Protect your Commission  

(Let’s be honest) Too many

communicators believe that the

association –or its product or

service is the topic.

The real topic is the reader or what the

reader can do better if they attend your

meeting.

It’s not ‘us and our stuff”

Communication NOT - To Dos

These are not a calls to action | They take the focus away from saying why the member should be there

Why do YPN events work?

1. They don’t ask for anything.

• No ask to volunteer for something, or give money. Just a simple get together to make new connections.

2. The events are LOW KEY.

• They are not a big production, or intimidating.

• Often they are at a location other than the Association office, making them even more comfortable and motivating to attend.

3. They are full of energy.

• Lots of enthusiasm and excitement never hurts!

• Events are lively, fresh and fun.

4. They are open to sharing ideasand genuinely interested in helping each other learn and grow in the business.

• There is no little fear about competition and very little ego.

5. YPN’s collaborate.

• They involve the attendees in the event from the initial invitation, most commonly via social media.

• Often Facebook is used to keep the buzz going about the event, then pictures and posts during, and of course after to talk about how fun/valuable the event was!

Their value proposition is reinforcing a culture

Why do Broker meetings work?

Bring key info from NAR meetings that are broker specific

Profile topics that Brokers care about – candidates, legal, risk reduction, economy

Joint meetings with local landlord/tenant, builders and other industry associations

Ask them to submit questions before they come to the meeting

Give them easy to use “deliverables” that they can present at their brokerage sales meetings

Facilitate a focus group with brokers – let them raise and discuss their biggest issues with each other

If you send a Broker “need to know” e-newsletter, do your research to determine the most desirable topics.
