Subscription to Community Masterclass
Subscription to Community Masterclass Information
NEW! This masterclass series is for you if you are involved in running a membership or subscription business and are struggling to keep your valued members (or worry you might in the future).
Everyone in this business knows that keeping your members is much more time and cost effective (and rewarding!) than having to always fill the hopper with new people (what we call the “leaky bucket syndrome”).
Never forget, all - yes all - subscriptions are a luxury. So when times get tough and people start to question their discretionary spend, unfortunately subscription fees come under increased scrutiny.
Now is the time to make sure you have a rock-solid engagement strategy in place so your offering is a “must keep” for your members. Through this masterclass we explore how you can take your business from being a network to becoming a thriving community of enthusiasts and supporters. A place they just won’t want to give up.
If you are starting to see your retention rates decline or you just want to make sure you are ready if and when it happens, this course is for you.
We look at how by switching from a place of being in charge to one of collaboration and partnership you will achieve a step change in retention rates as well as creating a more fun, vibrant and effective offering for new joiners.

What the fee covers
The fee covers all modules, live sessions and access to our online community of your peers so you can connect with others in your field. (Note the community will remain available for all alumni after the course also).
Note: If you work for a non-profit and/or do not have a learning & development budget, please reach out. We are happy to offer a discount.
Structure
We will launch the programme on 8th Feb at 17.00 GMT/ 12.00 ET/ 9.00 PT. There, you will get to meet the group, we will run through the course and enrol you in the community. It is not imperative that you join the launch but it will be a great chance to meet others and start to make those all important connections!
As we understand that not everyone can join sessions live and complete tasks at the same time, the course modules themselves will be available after the 8th February for you to work through at your leisure. We will, however, come together to connect, discuss the themes, knowledge, ask questions and share experiences on
22nd February 2023 from 5pm GMT/ 12pm ET/ 9am PT
8th March 2023 from 5pm GMT/ 12pm ET/ 9am PT
29th March from 5pm GMT/ 12pm ET/ 9am PT
Each session will be a mix of icebreakers, deep dives on some of our own offerings and breakout sessions around some of the topics that have been covered in the course.
About your fellow attendees
People taking the course will all be running or overseeing a subscription or membership business or organisation. Attendees could be from a range of sectors, not-for profit or commercial.
This is a small group in which we hope we will hold each other accountable so we ensure we all achieve the results we want. We know you are all very busy but if you can, please do join as many of the live group sessions as possible so we can build connections and learn from each other.
