I recently asked a current President whose Club has shown extremely good growth as to why he'd been successful. His reply is below:
 |
| These are the letters I sent out to new members in our District over the last two months! |
Regards new members, you answered the question yourself in an email earlier in the year when you said “I bet it has something to do with just asking”
A high profile in the Community helps. Our Trailer Raffle captured two new members and the people that were selling tickets were friendly and out there.
I worked hard on the Club at the beginning to be attentive to prospective members as they came in the door and introduced a rostered “Hospitality Host” that made sure that strangers were not left standing alone. Took a while to catch on but now works very well.
New Members bring a real buzz to the Club and each week it is hard to stop them talking so I can get on with business.
I am afraid there is no secret formula, just luck & perseverance.
And I would add - an invitation!
