As your guest volume grows…
We’ve had really high guest volume the last two months (Dec 22, Jan 23).
Groups often ask me for advice and tips on how to handle things as their guest volume grows. Some groups borderline freak out and don’t know how to handle a lot of guests. Don’t freak out. Your chapter meeting agenda is built to handle guests providing that you run a timer to keep things moving along.
Keep in mind that…..
Not every guest that attends will be a good fit for your group. Don’t overthink it. Guests are potential customers & connectors first….secondarily they are prospective members. As you go into a potential high visitor traffic stage I recommend 3 things:
- Focus even more on referring to each other. Continue doing face-to-face meetings & certainly log/close out all referrals in the system. Make yourself look good in front of your guests!
- Have a high attendance rate (90%)
- Run good meetings, be yourself, & have fun.
Guests= opportunity Whether in the form of a future referral source as a new member or a just a new contact.
