whats gonna keep them coming?

heya.. just wanna add in something to the discussion as well..

we're primarily doing consultation and activity services
(the amount of money to be reaped from the financial consultant and travel agency is really, really inconsequential compared to the amount we fleece *ahem* i mean earn from the membership fee)

so i think we need to come up with something else that makes us stand out, and get people to keep coming back

what is it about our consultancy services that we offer?
we are very customer-oriented? we are good listeners? good-looking? empathic? easily excitable? able to build instant rapport? experience a wide variety of activities such that we know what to recommend? deep knowledge of human psychology?
lora progressively showing more skin as they come back for future consults?
(just kidding. about the easily excitable part. we dont want to injure anybody)

so far, we have not come up with a comprehensive list of what we are going to do during our twice-a-month-meet-other-old-people-so-you-can-be-reminded-that-you-are-old gatherings.
we need to make it perhaps a bit special, something that they probably can't get elsewhere.

only then can we justify our increase in membership which is essential cos at this point in time, my financial projections say that we break even in the 5th year with each of us getting $1500 a month. we have 9500 members at the end of the 5th year.

so if you have the time, maybe can think of "what is it that'll make them come?"

(i'm thinking lora but we'll need more than that. she can't handle 9500 people. can she?)
