Who will notify me when I'm accepted for membership? |
|
The Membership Chair and your sponsor will call you the day you are voted into the chapter. A letter will follow from Kim Marie Branch-Pettid, LeTip International's CEO, to formally welcome you to our LeTip family.
|
Who sets the Showboat, Greet, and Speak schedule? |
|
The chapter's Program Chair sets the following rotation: first week as the Showboater, second week as the Official Greeter and third week as the Speaker.
|
|
Showboating allows members to properly exhibit their business literature, their products or services. Showboat displays must be set up by 7:01a.m., sharp. Making a genuine effort as a Showboater will have an enormous impact on the amount of qualified Tips received from fellow members.
|
How much time do Speakers have? |
|
Ten minutes are allotted for chapters with up to twenty members. Most Speakers receive an above average amount of Tips that week.
|
|
At the first meeting of the month, members are assigned to visit another member's place of business to learn about their business. During the third meeting of the month, the visiting member will give a commercial for the host member's business. If there was no visitation, the visiting member must give $5 to the non-visited member.
|
Who should I contact if I'm going to miss a meeting? |
|
The Vice President tracks attendance and is the person to contact if you must miss a meeting. Attendance is important, and you must attend at least 80% of all meetings.
|
What is "5'er Day" all about? |
Normally, this event occurs monthly, and gives members the opportunity to bring and introduce qualified guests to the chapter. Everyone should participate.
Members who bring a qualified guest are permitted to keep their $5. Members who do not bring a guest, will drop $5 into the Tip bucket.
|
LeTip provides each member and chapter with our proven program. This includes all the information, guidance, seminars, and leadership activities for your personal business benefit. LeTip also supplies the materials necessary for the success of your chapter: their conceptualization, creation, production, constant up-dating, printing, shipping -and the full-time professionals who are responsible for providing these materials for your benefit.
LeTip also maintains full-time Regional Directors to guide and train your chapter every step of the way. This training includes seminars for all new members and for Board Members. Our Regional Directors, marketing, and administrative executives, ensure that every chapter receives the support it requires to focus and expand its membership.
|
How much does it cost to join a LeTip Chapter? |
|
Your new member fee of $325 is paid directly to LeTip International.
Another fee is paid directly to your new chapter. This fee is a minimum
of $40, and varies from region to region. Additionally, members are
required to pay dues throughout the year. These dues are kept in your
chapter and are used to pay for your meal, business mixers and the
promotion of your chapter. Each chapter sets its own fee schedule,
however dues usually fall into the $125 to $150 range per quarter.
|
How many votes are required for acceptance into the Chapter? |
|
It depends on the Chapter's size. If the Chapter contains fewer than
thirty members, then a minimum of three "NO" votes can permit the
Chapter to deny membership. If there are more than thirty members, then
a minimum of 10% of the membership (tallied from the beginning of the
quarter) voting "NO" is required to permit the Chapter to deny
membership.
|
What if my category is filled? |
|
Since LeTip only accepts one representative of any profession, it is
not unusual to find your category filled. There are two options: you
can ask for a search in another chapter or you can spearhead the start
of a new chapter. In either case, call your Regional Director or LeTip
International at 800-255-3847. We'll do all we can to help you find a
chapter.
|
What really makes LeTip work? |
|
You do. The membership. LeTip teaches you how to network smarter. LeTip
gives you the structure from which to grow. But it is the chapter as a
whole that fuels the success of each member. Rather than just you out
there selling on your own, with LeTip you have a sales force of
professional business people bringing you qualified leads. Remember,
referrals are made based on trust and solid relationships. That's why
it is important to attend meetings and build those relationships so
your chapter will get to know you, just as you'll get to know them.
|
Why shouldn't I just join my Chamber of Commerce? |
|
Actually LeTip believes that you should be a member of both your
Chamber and LeTip. Your Chamber of Commerce is good for your business
and your community. The difference though between a Chamber and your
LeTip Chapter is exclusivity. You "own" your category when you join
LeTip and your competition is excluded from your chapter. Chambers, by
their very nature, cannot exist without being inclusive.
|
How do I know LeTip will work for me? |
|
LeTip will work for you... if you work LeTip. Just follow the program.
It has worked for thousands upon thousands of business people. But to
be successful in LeTip - or in any endeavor - requires perseverance and
the universal understanding that you must give before you receive.
There is much to be said about "All for one and one for all!"
|
How soon will I see financial reward? |
|
LeTip is not a get rich fast scheme. It takes time to earn the trust of
your chapter members, to become adept in the networking arena, to learn
to promote yourself and your business with ease. If you expect instant
reward, LeTip is not for you. If you want to build long-standing
business relationships that will earn you qualified referrals for years
to come, then LeTip is for you.
|
What does LeTip expect of me? |
|
LeTip expects you to attend meetings because you can't build relationships if you aren't in attendance. LeTip expects you to pass, on average, one qualified referral every week. LeTip expects you to be ethical, professional and experienced in your line of work. LeTip expects you to help all your members to be successful and they are expected to do the same for you.
|
What can I expect LeTip to do for me? |
|
You can expect LeTip to provide the structure and the guidance of the
LeTip program. You can expect your Regional Director or Ambassadors to
train your chapter members in leadership and presentation skills. You
can expect all the necessary materials to run a chapter to be provided
without charge. You can expect annual training in the newest networking
and chapter building techniques for your Board Members and Committee
Chairs. You can expect your category to be protected. And you can
expect our full time staff in our corporate office to assist you when
necessary.
|
What makes LeTip different than any other leads group? |
|
To put it simply, LeTip is the original. We aren't a watered down copy. We set the standard back in 1978 because we created a program to embrace both businesswomen and businessmen. We stick to the format, require our members to be committed, expect excellence and reject mediocrity. We're snappy, successful and honored by the incredibly talented and professional membership who are the true spirit of LeTip.
|
When are my dues required to be paid? |
|
Most chapters collect dues on a quarterly schedule. Each chapter's
Board of Directors establishes the amount for their chapter. There are
NO paid positions or profits involved, only the actual costs to run the
chapter.
