  30. BUILD YOUR CHAPTER’S ANNUAL BUDGET • SUCCESS STORIES: IN SAN DIEGO WE FOUND THAT EMPLOYERS WILL NOT REIMBURSE A 1.5 HOUR BREAKFAST,LUNCH OR DINNER “MEETING” THAT COST $20. (BY THE WAY WE TYPICALLY LOST $2 PER PERSON) AVE ATTENDANCE = 35 NET REVENUE = -$70 SO… WE CREATED A 2 HOUR BREAKFAST “SEMINAR” AND CHARGED $40 (WHICH COST US $9.00 PER PERSON). “SEMINARS” = “TRAINING” = REIMBURSEMENT!!!! AVE ATTENDANCE = 85 NET REVENUE = $2200

  31. BUILD YOUR CHAPTER’S ANNUAL BUDGET • SUCCESS STORIES: LA SOUTH BAY CHAPTER MARKETS CORPORATIONS TO BUY A BLOCK OF TICKETS AT A DISCOUNTED PRICE (10-15%) AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR. THE COMPANY DECIDES WHICH EMPLOYEES GET THE TICKETS AND FOR WHICH EVENTS. THIS WAY YOU HAVE A LOT OF CASH IN THE BANK AT THE START OF THE YEAR

  32. CASH IS KING!!!! • IN SUMMARY: • YOU NEED MONEY TO OPERATE THE BUSINESS • IF WHAT YOU ARE DOING NOW IS NOT MAKING YOU MONEY, THEN TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT • FIND OUT WHY YOUR CUSTOMERS ARE NOT BUYING • FIND OUT IF THEY WILL PAY MORE FOR THE SAME PRODUCT • FIND OUT IF THEY WILL PAY MORE FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT • FIND OUT IF YOU CAN PROVIDE THE PRODUCT CHEAPER • DON’T THINK LIKE A “GOVIE”..THINK BUSINESS, THINK ENTREPRENUER, THINK PROFIT, TAKE OWNERSHIP OF YOUR BUSINESS AND CREATE STAKEHOLDER VALUE • REINVEST YOUR NEW FOUND PROFITS IN YOUR “STAFF”. THEY WILL WORK HARDER TO CREATE BETTER PRODUCTS, MORE PROFIT AND MORE CASH!
