I believe that associations could vastly increase the value of their databases by simply doing better tracking of day-to-day interactions with members and customers, just like you describe.

One way I use the database is to track those members with whom I have a positive, more personal relationship. When time comes to seek the input of members on an idea or to get some early adopters on a program, I can query the database for all the people I’ve come to know in the membership over the years.

And you’re right, if we make suggestions of new uses for the systems we already have in place, we can probably get others to take up new ideas and get even more out of the tools they already have at hand.

Loved this post. So true. This is pretty much the way I see it too. People are busy, busy, busy. So it’s out jobs to show people, clearly and directoly, how various systems can be used to their benefit. So often we’re caught in a certain cycle of thinking. But when someone is proactive and presents to us ideas for considerations, we’re more likely to take them up on some of those ideas. And this way, everyone wins!
