Meeting Don Faunt: An Exciting Opportunity on September 8th!

In summary, my director has invited me to a meeting with Don Funt on September 8th. I am excited because I have heard a lot about him and was not expecting it. I am also kind of giddy that she picked me because I am not as experienced as some of the other people she invited. I attended his "How to be a Master Seller" workshop at conference and was in awe of him. He is a wise-cracking smart aleck-y kind of guy who is a real hoot to listen to. If I were at a show he was conducting, I'd probably be convinced to buy everything in the book! I will learn a lot from him and I am excited to see what he has to say

I'm so excited! My director just called and invited me to a meeting with Don Funt on September 8th! She was allowed to invite two people and she picked me and my recruiter! I am also kind of giddy that she picked me, I guess it's because I wasn't expecting it!
For those of you who know more about him, what amazing things have you learned from him? I've heard so much about Don since conference. I was unable to so this was a nice surprise!

I have never met or heard him speak...would be an honor to get to go! Congrats!

There are a few of us going as well! I am excited, especially after hearing Don Funt at conference! :)

Actually I am trying to find out if I can surprise my Director with an invitation to the training. She just moved to the Canton, Ohio area (closes on home tomorrow). Moving a business can be tricky and I would love for her to have a nice PC surprise.

Make sure she emails me! I haven't "spoken" with her since I first got her email. Although, I am sure she is super busy with packing and whatnot. Did her house in GA sell?

BTW, Akron is only about 30 minutes away from Canton, so that should work for her if you can get her an invite!

Thanks Kelly! I will remind her about contacting you again. You are right, life has been crazy for them. The house here sold and was closed by the time they left in early August. They are homeless (living in a hotel) until they close on their new home tomorrow.

I went to Don's website and got his email. I emailed him and hope to hear back soon!

I just love her so much! She became such a close friend and I periodically cry because I can't believe she had to move. I really want the best for her. Of course we still talk every day, but I hate that I will not see her very much. How many days until Leadership?:)

I'm in Pat Poldrui's cluster. It will be me, Pat, and my recruiter Jay. The meeting is actually in Copley. If you live in Ohio you know that is a little outside of Akron. I don't know if thats closer to Canton or not. I'm pretty excited. I'm also honored because Pat chose Jay and I out of everyone on our team. It's just a nice way to be recognized.


Sorry I haven't been on this thread much we all came down with the stomach flu!:yuck:
 
  • #23
That's great! I met Pat at conference. I'm in Marla Holmes cluster ... and my director, recruiter and another girl and I will be going! :)
I look forward to meeting you on the 8th! :)
 
  • #24
and, Copley is on the West side of Akron...
 
  • #25
If I can get my Director invited, Copley is only about 30 minutes from where she is moving. Fingers crossed!
