GDPR – Sink or Swim, from the Sales & Retention Convention Nov '17

Here’s a summary of key points… if you would like to see the whole presentation, then please sign up for the Webinar on Tuesday 28 November at 2pm (free to convention delegates, or £25 otherwise).

How to handle the membership end process - The Sales & Retention Convention

How do you manage the process of members leaving your club? Many organisations do nothing about leavers, sticking their heads in the sand. If handled well, the leave process can help turn members around, or at the very least, improve your chances of getting an ex-member to return

The first session at the autumn 2017 Sales & Retention Convention started where the last event left off, focusing on members who have perhaps been absent for some time, and now are trying to leave. We talked about the process that leavers should go through, the opportunity for dialogue or discussion with the member who wants to leave, and collecting and making use of critical membership data.
