”Would you like to dance?”

How many times in your life have you asked that question?

How many times have you been asked?

Was the answer always, “Yes”?

Here are the top 5 reasons why people say “No”:

1. They would actually like to dance but not with you. Either because they don’t know (trust) you; they do know you but don’t like you or they hate the way you dance.

2. They don’t like the song that is playing.

3. They don’t like to dance or don’t think they know how.

4. They don’t want to be the only couple on the dancefloor.

5. You have asked them to dance when there is no music playing and no dancefloor available and that doesn’t make sense to them.

Manager Tip – Re-read the top 5 reasons people say “No” above in the context of why people haven’t said “Yes” to the invitation you have sent them to join your Groupsite.

Do they know who you are? Do they trust you? Do they like you?

Do they care about the Groupsite’s mission and purpose?

Do they even know what a Groupsite is?

Have you shown them that other people are already participating and getting things done?

Have you made an effort to make your Groupsite relevant to them by inviting others they want to communicate with, creating Discussion Forums that are relevant to their needs and providing an environment that invites sharing and communication?

If not, does it surprise you that more people are not saying “Yes”?
