Chris does an amazing job selling memberships at Ravinia Green Country Club. He constantly thinks of outside-the-box initiatives that will result in building his opportunity pipeline. Once he adds them to his pipeline, he's exceptional at converting them to members. Here is a write up on Chris from last year where we won an award for his performance. Incredibly, despite losing a portion of his year to Covid, his results have been significantly more dramatic in 2021 than they were in 2020. Chris Thomas (Membership Director) at Ravinia Green Country Club in Riverwoods Illinois is having a great year! He started with the company in July of 2017 when he answered an ad on Indeed.com that he thought looked interesting Chris has been a big part of the turnaround at Ravinia Green. GM Tony Rizzo joined him in September and the two of them have worked diligently to build a team that can take the Club to a new level. When they started, they had a mass exodus underway and they were asked to stop the bleeding. Some of the upgrades to the Club included a complete renovation of the fitness center in October of 2018. The next improvement to the Club was the addition of two golf simulators which have been a big hit. Chris currently stands as the Club Champ in Zombie Dodgeball! Chris’s passion for creating relationships with members, his team and local networking groups is evident from the moment you meet him. During my first call with Chris, he mentioned running used to be his jam as he worked for a specialty running shoe store prior to joining us. After just a few minutes in his presence, you’ll see that membership sales has replaced running as Chris’s jam! Chris has lured two networking groups away from the competition and they are now meeting weekly at Ravinia Greens. The groups are made up of local dignitaries and business owners. Between the two groups, Chris will meet with over 120 people on an average week. YTD, Chris is up 19 net members and his net dues are a positive $7020 vs a negative $18,042 PY. He’s accomplished all this while the Chicago area has experienced one of the worst years ever in terms of their weather.

Chris is a strategic and innovative professional. His insight and enthusiasm would add value to any organization. During his tenure as VP of Business Development at Creata Promotion he contributed to the remarkable results achieved on both the McDonald's and Kellogg accounts. He is results driven in everything he takes responsibility for. He is a smart marketer with a strong track record in consumer marketing. Chris is well informed, has strong people skills, and is inspiring to work with.
