Subject: SAMPLE Foundation training invitation (non-transferable)
Dear grantee,
We are pleased to offer you a training opportunity, Elevator Speech Training by Video call, to help you optimize your communication about the importance and urgency of your work.
Many staff and grantees of SAMPLE Foundation have already experienced the training and found it extremely useful (see www.est.io/testimonials).
Your coach will be Marc Fest, founder of Elevator Speech Training and a former vp/communications for the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
The entire training is done by video call and takes up no more than one hour of your time. The training is one-on-one and confidential. It will be tailored to your organization and mission.
Contingent on availability, your organization may use up to four slots for individual one-on-one training sessions (please note these are not group training sessions). You may choose to have two people use two sessions each, or four people use one session each, etc. We recommend two training sessions per person to maximize the learning impact.
Due to high demand, there currently is an appointment wait time of X weeks / months. If you have an urgent situation, Elevator Speech Training will try to accommodate you sooner. Given the demand and the fact that we are offering the training on a first-come, first-served basis, we recommend you lock in your sessions as soon as you can.
