Course Summary – “Generating Membership Leads”:
The number of golf members at clubs today is falling. As a result, the pressure is on to arrest the slide by replacing resigned members with new ones.
In a competitive marketplace, with ever increasing demands on people’s time and money, a more refined and pro-active approach to new member recruitment is needed – starting at the beginning of the process by generating membership leads.
This course looks at that subject in relation to a golf club business and examines the tactics that can be employed to increase inbound membership activity.
