Earlier this year we conducted a survey to learn more about the things that keep you up at night so that we could better serve you.
With the support of Survey Expert Jeanne Hurlbert, we were able to analyze the data and determine not only those things you say you need the most but how your WSA membership supports you in easing or solving those needs. We also went back to the drawing board to design even more ways that we can support you with those things that we learned are of most importance to you.
We want you to know that the feedback you gave us has become the filter through which we pass every opportunity, every idea, every possible offer and benefit. If it doesn’t address what you told us you need the most, we don’t move forward with it.
Top 5 Needs:
When asked about those things YOU NEED & would take action on or make a change on right away (within the next 4 weeks), you said…
Generating more prospects to build your following/community (70.5%)
Getting more speaking engagements (68.2%)
Increasing your conversions/sales (61.9%)
Creating strategic alliances (57.6%)
Creating a talk (49.8%)
Here’s How WSA Is Addressing Those Needs:
Through our primary offer of our WSA Associate and Premier Memberships, we fulfill our mission of getting women and their message out into the world. We do this by providing you, our members with innovative, interactive online and offline platforms for you to connect, collaborate and mastermind with one another; and by providing benefits that support you in getting seen, booked and paid. Generating more prospects and more speaking engagements starts with increasing your visibility and having the right foundational pieces in place to build a successful, profitable, sustainable business. Through a variety of channels, we bring you: a world-class education on the topics you’ve deemed most important; the benefit of being found and booked directly from our website not only by the event promoters, meeting planners and the media who frequent our site looking to identify and book speakers and industry experts, but also from within our global network of women in 120 countries on 6 continents (many of whom host their own live and virtual events, tv and radio shows, tele-summits and webinar series). As a result, our intention is that you feel supported to do what you came here to do: use your voice to cause lives to change, businesses to thrive, communities to flourish, and the world to be a better place for all.
