Phone Calling EN Fanatics Needed...

Coach Patrick · September 20, 2010 6:03AM

Folks -

Unprecedented times call for unprecedented measures. I like to reach out to call new folks to say HI and welcome to EN. But we just had 405 folks sign up in 4 days...ain't gonna happen. Our amassadors have stepped up big time and offered to call, but I am putting out a request to the rest of you. Are you willing to call a few folks and welcome them to the Team? If you love EN and love this kind of really-cool-good-vibe stuff, please reply below or better yet, PM me and I will get you the info. This is a limited time task (this week) and we'll take only the time you can offer. Thanks so much!!!!!

You know me, I love to talk. Put me down. As a matter of fact, keep me down as a mentor/phone caller for the rest of the year.

Nemo Brauch · September 20, 2010 8:41AM

Crazy busy time of year here for me at work, but I can probably squeeze in a handful of calls. Just keep the list small :-)

Linda Patch · September 20, 2010 8:43AM

What Nemo said. I already promised my tri buddy Jane Saunders, who just signed up, to mentor her. So put her on my list.

Matt Samojeden · September 20, 2010 10:13AM

IM in - I will make some calls

Beth_S · September 20, 2010 11:06AM

Sign me up, P.

Swoodowrth · September 20, 2010 3:05PM

I can certainly sing your praises! I can do that!

Coach Patrick · September 21, 2010 2:18PM

You guys are awesome...thank you so much. I will email you instructions shortly!

Dave Tallo · September 21, 2010 3:33PM

Count me in!

Steven Ford · September 21, 2010 5:08PM

Send me some info

Kevin Walter · September 21, 2010 8:23PM

I can call some folks, especially in western New York.

Bill McKinney · September 21, 2010 9:53PM

I can do it too...e-mail me at work, though. I don't check webmail very often. Local would be great, but happy to do whatever.

Coach Patrick · September 22, 2010 8:00AM

Thanks. We have 160 folks left to call after giving some out...anyone else??

Barbara Spitler · September 22, 2010 8:09AM

P, count me in. I'm extremely busy right now with school, and the Chicago Marathon. However, I can call a few peeps. Like Nemo said, keep the list small.

John Stark · September 22, 2010 11:36AM

Me, me, me . . . .. .

phaedrus · September 22, 2010 12:22PM

happy to help

Cary Blanco · September 22, 2010 11:31PM

P,

Send me 10 names and numbers - I'd be happy to spread the word.

jburbatt · September 23, 2010 7:33AM

I've got some time to call too, happy to help

Michele Cellai · September 23, 2010 11:27AM

I'm sure I could get some time to do this now that I am being lazy after IMWI. Send some my way.

Coach Rich · September 23, 2010 11:42AM

All,

Thanks so much for stepping up! While I think it's valuable for a trial member to speak to PnI about their trial, it's probably more impressive to have a paying member volunteer their time to chat with new folks. I think it speaks volumes for what we have here and I'm sure our trial members will feel the same.

Thanks again!

Swoodowrth · September 23, 2010 12:35PM

Rich, along that note, I would love to do this and still want to, but if you feel it is better to have success stories talk to potential new members I would totally understand. I can certainly sing the praises of what all I've learned and how Im staying with EN because it's probably the only hope I have of finishing an IM.

R&P, I had some great discussions with peps about a lot of different subjects. I think that this is invaluable to new members to talk with a member of the team but also should chat with either of you. I would love to continue to support EN by placing these calls. I was able to contact over 20 people in just under an hour while driving in rush hour traffic.

Agree Rich. One guy I called was, one shocked that someone called and two asked me if I was a paid staff member...seemed suprised that I was only a plebe member taking the time to chat

carlymarie · September 23, 2010 2:47PM

Coach P - I can help call if you still need people!!

Linda Patch · September 23, 2010 3:09PM

It was fun talking to the few peeps. Unmasked one coach who must be checking the site out to pilfer stuff. All impressed we called. One guy just wanted to be told he can finish an IM on very few hours training, b/c of his oh-so-important job--kind of an ass. Spent 20' with him, then sent him to P.

Nemo Brauch · September 23, 2010 3:31PM

Sheryl, I think you'd be just fine making these calls. Most of the folks I spoke with simply appreciated the call and wanted to talk about themselves a little to see if their personal situation seemed like a fit. Some folks were obviously just kicking the tires and didn't really want to engage in any conversation- which is totally OK too.- I don't think one person asked about my personal background or history.

Carrie Chavez · September 23, 2010 3:44PM

I'll call a bunch. Just send them to me.

Coach Patrick · September 26, 2010 2:15PM

Folks, you guys are awesome! We have closed out the sheet and have another 100 to go...so close. If you want to help, let me know thanks!

P

Swoodowrth · September 26, 2010 4:59PM

I can still make some calls if you need someone. Let me know.

phaedrus · September 26, 2010 6:13PM

P I rec'd an email from you this afternoon while out running some errands with numbers to call. Opened my email tonight to get goin and poof it's not there. If you recalled it cool. If you still need help please resend.
Thx mark
