Who’s going to bring in new members when we’re upgrading just about everybody. I heard Marketing Team Leads position will be eliminated. That’s not a good move. Somebody anybody answer that question.
Please Advise.....

The Membership Lead is getting name changed to Membership Representative and going to be a Salaried Manager if you apply and pass the assessment and are picked for the position. Yes it will basically be a glorified Membership Champ position. Maybe some clubs already have this position in place but ours doesn’t. If you do can you comment on how they are working out?
They hired a supposed "marketing " person in our club too. All that person does is the job the old Plus champ did inside the club! They pulled the wool over that person's eyes also! Such a deceitful place anymore.
Our marketing team does not do anything! They are membership associates all day! Only work Mon to Fri weekends off. They don't make any calls they don't even want to attempt to get credits. Even though the Pandemic is going on there have been new businesses opening they don't attempt to reach out. They don't know what new promotions we are having. Nothing!
I'm a MARKETING LEAD and am so ready for the next chapter in my life, so tired of years of rumors , JUST DO IT ALREADY!!!
Marketing is dead as we know it. It was dying before, but covid finished it off. Look for that department, as we know it, to be abolished.
Just like they got rid of "click n pull," and then brought it back, a few months or so later, as "fulfillment." (Associates doing basically the same jobs.) They will get rid of marketing and bring it back under a new name, remodeled, shinny and new.
I look for marketing and the desk to merge. Neither can continue as is.
The so-called Marketing people left or new are sending out emails, walking around the club constantly bugging members to get credit, their emails and upgrades! The Marketing rooms have always been used as second breakroom for those that no one in the actual breakroom wants to be around. We've been told that there will be no outside Marketing. Either they are confused themselves or flat out lying to get rid of the super star people that have been in marketing for many years.
Marketing? What's that? We haven't had anyone in Marketing for years. We use the Marketing room as an extra breakroom. Do any clubs do outside sales ?
They just hired a new Marketing associated at our club from outside the club with no Sam’s club experience
