Sitting on the bus!

18/10/12
I was talking to Lisa Ruff (Balanced Rewards), Membership Co-ordinator of Tudor, this week about visitors. More specifically, about members who don’t bring visitors. Please don’t get me started on the subject as the blog would run to many pages. Let’s just leave it at I really can’t understand why any member wouldn’t want to grow their business.


Anyway, Lisa agreed with this, and we were discussing what could be done to help these members and then, if all else failed, what should be done about it.

The thing that really gets me is that inviting is so simple and Lisa had a great example of this. What’s more, the thing that Lisa was talking about is covered in the Chapter Development workshop. It’s so easy!

So, what is it? What’s so simple? Answer: inviting by text. It’s so simple that people without any contacts can do it! Members that really don’t like talking to people can do it! And, it takes just seconds, not even minutes.

The best part? You can do it sitting on the bus.

What did Lisa do? She was on a bus travelling to Richmond. She could have gazed out of the window, deep in her own thoughts. Maybe have read a book. Or even just have watched people getting on and off the bus.

But instead, as she went past businesses with mobile numbers displayed, or stopped near a sign-written van, she tapped the number into her mobile and sent them a text. She sent five texts on her trip and received three replies from people interested in visiting her chapter.

How great is that!

So please, never make an excuse for not inviting; just grow your business instead.
