Powerful Openers
(Ways to Welcome and Begin Your TeleClass)
- 1. Welcome each person warmly, as if you know him or her.
- 'Glad you could make it'.
'Where are you calling from?'

joined the call. (Only if you have a small class)

come this evening?' 'How will this class improve your work/life?'
- 3. Start out with a strong, engaging question.

- 5. Ask participants what the biggest problem they are
having in the area of concern?

today?' 'What's the biggest fear you have about teaching
TeleClasses today?' 'What are you tolerating the most about
your life today?'

years, 90 % of Americans will be on the Internet.' "In a
recent study, 80% of Americans said they have or planned
to have their own business in the next 5 years." " Stress
is the number one problem that people say they are experiencing."
- 7. Turn the first part of the Call into a Q&A Format.

about this subject for the first 15 minutes of our class
today. Who has a question about. . .'
