Influence’s S.M.A.R.T. Goal As a cohesive six member team, we will prepare a do-

it-yourself kit for the Carolina Pregnancy Center that includes marketing suggestions that do not exceed a total cost of $10,000 and will provide them with greater exposure to students at ECU, Pitt, and Beaufort Community College. Each of us will actively contribute toward the completion of a package by Wednesday, December 7, 2011. This package shall be presented in a forum and format that demonstrates our suggestions in such a way that they can be successfully implemented by the Carolina Pregnancy Center and will result in high marks for our entire group.

Influence’s Action Plan Utilize all six team members resources to:

Identify marketing plans and budget for a mass email campaign, soda and koozie giveaway and marketing posters on buses.

Coordinate meeting agendas, team roles and action plans from the meeting in order to reach SMART goal.

Assign and compile a complete presentation and marketing package for Carolina Pregnancy Center including the team process and outcomes.

Identify group dynamics and work together as a team to successfully create the marketing kit and tools necessary to complete this project.

Recognize how to cohesively work as a unit given time constraints, performance measures and diversity amongst the team.
