A great example of what not to do to get MEMBERSHIP, please pass this around to the membership .. it may help.
I’m the guy who…
…was asked to join your organization
…paid his dues to you
…came to your meetings and no one paid any attention to
…tried several times to be a friend, but they all had their own buddies to talk and sit next to
…came several times, but no one paid any attention to me
…was left out when I volunteered to help with fund raising projects and membership recruitment
…missed a few meetings because I was sick, but at the next meeting no one asked where I’d been
…felt that it didn’t matter very much to others whether I was there or not
…decided to stay home and watch TV one meeting night
You might say I’m…
…a Good Guy
…a Good family man
…a Responsible man who works diligently
…a Caring man who gives back to his community
…a Loyal man who loves his country
You know who else I am?
THE GUY THAT NEVER CAME BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s amusing to think that so much time is spent looking for NEW members, but not enough time is being spent
to keep the ones we had sitting among us the whole time. All those members needed, was to feel their presence
wanted and their absence missed.
