Professional Associations: Strengthening Your Message to Achieve Better Results
Professional associations live in a complex B-to-B sales environment. Members and prospects are often from organizations with many different stakeholders facing a variety of needs and concerns.
Since many professional associations are not effectively managing this complex environment, memberships and revenues are declining across the country. Associations tell us:
- “Our membership growth has stalled.”
- “We are experiencing issues with member retention.”
- “Our communication materials fail to break through and create involvement.”
- “We need a better way to cost-effectively market our programs and services.”
- “Our programs and services are not being noticed, understood, nor used.”
Sound familiar? The solution may not be as complicated as you think. Using a simple 4-tiered approach, your professional association can gain insight into powerful data that likely already exists. By mining this data and translating the results, your professional association will have the roadmap needed to grow.
