Holidays and LGATs
Date: November 25, 2004 06:14AM
Holidays are an ideal time to amp up recruiting efforts. People may be more stressed, more vulnerable, and more likely to be seduced by glittering promises of transformation.
Along with Tony Robbins' holiday greetings discussed on the Robbins thread, thought it could be informative to keep watch on how various groups promote themselves over the holiday season, how they make use of the holidays.
Came across this sly bit today, tucked within a lead article in a local newspaper titled "Group seeks out homeless to deliver a holiday surprise, Volunteers go to camps bearing essentials for outdoors."
Midway through an otherwise innocent seeming article is "The project was started by friends who met at a Landmark Education seminar aimed at achieving personal excellence through communication and action."
No discussion of what Landmark Education really is. Contact numbers are listed, volunteers encouraged. Quite an extensive article, today's top story, includes description of local law enforcement helping the volunteer group locate homeless folks in the woods.
