Meet every two weeks
Review of last call – propects were reviewed, and Ann and Ginny knew some, and each said they would follow up with four or five, using a “light touch” approach
David: two types of contacts – advocates (cheerleaders) and decision-makers
Having contacts at both levels can be helpful for each prospect. Do we have the right contacts? If not, who should these be? Initial information gathering documented in the spreadsheet can be helpful.
Broader question: What is the value proposition for membership in VIVO?
Many angles, depending on who you are speaking with. Technical vs. strategic
Discussion around what membership is. VIVO Membership page doesn’t clearly specify:
https://duraspace.org/vivo/community/members/
DuraSpace page more clear, but generic: https://duraspace.org/membership/value-and-benefits/
Recommendation to build a reference list of those who can speak about their value in membership: bring this up on the next leadership call
1. review prospect list and brainstorm or meet new prospects (via camps or other meetings)
2. Consider members at lower levels; can these upgrade their level of participation?
3. Talk to Mike and get recommendations for upgrades or new prospects
4. Are there new opportunities to present on VIVO? Presence at conferences and events
5. Only loosely couple the pitch with the software, so we can attract prospects who may not yet be in production.
Last items that David will follow up with:
Suggest templates of marketing letters
Presentation templates
Shared document that identifies the value proposition
