Membership Growth Starts with The Ask

August is 

As a president or membership chair, if you personally ask each member to bring a new member into the club – in an eyeball-to-eyeball conversation over breakfast, lunch, coffee, adult beverage or 2-way telephone conversation – you’ll make progress. You can use this sample script in your “personal ask” to members:

  • "Is this an OK time, or are you tied up with something?
  • "We have a great Rotary club…”
  • "At its current size its long term sustainability is in jeopardy…”
  • "We could do a whole lot more for our community with 10 more members…”
  • "I need your help to get there -- I need you to bring in one -- only one -- member into our club in the next three months.”
  • "Can I count on you doing this not only for the club but also for me?”
  • "How can I help you get a list together of people you can invite to one of our meetings?"

The intentional part is the personal part. It's not an "anonymous" request like a podium announcement or an email broadcast. In those cases, members many times think, "Someone else will do that -- I don't really need to." Take the opportunity to really get everyone involved.

Welcome New Members!
