Best Practices - Let Them Know Its Coming

Champions - Recently, I was asked if I could write up a 1-page explanation of what Groupsite.com is all about and what a new member could expect to accomplish by joining their first group.

This 1-page Word doc was printed and handed out at a meeting to get the group ready for what was coming.

The result, they had a tremendous acceptance rate and are now a very engaged Groupsite. 

Here is the letter I drafted:  Intro_Doc_-_LETTER_Jan_2010.doc

Feel free to copy, modify or springboard off of this idea as a way to get greater acceptance and increased involvement from your members by telling them what they can expect so you get buy-in even before they accept their first invite.
