The Be My Guest program is a 5-step program to increase the number of guests, which will increase the number of members. A brief summary of the program’s 5 steps is below:
- Create. Create value and add appeal to meetings by planning them to showcase interesting themes, topics, and speeches. Add an educational presentation to each meeting.
- Collect. Find others to personally invite to your club’s next meeting.
- Contact. Send the personal invitations to the individuals collected in Step 2 above.
- Count. At each meeting, count how many invitations were sent out since the previous meeting. Never allow the count to be zero.
- Continue. Stick with this program and be consistent.
