Associates Group - Building on the basics to generate business in 2010

At yesterday’s meeting, Mark Sparks of Visual Media Group and president of the Associates Group explained his goal for the group to stand out as the sales and business generating arm of Seattle Executives.

One of the ways the Associates will become more involved with the main body of Execs is by attending at least one Wednesday meeting a month. This provides the opportunity to network with the main members, see who they are and learn what sort of leads they need, as well as let them know what sort of leads the Associates need.

Another new direction is designed specifically to keep Associate members’ names in front of the main members, in order to generate interest and increase membership in the Associates Group. This is called ‘The Marketing Minute, Brought to You by the Associates Group’. An idea generated by Charmel Bowden of Turks Head, this minute will become a regular part of the Wednesday luncheons and feature a marketing or sales suggestion for the entire group.

Sponsoring a member in the Associates Group is a great idea for all Execs. If you’d like more information about the group contact SEA Office at 206-352-3955.
