60,000 Active Rain Members can't be wrong!

What is everyones guess when our family will hit the 60,000 members mark?

I invite as many of my contacts as I can. Does anyone have a good lead line that has worked for you, that everyone can use in the invite box where we personally invite them?

It seems that 95% of my invites don't understand the true value of being involved with such a great group and the importance of blogging.

We all know they are missing the boat, the only ones that don't are them.

It's a speeding boat that all Real-estate professionals should be riding.

So back to the question, whats your guess on the date when the 60,000th member signs on? Let's see who's closest when that date comes.

Brett, thank you. Hoping some of the pro's in the family will help us all out. I know Bryant Tutas has 61 invited members, hopefully he'll stop by.

Duane, Had a call yesterday from one of the AR tech guys. Just about fell out of my chair ! I had submitted a support question and later that day he calls to help figure it out. Talk about excellent customer service : prompt, courteous, competent, professional, good communication skills ! No wonder this place can't seem to attract new members ! LOL

Bill, wow, that's awesome service. Now we just have to figure out how to sell it to our invitees.

Thanks for the comment.

The average is over 100 new members per day so the 60,000 will be acheived before midnight Pacific time on December 2nd.

I've found that about 1 in 5 of the people I've invited actually join. But if everyone invited did join and participate, there'd probably be half a million members here!

Eric, you have a better track record then I have at this point. But I will keep on inviting because I find AR such a great place for networking and learning.

Duane, I have only tried to invite two people with no success, but then I'm new myself. However, I'll keep on trying, Karen Kruschka www.e-virginiarealestate.com

I have not had much luck either. I will keep on trying. I am thinking of making a list of people and calling them rather than the email to link.

Gita, I do the same, whenever I get the chance I send the invitation to R/E Professionals that I have met over the years. Because I think this is a great forum for the professional I will continue to invite them.
