“You Get More”

It’s more than dollars. It’s a Total Resource Campaign. You get more grassroots marketing. You get more leadership development. You get more program development.

As a staff, you also get more. You get more in terms of personalized coaching. You get more customized materials. You get more from our unique Online System. And you’ll get more dollars in your next campaign.

Your chamber staff will learn our proven method, receive the experienced coaching of the YGM team, and gain access to our unique Online System. Together, these will provide you with everything you need to create a campaign which will increase sponsorships and and volunteer involvement.

You will gain step-by-step guidance throughout the process. You will learn a method that is guaranteed to help you raise both sponsorships and memberships, in numbers higher than ever before.

Your volunteers will have the opportunity to learn business development, marketing and sales skills, and meet new business contacts. The campaign also provides them with a new avenue to approach their existing client base. Most TRC volunteers cite business development as the overwhelming number one reason for participating in the TRC year after year.

Approximately 50 percent of first-year TRC volunteers were not previously involved with the chamber. However, 80 percent of successful TRC volunteers are interested in further participation in chamber programs.

Yes. When the YGM proven method is used properly each year, it will continue to grow non-dues revenue each year. Volunteer participation will increase each year. We have chambers that have been working with us for over a decade, growing with each passing year.

The YGM Online System is unique in that it allows you and your volunteers to track the progress of the campaign – in real time – throughout the entire campaign.

Typically, one staff member will be able to manage the entire campaign (mainly, thanks to the success of the Online System).
