[Lnc-business] Membership Recruitment

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

Members are entitled to a free shirt.

All of us should be doing this and that opportunity is equally available to
all.

To say that successful recruiters who happen to be running cannot use the
standard membership pitch to me is where we get insanely territorial and
self-destructive.

People sign up twice as much when they get something in their hands on the
spot.

I will get 100 more members.  If I have to be hobbled by not even having
the standard supplies, well - we aren’t interested in signing up members
because we are too concerned over our internicence calculations.  And if
that’s the case - I’m not setting myself up for failure.  If I’m going to
recruit, I’m going to kick ass.  If I’m not equipped for success then I’m
going to put my energy elsewhere and will deliver to Wes in April the
remainder and will not get the 20 at the CO convention which is my goal.

I would like the rest of the LNC to weigh in.

If not please consider this my request for agenda time in April to settle
this.

     Caryn Ann, I think it's great that you do membership recruiting.
     My concern would be if you're personal campaigning and also using
     membership supplies that are gifts/freebie things to give to
     prospective
     recruits.  (You'd mentioned T-shirts, in a past communication on
     this
     subject.)   I'm not sure what membership supplies you'd need, as
     signing
     up members can just be done with a laptop on the spot. No need for
     supplies.  So, if you're not giving people gifts or freebie stuff,
     while
     signing-up/campaigning, then I see no issue.
