THE PROBLEM
Filling the bucket without fixing the leak.
Your figures show positive new member acquisition. Marketing reports look positive. But somehow, total membership is down 8%.
By the time leadership realises, the association has lost 300 long-term members and the revenue that came with them.
This isn't an unusual situation. Membership teams often lack the right data visibility, which means problems are identified later than ideal and key metrics don’t always reflect what truly drives growth.
THE SOLUTION
Get a clear understanding of your membership numbers. Use our complete toolkit to assess, measure, and act on your membership data.
1.Health Dashboard: Calculate your retention and growth rates, pipeline, and see where your association sits on the Membership Health Quadrant.
2.Diagnostic Questionnaire: Complete a short survey to identify your biggest leak or blockage and pinpoint exactly where to focus.
3.Metrics Workbook: Finally, use the Metrics Workbook to understand what every number means and what to do about it.
What's Inside
Each tool delivers value on its own, but together they give you the complete picture of your membership health.
Start with the Membership Health Dashboard to ‘measure’ where you’re at, use the Diagnostic to ‘assess’ the situation, and turn to the Workbook to ‘understand’ what it all means.
MEMBERSHIP HEALTH DASHBOARD
Calculate 7+ indicators from your raw membership data.
Enter your numbers and the dashboard instantly generates a clear snapshot of your membership health. Built-in benchmarks show how you’re tracking, with immediate recommendations on where to focus first.
- Retention rate, loss rate & attrition
- Growth rate & first-year retention
- Non-member ratio, audience growth & conversion rate
- Full pipeline funnel visualisation
- Automatic critical alerts for urgent issues
- Membership Health Quadrant placement
- Built-in retention & growth rate benchmarks
Diagnostic Questionnaire
Identify your core membership problem in one sitting.
A structured assessment that adapts to your answers across four diagnostic areas: Core Health → Understand → Nurture/Grow → Optimise. It's a personalised diagnostic, not a generic survey. You'll need basic membership numbers (rough estimates are fine), access to recent reports if available, and honest reflection on your current challenges.
- Identify your membership health classification
- Your top 2–3 prioritised quick wins
- Capacity assessment so recommendations stay realistic
- Clear next steps for the first 30–90 days
Metrics Workbook
Master every metric with formulas, benchmarks, and frameworks.
This comprehensive Metrics Workbook covers all 6 core metric categories. For every metric, you get a formula with a worked example, industry benchmarks/targets (where available) and common pitfalls.
- Core Membership Health (Retention & Growth)
- Engagement & Value Delivery
- Acquisition & Pipeline
- Member Voice & Satisfaction
- Digital & Communications Performance
