Benefits:

New Members

Members who have achieved success through Networking will become YOUR BIGGEST ADVOCATES: they will SPREAD THE WORD about their positive experience with your Chamber or Organization which will help bring in new members.

It’s developing your OWN sales force by teaching members how to be successful…

Member Retention

Understanding why Members Don’t Renew – “The Networking Misconception”…

Most members join to increase their business by networking but they don’t realize that Networking is a PROCESS that requires TIME.

They expect to get business at networking meetings, which rarely happens, and when they don’t, they become disenchanted and stop attending events.So they don’t renew, saying they “didn’t get anything out of their membership”

Happy members renew!
