Association Strategy

Do you want your association to grow, remain relevant, and be a market leader? If so, Getting Association Strategy Right is the course for you.

I love strategy. Why? Because association strategy provides escape velocity, the ability to break free of your current gravitational field and achieve new heights. These heights can be measured in three ways: growth, relevance, and market leadership. These three results are so important that Seth has built this video series that shows step-by-step how he does strategy for his association clients.

Here is what a well-formed association strategy can do for you:

Increase membership, revenue or market penetration

Ensure your members and potential members know that to stay current, be the first to know, they must belong to your organization

Dominate in your niche, be the go-to organization for the mission impact you provide
