Does your club have a method for managing leads?  A name pops up about being a potential Rotary member.  What happens next? 
For larger clubs Rotary has a training program for working membership leads.  Go to https://learn.rotary.org/members/learn/catalog/view/70 for more information. 
 
For smaller clubs in communities where everyone knows everyone I suggest the club executive committee work out a sequence for documenting, contacting, and following up on names presented for possible membership.
