TIPS ON RECRUITING NEW MEMBERS

  • Tell a Story. Share a time when AALL membership was essential to your career. Avoid using jargon and acronyms.
  • Paint a Picture. Use the AALL Brochure as an information guide or a reference for messaging the benefits of AALL.
  • Make It a Game. Set a goal that you want to exceed. Better yet, “compete” against a few other members.
  • Focus on Benefits, Not Features. Explain why AALL membership helps you solve problems; ask prospective members what they need to do their best job.
  • Utilize AALLNET. What better way to illustrate all of the features of membership?
  • Get Social. Spread the word about AALL and the profession through your social media accounts.
  • Be Prepared. Always have an MGAM referral card handy.
  • Keep a Record. Make a list of the members you recruit.
