Doug Holman, from Holman Brothers Membership Sales Solutions is our guest for this episode as we dive into a fun discussion. Doug takes the opportunity to share some experiences that he has had while working with Chambers of Commerce over the past 20 years and he does some myth busting.

In the Chamber world, we all know about the “sacred cows”. Well, there are some common misconceptions when it comes to membership sales that still happen today at many Chambers because that is the way that is has always been done.

As you listen to Doug as he shares these myths, see how many you can identify with and if there are any changes that your organization can look at making.
