Unique Workplaces

MSAE’s Young Professionals Networking Group met to discuss Unique Workplace Environments. We had an exciting discussion on ways to make your workplace “you” and how to maximize productivity.

Top Takeaways:

1. Stay organized and keep your work space clean.

2. Add personal touches (pictures, plants, etc.).

3. Summer hours can drive productivity. Encourages efficiency and leads to retention and a more positive morale.

4. Take time to relax at work. Surround yourself with soothing colors like blue or green, listen to mellow music.

At our next meeting, August 8, we will discuss the The Art of Resumes. Hope to see you there!

Membership Networking Group Recap

MSAE’s Membership Networking Group met to discuss Return on Investment, Retention and Strategies to Recruit Members. We had an insightful discussion on the art of selling memberships and looking at who your audience is.

Top Takeaways:

1. The new ABC’s of selling: Attunement, Buoyancy and Clarity.

2. Use your phone! Don’t forget the importance of personal connection – even if it is leaving a 15 second voicemail to a new member.

3. What is your biggest return on investment? Dollars? Connections? Saving time?

4. Do your research. Potential members know as much about your product and services as you do.
