Discussion Leader Engagement Strategies
(CCC) Virtual Webinar
Wednesday, August 23, 2023
10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. (CT)
Workshop Leaders: Ellen Pfiffner of EBP Business Consulting and Pam Evans of GoProBriefings.com
Course Description
Too often, briefing professionals are put in the position to “beg and borrow” Company experts to participate in briefings. This “cajoling” offers little assurance that the most appropriate resource is available and ready to adjust their calendar to be included on the agenda. World class briefing programs have a pool of discussion leaders that are willing and able to lead impactful customer discussions. These programs have deployed a broad discussion leader engagement strategy to ensure that discussion leaders feel valued and effective in their support of the Briefing Program.
This workshop explores best practices, processes, and tools for identifying and developing your discussion leaders and giving them a reason to want to develop their skills. We’ll discuss actionable ideas for discussion leaders recruitment, retention, recognition, and reward.
Who should attend?
Managers or briefing staff responsible for presenter acquisition, development, and retention.
