PARKER ROTARY CLUB’S TOP 10 WAYS
Top 10 Ways to Greet a Guest or New Member at Rotary
One of this year’s goals for our District Membership Team is to increase the amount of communication, outreach and engagement with our clubs. Regularly I receive an email with a comment or a question from the Rotary Club of Parker’s Membership Chair, Kam Breitenbach. She is a dynamo when it comes to membership and best practices. So, I asked her to share with all of us some of their “secrets” to their success. This is the first of two submissions from the Parker Rotary Club for which I am appreciative.
Below is a handy rule of thumb that Kam shared with me to share with you.
Stand up when you meet someone.
Smile and offer your hand.
Say something like “Thank you for joining us today.”
Take the initiative, don’t wait for visitors to initiate conversation with you.
Ask questions and learn about guests.
Listening is a very effective way to show your interest.
Ask “Would you like to sit with me for breakfast this morning?”
Let me introduce you to…………………
Learn people’s names and remember them.
Be yourself! You are a Rotarian! You have a good thing going!
