SL Mentor Greeter Best Practices

Greeters Best Practices

Visit all of the Infohubs and Welcome Areas.

Invite other Mentors to go with you for a fun field trip!

• WALK each area and become familiar with the layout.
• NOTE the kiosks that are there and what information they offer to our residents. See something old that needs removing, think of something more that should be there? Let VTeam know!
• GREET those residents that you meet and ask if you can help them.
• WEAR your SL Mentors OR Greeter tag.

BE AWARE:

You will find that Infohubs and Welcome Areas hold a mixture of experienced residents and inexperienced residents all in one place, which differs from the Orientation Islands which allow only Mentors and new residents onto them. Often the new residents are still wearing their new resident avatars and are easy to pick out in a crowd; however, it’s always good to check out the resident’s rez day on their profile. This will give you a better idea of the level of their Second Life knowledge. Lots of new arrivals come into the welcome areas and infohubs and it often seems to them everyone is busy with each other, so it is important for someone to show interest.

Find your favorite Infohub

Find your favorite Infohub or WA and make it “yours”. Visit it often; get to know the regulars there and where things are located around the hub. Note the kiosks there and the information provided for our residents.
