Imagine being able to reach 1000s of business people for the fraction of the cost associated with general advertising. Well now you can use online networking platforms dedicated to businesses.

It has been an exciting and wonderful journey for me since I migrated in Canada. I celebrated my 3rd year anniversary and it’s amazing how I’ve grown a lot.

10 Rules for Associations (or Groups) to Connect With Members
1. Above all, have a process to welcome visitors or guests to meetings and events. Make them feel like they’ve done you a huge favor by attending. (They have!)
2. Give membership information to guests, but just don’t hand them a packet and expect them to read it. Set aside time and assign a person to go through the material. That person can also encourage the guest to apply.
