Each guest is required to attend two (2) meetings before an application can be accepted. Once an application is submitted, an inspection will be scheduled with a LeTip of Doylestown inspector either in-person or over the phone to review requirements and ask specific questions about your business.

Dues are due the first week of each quarter. The Board of Directors establishes the amount for LeTip of Doylestown. There are NO paid positions or profits involved, only the actual costs.

We offer a complimentary continental breakfast with coffee each meeting.

Mr. Cryan is a long standing members that is famous for always being willing to help other members, new or long standing. His motto has always been “when you help someone, you get that warm fuzzy feeling” and he may even call you out during the meeting.

Your fellow LeTip members are your business’ best references, as you are theirs. Member’s LOYALTY to each other explains why the best of LeTip chapters are so overwhelmingly successful and continue to grow every year. Support your SALES FORCE and they will support you.

Members are asked to talk directly with other members about any problems that arise. Most of the time this will be an adequate solution. If the problem persists, contact the Ethics Chairperson. This is a person who is not on the Board of Directors and will assist you with the problem. Every issue is confidential and will be kept that way. The Ethics Chairperson will take steps as necessary to resolve the issue using specific guidelines set by LeTip International

The Poker Folder is a tool used to encourage new members to bring in a Qualified Guest to the following week’s meeting. Members who do take $10.00 out of the tip bucket. While members who don’t will be required to drop $10.00 into the tip bucket and keep the poker folder for one more week. If at the next meeting the member brings in a Qualified Guest, they may take $10.00 out of the tip bucket.

The Program Director sets a schedule for LeTip of Doylestown so everyone has an opportunity as they join the group. On average, each member has an opportunity to Greet, Showboat and Speak (in that order for consecutive weeks) about twice per year.

Each speaker has 5 minutes at the podium at the front of the room, and can optionally present a slide show on the large format projector screen. Speakers usually take an additional 60 seconds for Q&A. 

Only as specified by LeTip International, an alternate may attend six (6) times per year, and never more than two (2) consecutive meetings. That person must be a qualified substitute, not a secretary.

The answer is one of accountability. Fines are not meant to be punitive. Most of the fines LeTip imposes on its members are small and only serve as a reminder that you have certain obligations to your fellow members and your chapter as a whole.

You can arrive at a LeTip of Doylestown meeting as early as 6:30am. We ask our members to arrive by 7:00am sharp in order to socialize, grab coffee and some light breakfast, and find their seats in a timely manner. The meeting officially starts at 7:16 sharp, and ends at 8:31 sharp.

The initial membership fee is established by LeTip International, Inc. and is separate from the local chapter dues. As of March 1, 2022, the International membership fee is $440. The quarterly dues for LeTip of Doylestown are $250 which include the cost of breakfast and our ability to secure our meeting space.

A minimum of 10% of the membership (tallied from the beginning of the quarter) voting “NO” is required to permit the Chapter to deny membership.

The Membership Chairperson and your sponsor (if a chapter member) will call you the day you are voted into the Chapter. You will also receive email correspondence from LeTip International with steps to signup for LeTip Wired.

Each week a business card from the speaker of the previous week is placed under someone’s chair or plate. The person, if a member, is required to give a commercial as if they were indeed that person. We do this to reinforce the importance of the Speakers each week, and to keep each member’s attention focused on the meeting. (If the card is at a guest’s seat, then it is passed to the right until it reaches a member).

A Qualified Guest is a person whose occupation is not represented in the Chapter, and if permitted to join, would not be in conflict with any of the Chapter’s members. Guests are invited for two (2) meetings, and they must decide about joining at the second meeting.

To maintain your membership – four (4) tips per month are required. The real question is: How much business do you really want? You will be rewarded according to your ability to help others. Really! The more you tip, the more tips you will receive. It’s not a one-way street.

Members that sponsor a specified number of new members into LeTip receive a badge upgrade and a gift from LeTip International as a sign of our appreciation. Blue = 3 members; Silver = 10 members; Gold = 25 members; Platinum = 50 members. Our badge incentive program provides recognition for LOYALTY.

At each meeting every member receives between 30 – 60 seconds to pass tips, pay fines, and do their commercial. Many commercials begin by informing fellow members – “This is the way you can best tip me”. Make it count.

Showboating allows each member to properly explain their business’ service and needs to fellow members. Each week’s Showboater is asked to arrive and set up their company’s display of products or services by 7:01 A.M. SHARP. Making a real effort to “DISPLAY” your business will have an enormous impact on the amount of tips you receive from fellow members.

“Fiver Day” occurs on the second meeting of each month, and is set aside to give members the opportunity to bring and introduce Qualified Guests to the chapter. It is recommended that everyone bring a guest. Those members who do bring a Qualified Guest are permitted to remove $5.00 from the tip bucket when it is circulated. Members who do not bring a Qualified Guest are fined $5.00 which is placed into the tip bucket when it reaches them.
