P. 16
Prospective Member I have a small child at home.
You can say Bring your child with you to our meetings. You’ll find
lots of “grandmothers and aunts” at our meetings. We’ve ‘raised’ a lot of
member’s children over the decades. And who knows, you may find a per-
manent babysitter if you need one.
Do you have any other response?
Prospective Member I have a problem (at work or home) Taking time/focus
You can say We have a member whose job it is to work with peo-
ple with problems. I could ask her to contact you.
She says, “Do you think she would be at your next meeting?”
You, “Oh sure, she attends most of our meetings.”
She says, “Then I would like to attend your next meeting and meet her.”
You, “That would be great, and I’ll see if after the meeting the two
of you could meet in private.”
Do you have any other response?
Do you have another reason that a prospective member would not join?
Let me know.
