How to pre-engage your learners.
|
|
|
Hello,
Recently, we re-read an email from a participant who'd attended one of our longer events,
a couple of years ago. She'd gone back to work fired up with lots of ideas, and immediately
influenced a colleague to make the content of an upcoming session more brain friendly.
However, for reasons of time, they decided not to try any of the pre-engagement ideas
we'd suggested, which help to improve attendance, particularly at 'mandatory' events.
Result - only 65% of the invitees showed up!

If you're an external learning facilitator, what does that do for your
reputation? And if you're an internal facilitator, what cost do
'no-shows' represent to your business? Here's 5 actions you could take - all of which work
for somebody, if not for everybody.
1. Avoid words like mandatory - or any word which suggests there's no choice, even if
there isn't! 2. Have input to the invite - don't leave it to the customer, or a
standard internal form. 3. Have further personal contact by email or by phone,
in advance. 4. Value what individuals will bring to the event - especially if
they've 'been there, done that'. 5. Send something to the invitees prior to the
event which will arouse their curiosity.
