Paragon Partners is a growing team of &lt;span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;entrepreneurs&lt;/span&gt; who value greatly their independence and at the same time seek the &lt;span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;camaraderie&lt;/span&gt; of those who share their passion for success and excellence. We have set up a number of calls to support those who have made the commitment to&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://5stepsworkbook.eventbrite.com/"&gt;the 5 Steps for Strategic Business Planning model&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://personalcoaching.eventbrite.com/"&gt;Personal Coaching&lt;/a&gt;, and the vision beyond the limitations of working alone without a plan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are just a few of the calls we have on tap:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Leader’s Calls &lt;/b&gt;~ Monday Morning 11:30 am ET.&lt;br /&gt;Team coaching for Active Coaching clients &amp; Paragon Partners leaders.

She is articulate, creative and respectful of her client's needs and resources. The &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Communicating and Selling Effectively&lt;/span&gt; course is just one sample of her talents and what she has to offer. I personally had hesitated before taking the course. What a loss it would have been if I hadn't. I personally believe it would be a major missing link not to take this truly excellent course for anyone comtemplating, planning, starting or running a network marketing or any other business for that matter. It is in my opinion a major piece of the puzzle in the plan for success. This is one of Paula's masterpieces."

Cross line, cross country, cross company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The calls will include cold calls, interviews with prospective partners, training new partners and developing customer relationships. Group coaching and team support are a part of the package.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leaders will include Active coaching clients, graduates of the 5 Steps training series and new business partners who are working directly with Active Coaching clients.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is also a place for Listeners; people who are not quite ready to go LIVE and want the opportunity to hear the other Leaders in action. This is a great option for people who are not Active Coaching clients, have not yet completed their 5 Steps training and are working alone in the field. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a monthly program and will run each month in 30 day cycles. On the 15 th of each month participants will have opportunity to sign up for the spot that best suits them for that month.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sign up NOW to be included in this dynamic team!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://paragonpartners2007.eventbrite.com"&gt; Paragon Partners in Action&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be sure you are on the email list to get updates and info: paula@paulaenglish.com&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35757827-116041963476826305?l=paragonpartners.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paragonpartners.blogspot.com/feeds/116041963476826305/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=35757827&amp;postID=116041963476826305&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35757827/posts/default/116041963476826305'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35757827/posts/default/116041963476826305'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paragonpartners.blogspot.com/2006/10/introducing-new-paragon-partners.html' title='Introducing the new Paragon Partners'/><author><name>Marketing Strategist &amp;amp; Personal Coach</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06210276915494291316</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://static.flickr.com/67/225516387_a354835072.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
