New Jersey

Hey all you Tri-Staters….Look at these numbers!  I know you’ve got another event or two still up your sleeve, or under your cap already, so- SHARE THEM

We need your help to regain our #1 ranking!

What can you do to help?

1. Report your events (click here to be reminded of what is considered an event)
2. Help grow our network by recruiting your colleagues to join the DEN and become a STAR

If you have any questions, contact Matt Monjan, the Mid-Atlantic account manager.

The following post is from our Oh-so-brilliant-and-talented Regional Team Leader, Matt Monjan

Did you know that we launched our Spring DEN Promotion? Since it is spring time and the Mets and Yankees, have already started to crack their bats we thought we’d do the same with our DEN Stars!

You guys are part of the Mid-Atlantic Region team - the very best team in all the land. Right now we are in a tight pennant race with the other regions from around the country - and guess what we’re winning! Check out our progress by going here. You can read more about our team by reading about us on the DEN Spring Training 2008 blog. And, even better, leave a comment to root the team on!

To help us continue our winning streak I need your help. Please make sure that you log into www.discoveryeducation.com and visit the Discovery Educator website. Then, if you haven’t had a chance to record your event make sure you do so.

But, even better, make sure that you help sign up three or more of your colleagues to become DEN Stars. We blew everyone out of the water last week but this week my colleagues have been talking lots of trash - I want to leave them no opportunity to do that next week - that’s right - No more Mr. Nice guy - other regions

DEN Spring Training is back! This year the DEN coaches are scouting talent for the All-STAR team as well as looking for some new prospects to join the DEN squad. You have a couple ways to impress the coaches during DEN Spring Training and earn some DEN gear.

Renegotiate Your Contract
Every year STAR Discovery Educators are asked to report at least two events they have conducted in the past school year in order to have their contracts renewed for the following season (i.e., maintain STAR status for next school year). Give your agent some additional leverage to land you a big contract by reporting more than two events.

Any STAR DE who reports at least three events for the time period of September 1, 2007 through June 6, 2008 will receive a DEN Water Bottle as a signing bonus.

Recruit a Rookie
We’re always looking for new prospects who can throw a 90 mph fastball or embed a DE streaming video into PowerPoint. If you help us find a rookie sensation, we’ll hook you up with some new DEN gear.

Any STAR DE who recruits a new STAR Discovery Educator before June 6, 2008 will receive a DEN baseball jersey. Note: The STAR DE you recruit must have his/her contract officially signed by June 6, 2008 (i.e., he/she must complete all parts of the application process by June 6).

Help Your Region Win the Pennant
Your DEN Account Managers are looking to you to help them bring home the pennant for your region. The DEN Manager whose region has the most new STAR recruits during DEN Spring Training will win the coveted Discovery Educator Network Louisville Slugger straight from the factory in Kentucky.

• Help your DEN Manager win the pennant by recruiting new STARs
• Get Hall and the DEN team to host a Day of Discovery in your state by recruiting the most new STARs

Good luck! If you have any questions, please feel to have your agent contact us.

Let’s help the DEN become the next member of the 3000 club!  We are so close guys, just a few more reported events from each of us & we will pass 3000 in no time!  The process is so simple, even Pete Rose wouldn’t bet against you getting at least one more event posted!!

P.S. For all you Pete Rose fans- I didn’t just use his picture to make a joke about him, it’s also to pay homage to his position as the leader of the 3000 club (his stats are pretty amazing!)
