Will You Add? - Surface Tension Remedy
One of the most famous headlines ever used was done almost a hundred years ago and it went something like this Do you make these same mistakes in Spelling?. Most of the marketers out there today see nothing wrong with this headline, they say it is one of the best ever used.

Mary Nyitray, owner of Optical Arts, experienced just such a scenario. She joined The Women’s Entrepreneurial Network (WEN) hoping to increase her eyewear business. Nothing happened. Mary was also a cave dweller feeling that she was working only when she was at her store. She did not make efforts to meet members outside the meeting. One year later at the time to renew her membership, she almost didn’t write that check. She’s glad she did, because just about that time one member arrived at the meeting wearing really cool glasses. Questioned about them, the member related that she had purchased them from Mary Nyitray. The word was out. In the second year of her membership, a steady stream of members went to Mary’s shop to get new frames. It became accepted that if you needed glasses, Optical Arts was the only place to go.

Martin Lawson, National Director of BNI, Great Britain, developed the confidence curve to describe this occurrence. He looked at two factors, time and the number of referrals.

He noticed that for his BNI members, at some point after they joined a chapter, there would be an explosion of referrals.

When one WEN member purchased and wore eyewear from Mary Nyitray, that was the explosion point. All of a sudden many members were wearing Mary’s frames.

Another way is to attend every meeting instead of just coming ever so often, which indicates commitment to the group. Smart new members volunteer for a position where there is plenty of visibility like the registration table where each member has to check in.
