This was another summit in which we’re reminded just how much we knew already but didn’t have in place, and also how far we have come as an academy with the help of EFC. The venue was spectacular, with the service of the staff Disneyesque in their attention to detail, something we need to look at, at the dojo.
The lectures all had small gems of information, which we are in the process of documenting and passing on to our staff, and getting implemented. One of these small gems came from Buzz Durkin with his graduation ceremony and having a prize for the parent. We implemented this yesterday evening at our grading and had a draw in which a student won a bouquet of flowers which were presented at the end of the ceremony. This caused a great amount of excitement among the watching parents, and we are convinced we will see major benefit in our retention due to this small item.
This was the first summit that my wife has attended, and she was amazed by the welcome by the EFC UK and USA staff. We have 31 points to implement over the course of the next couple of months, and we have no doubt that we will see significant growth over the next year due to our attendance of the Summit .

In writing this article, I am assuming that you are taking your team to the Summit (very wise on your part) and that they have earned their way (again, very wise on your part). I am also assuming that you have signed up with EFC, booked your flights, and have your hotel reservations. Now, how do you insure that your money and time will pay you back ten-fold? Read more…
EFC UK Advisory Board Member, Ken Pankiewicz
UK Advisory Board Member Ken Pankiewicz and his wife Anne-Marie are currently holidaying in Brisbane, Australia, on the 11th Ken will fly to New Zealand where he will present a Y-Factor meeting at Tom and Olivia Coopa’s school before returning to Brisbane to continue his holiday.
Here’s why you need to register immediately….
You get to network with a lot of different people. Often the informal parts of the Summit , after classes are over, or during the banquet, etc., are really valuable.

You should go to the Summit so that you can grow your school and get the highest multiplied results by doing the very least. You’ll meet other likeminded people, and their success will rub off on you. If people are thinking, they cannot afford it, they can! The first time I came to the Summit , I had $200 in my pocket and I stayed in Bill Taylor’s room.

Here’s what the veterans of EFC have to say about why everyone must go…
Because in order for you to stay on top of the martial arts game, you have to go to the best conference. For instance, when we are talking about 45 minute classes, where did we get that idea from? EFC. Did it work well? Yes. When we first started our business and talked about contract amount vs. people taking money in each day, it gives us longevity, because we know that the contract amount will be there. Where did we learn this from? EFC. So if you don’t want to go to the EFC Summit, it is almost like you don’t want to be in the martial arts business for a long time.

The latest EFC Meeting of Minds seminar featuring Steve Sohn, John Lynn, Ken Pankiewicz and Ken Robson was another huge success with all attendees making copious amounts of notes and action plans.
Twenty clients attended a very successful X Factor meeting facilitated by EFC UK Board Member and top school owner Ken Pankiewicz. The meeting was held at Lee and Lisa Kent’s beautiful new school in Cheltenham and everyone was made very welcome. Many of the clients had not previously attended an EFC Meeting and most had travelled long distances to attend.
The meeting covered the Enrolment process from start to finish, organising and running a Black Belt Graduation, why you need to know your gains and losses and a lively Q&A session.
The meeting was very well received and all attendees took copious notes and were busy formulating their action plans.
Many thanks to everyone who attended, to Lee and Lisa Kent for making us so welcome and of course to Ken Pankiewicz for his valuable information and time.
The latest EFC Meeting of Minds seminar featuring Dave Kovar, John Lynn, Ken Pankiewicz and Ken Robson was a huge success.
