Recruitment Resource Center
Do you have a vast network of potential members you'd like to invite to be SAF members, but you're not sure how to approach them or what information to provide? Here are a few recruitment tips.
•
Identify the best prospects. Review your network of professional colleagues and identify who might benefit from SAF membership.
•
Know the benefits of membership. Review the
membership pages to provide prospects with more information about SAF and membership benefits.
•
Give examples. Provide your colleagues with examples of how your SAF membership has benefited you both personally and professionally. A positive testimonial is a great recruitment tool.
•
Keep membership materials handy. Print out copies of the
paper membership application to distribute at your next event and keep on hand at the office.
•
Invite your prospects to upcoming events.
•
Invite them to join online. Ask them to join easily online by going to
www.eforester.org/Membership. Remind them to enter your information as their “
Sponsor” during the join process.
•
Follow up. Check back in a few weeks to see if they have joined and ask if they have any questions.
Not sure if a colleague is a current SAF member? Check the
SAF Member Directory before you begin a conversation about membership.
If you aren’t comfortable reaching out on your own, let SAF do the work for you. Email
membership@safnet.org the contact information of your prospects and we will reach out on your behalf.
