A Message from David Brault |
Dear Members,
We will be holding a membership drive over the summer from June 21 to September 20. The component of the drive that I would like to talk about today is peer to peer and personal recruiting. I am asking you to help recruit new members. As a member of the Chamber your recommendation to a fellow business person to join the Chamber will be very convincing. The person you approach may be a person you buy or sell products or services from or to, a person who has a business next door to yours, or a business person who belongs to the same group as you. The goal for this component of this drive is that each existing member successfully recruits one new member.
There are five simple steps to your participation:
- Consider who you could approach: who in someway would benefit from being a Chamber member.
- Download a copy of the membership application form or ask me for copies.
- Approach the prospective member; let them know why you are a member of the Chamber and find out what member benefit(s) might motivate them to join. Those benefits include having access the Chamber of Commerce Group Insurance Plan, access to the First Data / TD Merchant Services preferred rates on accepting Visa, MasterCard and Interact, Grand & Toy discounts, our breakfast, luncheon and after hours activities, being a good corporate citizen, member- to-member benefits, and receiving our newsletter - to name a few.
- Give them the membership form and follow up your discussion in a week or two.
- Give them my number (613-745-3578) or my email address (dbrault@gloucesterchamber.com) so I can answer other questions that they might have.
You will know the person you approach best, so do feel free to modify the approach to what you think would work to convince the person to join. I would be happy to support your efforts in recruiting a new member so let me know what I can do to assist.
The Eastern Ottawa Chamber of Commerce is a member driven organization and in many ways dependent on its members for its strength and growth. Help us bring new members to your Chamber.
Please call me at 613-745-3578 or via email at dbrault@gloucesterchamber.com if you have any questions or would like to meet me in the near future.
Sincerely,
David Brault President,
Eastern Ottawa Chamber of Commerce. |
