Recruitment Tips

Tell the story about why you're a member.  Why did you join? 
Provide examples. A positive testimonial can be one of the strongest tools when recruiting new members. 

Focus on their needs. Ask questions about their career goals, and based on their answers, identify and highlight the benefits of greatest value.

This makes the conversation feel more like colleagues sharing solutions. 

Close with a plan of action. Offer to email them instructions for joining online.   Be sure they have your name so they can include it on the application! 

Follow up. Touch base in a few days to see if they joined or have any questions. If they haven't joined, this follow-up can serve as a gentle reminder. And if they have, it's a nice opportunity to welcome them to the AAA.

Rules 
All participants must be current members who have renewed for 2024.
The participant’s name must be included in the referred by field on the online membership application.
