Ahoy Everyone,
Here in the Pacific Northwest, Boeing country, (home of thousands of layoffs,
Everett, WA) our local economy is just beginning to show signs of moving to
show its still alive, and improve slightly. I know in other parts of the
country things too are improving possibly at a little better rate than here.
(Hopefully)
Public boating course attendance is starting to show signs of increasing here
and in many other parts of USPS country. And we all know the higher the
attendance in our courses, and the more courses given, success in recruiting
improves.
Squadrons all over USPS are working had recruiting new members. And it shows
in our numbers too. Acquiring new members this year VS last is about the same.
An improvement.
Challenge now is; last year we recruited nearly 40% of new members during
this time of year, March, April, and May. Why? Extra months of membership?
Probably not. It's Spring. Many more classes, many more students, improves
recruiting success. Do the extra months help, can't hurt?
Growing USPS is however, a joint venture. Retention and Recruiting.
Being in sales it's true, keeping a customer is much easier than replacing
one. Keeping customers is how businesses grow. This is how USPS will grow too.
