I just had a conversation with a Regional from one of our clients. He was lamenting the fact that he had not had time for formal, 1-1 follow up meetings about our training with his DMs. He had remembered however that even a small, quick effort could produce results. So he took a moment to send a group email to his DMs saying that he would begin those personal meetings next week and listed 4 key areas he’d review. Within an hour he had received some very detailed feedback from DMs with their own follow up to each of his points! He was blown away how much they had used and were able to do on their own. It only takes a few key strokes to keep learning top of mind and that leads to more consistent results.
