I think the converters and the suppliers should chime in on what works for them.
As a group however, I do not think we should build or plan rallies based on how many converters we can get to show up. I think the converters and suppliers should always be welcome, and I think they should be encouraged to participate in our seminars. I like seeing the coaches so I see no down side to their participation. But to limit the number of rallies or locate rallies just to get them to show up I think is wrong.
Right now it appears that as a group we can expect to see at least as many attendees in Branson as we had in Kerrville.
As the group grows I would be willing to predict the left side of the country could support two rallies six months apart with similar numbers and the right side could do the same. I would imagine if all the rallies were the size we just had there would be support from converters and suppliers. I questioned one of the converters at Kerrville about the size of the rally and if it was advantageous to his company, and the response was positive. He indicated it was a good size and it allowed him to talk to almost every attendee.
Rather than speculate I think Branson will be the test of where POG is headed. Going from 10 to 25 to over 60 coaches it appears clear there has been growth. If Branson pulls in the same number of coaches and a similar number are turned away, we will know what our rally plans for the future will be.
