I attended two chapter meetings today. One in the morning, one at lunch time. The morning group had no guests, the lunch group had 9 guests. What's the difference?
It's amazing to see how two chapters with relatively the same professions can act so differently. The morning group wants badly to grow the group, but always looks for some magical formula that requires little or no effort.
The lunch group never really discusses 'we need to bring guests'. They just do it. No complaining, no whining, no 'let somebody else do it'. Members of the lunch group are so proud of the chapter they belong to and are genuinely thrilled to be there every week. They can't wait to showcase their chapter.
The morning group has the demeanor of 'this is such a chore' that they appear bored at the whole concept. It's not hard to see why guests are NOT chomping at the bit to visit the chapter. The members aren't even thrilled to go, so why would they bring guests to see it?
The bottom line is that everyone in AmSpirit Business Connections wants to be in a chapter with someone who is enthusiastic, brings lots of guests, and generates lots of referrals. What's stopping you from being that very person? Why not be your chapter's savior, rather than looking for someone else to do it?
If you can fill a room with like-minded people that have the 3 characteristics above (enthusiastic, bringing guests, generating referrals) you may just find a culture like the lunch group I mentioned here.
