First GB Webinar: Getting Started Properly with Foundation One

Tentatively scheduled for Sunday, June 15th 10:30am AZ time. Once the date/time is finalized we can start hyping it up.

Very nice!

May 19th is a Monday ... 

Shhhh! I still need a yay/nay to the date and time. 

We are set for June 15th 10:30am AZ time. 

Foundation One Question and Answer with Coach Sommer

June 15th 10:30am-11:15am PDT (-7GMT)

Open to all Foundation One students

Two ways we can handle the Q&A:

1) Have all questions submitted prior and then pick which ones to answer during the webinar. 

Pros: Doesn't require specialized webinar software, better control of the conversation

Con: Little or no time for questions that come up during the webinar

2) Live fielding of questions

Pros: More of a conversational feel with give-take between Coach and students

Cons: Requires dedicated software, more of a limit on audience size

What's the cost monetarily and in labor for the software Cory?

We should consider changing the topic to GST integration into crossfit.

Thoughts?

I think it's a good topic, and understand that you might want to strike while the iron is hot after the podcast.

However I think being the first podcast, our previous customers might wonder what's going on, it we address CrossFit before our bread and butter Foundation courses.

Unless the need to address crossfit now is essential, might consider putting the cross fit integration podcast on after the getting started right one.

edit: and the first forum post I see is Integrating Foundation with Ju Jutisu.

What if the scope were just expanded to integrating Foundation with CrossFit, Martial Arts and other actives? So as to be more all inclusive?

Is the intent to cater the CrossFit topic to existing customers or to bring in new ones?

Based on the limited number of customers with either a crossfit email or a facility, we'd have a significantly smaller audience than a more broad F1 topic.

If the intent is to instead do a marketing webinar to bring in new CrossFit customers, we're looking at an entirely different scenario here. Of the two scenarios, I see this one being far more beneficial for a CrossFit theme.

And there's certainly no reason we can't alternate between webinars for existing students and marketing ones for new customers.

Agree, and think the alternating approach is the best possible scenario. Bring them in and keep them hooked.

If we go CrossFit first, what if we schedule the second webinar which will be oriented towards our current customers and announce it simultaneously. 

This will give them something to be excited about, and prevent the alarms bells from sounding, that we are truing into CrossFit.

Good point.  

Let's keep it an F1 Q&A.  And if some of those questions pertain to crossfit we will address them there.

Final detail before we can start advertising: do we collect questions beforehand, take them on live during the webinar, or dedicate time for a little of both?

Let's do it live.

Coach Sommer will be hosting a free webinar for all Foundation One students. This will be a question and answer style format where you can ask anything about Foundation One material. We do anticipate a large number of questions, so Coach will do his best to address as many as possible within the allotted time.

A couple of forum members will receive special VIP priority on the first questions as a thank you for their continued contributions to the community. After those initial questions, we will open the floor for live questions via chat. You may also submit up to two questions at registration, though we will highly prioritize live questions.

Registration will open on Sunday May 24th, 2014. Space is limited!

Webinar #1: Q&A with Coach Sommer

"... We do anticipate a large number of questions, so Coach will do his best to address as many as possible within the allotted time ..."

- Please remove this sentence in its entirety. I prefer not to rush or try to answer as many questions as possible; but would rather deal with a question or subject until it is thoroughly examined.

- GB Webinar #1 - F1 Q&A w/ Coach Sommer

- All submitted questions should be restricted to F1 materials only. Questions on other topics will be disregarded.

A few days before opening the registration may be insufficient lead time for the advertising. There needs to be at least one fb post, a forum post and an email blast prior.

please post the announcement in the community section as well.
