Referral Tips

Here are some tips for recruiting new members:

 

Tell the story about why you're a member. Why did you join? What was the most compelling message about SGSNY that made you want to join? If there was a person who influenced your decision to join, why did their opinion matter?

Provide examples. A positive testimonial is one of the strongest tools. Describe how membership has helped you advance personally or professionally via the relationships you have developed through SGSNY.

Appeal to their goodwill. Do they know SGSNY is a charity that has aided people in need in New York for over 250 years? Make sure they are aware of all the ways SGSNY provides life-changing support for people in our community.

Let us help you close the deal! Need us to call or send more information to prospects? Simply email our team at hello@stgeorgessociety.org.

Dear <<NAME>>,

I'm a proud member of St. George’s Society of New York, a charity dedicated to enriching the quality of life for people in need through an established support system within the British and Commonwealth community of New York. SGSNY is supported by our vibrant membership community committed to our historic legacy of giving.

There is strength in numbers, and as our membership grows so does SGSNY’s ability to expand our outreach to people in need. As a member, you’ll not only support our historic mission but also have immediate access to our diverse and influential network as well as a variety of other benefits.

The easiest way to join is online at www.stgeorgessociety.org/join

You can learn more about SGSNY’s mission, charitable programs and membership at www.stgeorgessociety.org.

And, one more thing—drop me a line when you decide to join so that I can be one of the first to welcome you to our community! Don't forget to include my name on your application as a sponsor.

If you have questions, I would be happy to discuss the benefits of membership with you. Please don't hesitate to reach out.

Sincerely,

<<YOUR NAME>>
