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.
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.
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.
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!"
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
