Creating An Incredible Family: Membership Event Overview

Updated: Nov 19, 2019



The Greater Cheyenne Chamber of Commerce is assembling the most amazing Chamber Family through the 2019 Membership Event. We want everyone involved to be informed, excited and ready to take action.


This is a fun and friendly competition! The Chairs selected will be competing to have the top producing Membership Event Team and they will do all they can to not be ROASTED at the Toast & Roast Event Thursday, November 21st.


How does the Membership Event work? Your Chamber Connection has this guy, who is kind of like "Charlie" off of Charlie's Angels." He talks some and gives some marching orders. The only difference is he is doing this in person and he totally wears a colorful zoot suit.


So here is a quick overview.



THE CHAIRS: The Membership Event Chairs are ready to Rock! They had a meeting on October 23rd and were given their mission. You will be hearing from these amazing Chairs to participate as a Captain for one of the following dates in November- 19th & 20th. Each Chair will selected a total of 5 Captains! These Chairs will decorate their tables, get their Captains and Superheroes hyped for the festivities, and will be a resource for their assembled volunteers throughout the Membership Event.

Here is the deal! The Chairman will be there to support their Captains and Superheroes during the two day Membership Event. Captains will be there for their specific time frame with their assembled superhero volunteers. The goal of our Membership Event is to get more than 300 members joined and added to our Incredible Family of Businesses that are unified under the Greater Cheyenne Chamber of Commerce. After they signup with our assembled teams they will then be given membership information by our RUNNERS!


WHICH TEAM DO YOU THINK WILL WIN?



THE RUNNERS: The first point of contacts our businesses will have will be with the volunteers who sign them up to join. The second point of contact will be with another Chamber Member who will be delivering their "New Member Information" and plaque within moments of them being a new invested partner of the Chamber. We will thank them in-person with for their membership and will get them growing their network instantly upon signing up. Their third point of contact will be with a Chamber Staff Member. We will call them, verify their contact information, learn about their business and work to get them immediately engaged.

MEMBERSHIP EVENT TIPS


NEVER TOO EARLY TO START! Some teams will wait for their shift for the membership drive to sell, others will come in with memberships and payments in-hand! We call this sandbagging and it is encouraged.


BUG YOUR PEEPS! Chairman, Captains and Superheros need to be in touch with one another and aware of all of the details, as well as who they are reaching out to. That way they can ask different people and make sure they are not overlapping.


DRESS FOR SUCCESS! This is true for the membership drive. We want folks to channel their inner superhero and encourage the Chairman and Captains to decorate their tables to get everyone hyped up and ready to go and we encourage Superheros to come armed and ready for a success membership event (armed with members of course)!


SHOW UP & BE PRESENT! We ask that everyone who participates to come ready to learn, have fun and overall compete. It is a really great time but folks need to show up for their proper shifts and really bring the power for the time allotted.
