Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I am new in my position as Membership Director of a private country club. I have some sales and marketing experience, but in a different industry. How will this book help me?
A: This “how-to” guide will help you completely set up and organize your Membership Office, develop a marketing plan full of lead generating programs plus walk you through the entire sales process for private club memberships.

Q: Our membership policy is “Membership By Invitation Only”. We do very little outside marketing and don’t have a very large budget to work with. How will your product help us?
A: You do not have to spend a lot of money in club marketing to be successful. You will learn many internal programs, incentives and concepts that won’t jeopardize your MBIO status.

Q: Are you available to come to my club to interview, hire and train a new Membership Director as well as develop a marketing plan and budget tailored to my club?
A: Yes, but I do limit the number of clubs I personally work with each year so you get me one on one versus one of my staff that may or may not have the experience or expertise that I have. Plus – If I do work for you from a consulting standpoint, my compensation will be almost entirely performance-based. I am paid when you are selling memberships and meeting and exceeding your goals.

Q: We are a club management company with locations all over the world. Do we get a discount if we order multiple copies?
A: Absolutely! Order five or more books and receive a 20% discount.

Q: What if, after buying your book, I have specific questions on how to tailor certain programs to my club?
A: I would be happy to help you. I may be reached at gethompson@mindspring.com or (404) 428-0453.
