Why Join Toastmasters?

This will help you get people to think of the value of Toastmasters in their own terms, to bring guests and new members to the club, as well as get you to think harder about the value that you want to get out of Toastmasters.

Jeffrey Gitomer, in his Little Red Book of Selling, speaks of the importance of asking value-based questions.

For example: Do you want to do polish you public speaking skills in English/Japanese?
may be a good question for someone who has already reflected on the value of public speaking skills in English/Japanese, but a mediocre question for someone who has never thought about the implications of these skills.

Such a person would be better served by value-based questions. Ones that get him to think in terms of his own interests, and answer in terms of membership to Toastmasters.

Here are some examples:
