#1 HAVE GREAT SPEAKERS! • Most people decide whether to go to an event based on the quality of the speaker. • The more exciting the speaker the more likely a person is to come. • One good speaker after another creates a “buzz” • Eventually it becomes a “can’t miss it” organization
WHY I HAVE BEEN A MEMBER FOR ALMOST 25 YEARS • I have friends in the organization • I owe the organization a lot • I like the speakers • I find clients • I love the vision
What’s Next? • Catch the vision! • Be a cheerleader • Lead by example • “A man filled with the love of God is not content blessing his family alone, but ranges through the whole world, anxious to bless the whole human race.” -- Joseph Smith, 1840
