Will You Up-Level Your Member Experience This Year?
Show Notes

A lot of people think that member experience is comprised of the specific member benefits that an organization offers. While that is indeed part of it, member experience is more about the sum total of all interactions a member has with your organization. This includes everything from the moment they first hear about your program, through the joining process, into participating in what you offer, and continuing right on into the renewal decision.

Every interaction that your organization has (or doesn't have) with someone becomes part of their experience. These tiny little moments may be things that an organization isn't even thinking about, or wouldn't notice, but the member does notice... and those moments build over time to make a difference in whether they stay or go. 

That's the topic of this week's show, plus Joy shares where the podcast is going in 2022.

But beyond industry experience and education…

Joy Duling is the calm voice you want to have in the room when you, your team, or your board is overwhelmed by ideas and options.

She's a trusted resource at the other end of an email or phone call who knows the answer, or can find the answer, when it's not clear what to do next in your approach.
She's a planner of systems and driver of progress that helps your organization achieve stretch goals.

She's a gifted facilitator of conversation, collaboration, and constructive growth. 

And she's approachable and results-oriented,  which makes it easy to shake loose of the old and start fresh on the new.
