Training Games To Play At Your Next Meeting
Make your next meeting productive, memorable and FUN!
Have A NO Session
Help team members handle rejection. Face pairs together. One person asks
questions, the other answers no over and over. Then switch roles. Give each
person five minutes.
This will show them that not everyone says yes. And it will help them deal
with the rejection each time. The more rejection, the easier and less
personal it gets.
Four Ways To Use Our 2,340 Book In Your Next Meeting
Pardon the blatant sales pitch here, but many marketing/training directors
are using 2,340 as a training manual for their monthly meetings. Suggestions
include:
- Give it to three people to pick out his/her favorite ideas
- Ask a team member to pick a random page number, flip to that page and
implement an idea from it
- Give to team members as gifts for reaching sales/productivity goals
- Take a chapter a week and focus on:
*leasing
*marketing
*resident retention
*staff retention
*self improvement.
Put Some Pizazz Into Your Adz
Creating slogans help jump start meetings, plus you have new tag lines for
ads. Here are some examples from a meeting in Atlanta (AMENITY/TAG LINES).
It's also fun to think of marketing promotions paired with candy bars.
-You're Worth 100 Grand
-M&M's From Your Management & Maintenance Teams
-Bit O' Honey - Bee Right Back
-Score! You Hit A Home Run! (get it HOME run?!).
AMENITY/TAG LINES
Make a list of your amenities and create tag lines for them. The more
creative the better!

Get 'Em Geared Up
Bring in some toys from home and ask groups to make up stories with the
items. Bring in anything unrelated - but make sure the objects are large
enough for the whole room to see them. Give each team 8 minutes to develop
the story, 3 minutes to tell it.
Another variation: Ask each participant to bring one object to the meeting.
Starting with one person, ask them to begin a story with the object in it
(Once upon a time there was a blue pen.). The next person has to add to the
story incorporating his/her object.
