December 9th | 12-1:30 pm Eastern
Find Your People: Attracting, Screening, & Recruiting Potential Community Members
Join Shelly Parks of 500 Communities to learn how to craft a message about your community that hits home with the folks you are hoping to attract.
Finding core members for your community requires a good bit of equal parts hard work and strategic thinking, as well as a willingness to be open-hearted and vulnerable. And it takes some real intention to refine an effective, authentic message and to get that message in front of the right people.
In this workshop, Shelly will be sharing her top five tips for recruiting your future neighbors. You’ll learn specific ways to better capture the attention of prospective members AND how to develop their attention into meaningful relationships.
During this session you will learn:
- How to brand and message your community
- How to create a pitch for membership
- How to engage a prospective member and track the relationship
- How to track the results of your efforts to better inform your future efforts
