Frequently Asked Questions
LeTip Carlsbad is a diverse and energetic networking group that meets one purpose — to give and receive qualified business tips. What makes LeTip different than any other leads group?To put it simply, LeTip is the original. The organization set the standard back in 1978 to embrace both businesswomen and businessmen. LeTip sticks to the format, requires members to be committed, expects excellence and rejects mediocrity. We're snappy, successful and honored by the incredibly talented and professional membership who are the true spirit of LeTip. What can I expect LeTip to do for me? You can expect LeTip to provide the structure and the guidance of the LeTip program. You can expect your chapter members to be trained in leadership and presentation skills. You can expect all the necessary materials to run a chapter to be provided without charge. You can expect annual training in the newest networking and chapter building techniques for your Board Members and Committee Chairs. You can expect your category to be protected. And you can expect a full-time staff in the corporate office to assist you when necessary. What does LeTip expect of me? LeTip expects you to attend meetings because you can't build relationships if you aren't in attendance. LeTip expects you to pass, on average, one qualified referral every week. LeTip expects you to be ethical, professional and experienced in your line of work. LeTip expects you to help all your members to be successful and they are expected to do the same for you. What is required for me to visit a LeTip meeting as a guest? You may come as a member's guest or you may contact the chapter yourself by completing the "contact form". At the meeting, you will be asked to give a 30 second commercial describing what your business is, and how we can best tip you. You will not need to make any commitment until the second meeting you attend. Bring plenty of your business cards to share! How many meetings do I attend before I can join? Each guest is required to attend two consecutive breakfast meetings before an application can be accepted. An inspection of an applicant's place of business is a requirement of acceptance. Who is a qualified guest? A qualified LeTip guest is a person whose business is not already represented in the chapter, and if permitted to join, would not be in conflict with any of the chapter's members. Guests are invited for two meetings, and they must decide about joining at the second meeting. What is a qualified business tip? A qualified business tip is a company or person who is interested in a specific service or product and is expecting a call from a LeTip member. How many tips do I have to give? Many LeTip members give more than one tip a week. The real question is: How much business do you really want? You will be rewarded according to your ability to help others. The more you tip, the more tips you will receive. How do I earn my Blue, Silver, Gold or Platinum badge? Members that sponsor a specified number of new members into any LeTip chapter receive a badge upgrade and a gift from LeTip International as a sign of our appreciation. Blue = 3 members; Silver = 10 members; Gold = 25 members; Platinum = 50 members. Our badge incentive program provides recognition for loyalty. What is a "Lucky Devil?" Each week a business card from the speaker of the previous week is placed under someone's chair or plate. The person, if a member, is required during members' commercials to give a serious commercial as if they were in that profession. We do this to reinforce the importance of the speakers, and to keep each members' attention focused on the meeting. (If the card is at a guest's seat, then it is passed to the right until it reaches a member). This is done when the tip bucket is being passed around. How long should my commercial be? At each meeting every member receives 30 seconds to pass tips, pay fines, and present their commercial. Begin by informing fellow members - "This is the way you can best tip me". Make it count! When do I get to Greet, Speak or make a Showboat presentation? The chapter's Program Chairperson sets a schedule so everyone has an opportunity as they join the group. During the first week, you have an opportunity to act as a Greeter; during the second week, you are called upon as a Showboater; and during the third week you give a Speaker presentation. What is required when making a Showboat presentation? Showboating allows each member to properly explain their business' service and needs to fellow members. Each week's Showboater is asked to arrive and set up their company's display of products or services by 7:00 am sharp. Making a geniune effort to display your business professionally will have an enormous impact on the amount of tips you receive from fellow members. What is "Fiver Day"? This occurs weekly, and its purpose is to provide additional incentive for members to introduce qualified guests to the chapter. Members who introduce a guest receive a $5 reward from the tip bucket. What is a "Lunch Bunch"? Periodically, several existing LeTip members will schedule a date to treat the newest members to lfellow members' businesses.
