Seminar certificates must be redeemed in a 12-months from the date of issue. The certificates are non-transferable.
Where do I find potential members to recruit?
- Seminars. Always carry membership applications with you to the seminars you attend. Whether PSTAP is the sponsoring organization or not, seminars are the best place to recruit new members. Everyone needs CPE, and PSTAP provides the best. Make sure you tell them about the huge savings that PSTAP members receive.
- Colleagues from other offices. Everyone knows at least one other practitioner who would benefit from a PSTAP membership. Drop off membership material or contact them via telephone. (Contact the PSTAP Executive Office for a complete recruitment package)
Once I find a potential member, what do I say?
- Discuss the benefits of membership. Tell them exactly how PSTAP has helped you in your practice. Maybe you attend the seminars and find the member savings most beneficial, maybe you enjoy the discounts on various products that PSTAP offers, or perhaps PSTAP's legislative representation of sole practitioners and smaller accounting firms is most important to you. Convey the value that is offered with the membership. The savings and discounts that our members enjoy more than pay for the annual membership dues.
- Inquire as to the challenges they face in their business and suggest ways that PSTAP can help. For example if they are in need of support services, you may tell them about PSTAP's email discussion group, discounts available on technical publications or PSTAP's quarterly magazine, the PA Accountant.
- Convince them to attend a PSTAP chapter meeting with you.
- Direct them to the PSTAP website, www.pspa-state.org so that they can review the benefits of membership for themselves.
Questions should be directed to the PSTAP Executive Office at 1-800-270-3352.
