Do You Know Where Your Guests Are Coming From?
|
Ask every guest that visits your club – “Where did you hear about Toastmasters?”
WHY ask the question:
1. Conversation starter
2. Find out where to look for new members when you’re promoting an Open House
3. Learn where to focus your club communication
a. Outbound: Email, club or personal social media, free neighborhood paper, tell a friend, Word-of-Mouth
b. Inbound: Club website home page, club Facebook page, Find A Club referrals
The next time you respond to an inquiry forwarded from [email protected] or FIND A CLUB, remember to BCC: [email protected] (NOT CC) on your timely email response to your guest.
The first 35 clubs will receive $30 in Toastmasters International gift certificates!
Questions, please email: [email protected]
