42 MiMfg Magazine November 2019 Be a Manufacturing Ambassador Introducing the MMA Member Referral Program MMA plays a vital role in creating a strong economic environment for Michigan manufacturing and our members are the lifeline of the Association. It is because of our members that we are able to grow and sustain the industry — now and into the future. Help expand our MMA community by sharing the value of membership with your friends and colleagues. Take pride in strengthening the industry and be rewarded on your annual dues investment. When you help recruit a new member, you ensure continued growth and support of a thriving Michigan manufacturing industry. To show our appreciation when a company you refer joins MMA, you’ll save 10% off your next annual membership dues. Plus, the company you refer will save 10% off their first-year membership investment. How It Works 1. Log into MyMMA at mimfg.org and submit your referral or use the downloadable referral cards (like the one at the bottom right). 2. If you use the online form, your referral will receive an invitation to join MMA. 3. When your referral joins, have them include your name and your company on their MMA membership application. 4. When your referral joins, they save and you’ll save. Tips on Recruiting New Members • Your personal recommendation is often the most valuable selling point to a colleague. People are four times more likely to make a decision if referred by someone they know. • Invite a prospective colleague to attend an MMA event with you and get to experience the benefits of MMA membership first-hand. • Start a discussion about MMA membership, emphasizing the benefits and value. Contact MMA and we’ll provide membership materials for you to share. • Keep issues of MiMfg Magazine on display to attract the eyes of potential new members. • Post announcements of MMA events on your website. • Like and share with MMA on your social media outlets.
