the offer out there?
Any stories you have to tell, like things you wish you knew when you were first getting started?
Thank you, everyone! I see this forum is a little quiet, so I hope that's indicative of people SO busy with this that they haven't the time nor the need to post! :-)
Gratefully,
