Question: I would like to run this opportunity by you for your suggestions and/or thoughts. I have the opportunity to speak with some tenants of an office park about organizing their work space for the new year. I have about 50 minutes total to teach them something! I was planning on providing some take-aways, besides my business card! Any thoughts?
Answer: You could talk about just paper management or time management or a combination of both.
Talk about what a lack of organizational skills causes; loss of time, money, space, energy, relationships and then talk about the value your services can provide; regaining time, money, space, energy and relationships. Sell your VALUE!
You could give them a little questionnaire to find out if their preference is for paper or electronic time management tools. Gives them an activity and you a break.
Or, you could have them fill out the Your Relationship With Clutter exercise from Unit II.
If you are feeling really brave, do a demonstration. Organize someone's desk area to show how much can be accomplished in 50 minutes! This is a very interactive approach and participants love an engaging presentation.
Have a drawing for a take-away gift or for your services to get their contact information for newsletters and/or to contact them for organizing help.
Good luck and let me know how it turns out!
