Presenter—Michelle Before you start this stress that the key to this was having regular communications, using multiple media because people respond to different things, getting different people involved so burden was spread and people talked with people that they had relationships with if possible. Discuss how you have a 365 day communication cycle including regular communications as well as “renewal” communications.
Presenter—Scott Point out targeting—personalization in name field, personalized benefits based on division membership Point out that it is signed by the chairman who is a colleague.
Presenter—Scott Point out who this comes from and why it comes from him. Point out that this is a guide. People making calls are comfortable with talking about org so they don’t have to follow it word for word. You don’t want people reading from script. Too impersonal.
Presenter—Scott Note timing of this so they know when it goes out.
Presenter—Michelle Discuss how you use this and when they receive it. If you want you can go into Tech Bucks program. Don’t have to. Up to you.
Presenter—Michelle Note that this is sent to all lapsed members. Note that it is an email. Note that they go right to website to renew which is customer friendly. Note no discounts to get them to renew.
Presenter—Scott This is where you will start talking about regular comms. Key things to cover: Targeting of audience Calls are made by division prez or someone from their division. No selling going on just relationship building.
Presenter—Michelle Another piece of regular comms. Keys: Hand written Targeted Focused
