FAQs

Our Forum stands apart through its structured, results-focused approach. Unlike casual networking events where connections may be fleeting, we create an environment of sustained relationship building among carefully selected professionals. Each meeting follows a proven format designed to generate tangible business opportunities. Our “Help Me” segments ensure every member receives focused attention to advance their specific business goals.

The Forum attracts dynamic sales leaders and business development professionals across diverse industries. Our members range from experienced executives at Fortune 500 companies to ambitious professionals at growing firms. The common thread is a commitment to collaborative success and a strategic approach to relationship building.

We carefully curate each group of 15 members to ensure non-competing industries are represented. For example, a group might include a commercial real estate agent, a financial advisor, an IT consultant and a marketing agency representative. This structure allows for completely open sharing of contacts and opportunities without competitive concerns.

The “Help Me” segment transforms traditional networking into targeted business development. When it’s your turn in the spotlight, you have the focused attention of 14 well-connected professionals invested in your success. Members often use this time to workshop specific prospect challenges, refine their value proposition or create strategic plans for entering new markets – all with real-time feedback from experienced peers.

Most members spend two to three hours per month on Forum activities beyond the core meetings. This typically includes one or two one-on-one sessions with members from other groups and occasional follow-up with referral opportunities. The time investment is highly focused and designed to deliver measurable business results.

While consistent attendance is crucial for building strong relationships and maintaining group dynamics, we understand business obligations occasionally conflict. We ask members to notify group leaders in advance of any absences and encourage making up missed connections through additional one-on-one meetings when possible.

Successful Forum members share three key characteristics: They take a strategic approach to relationship building, they’re willing to actively support fellow members’ success and they’re committed to consistent participation. If you’re ready to move beyond transactional networking to build lasting, profitable business relationships, you’ll likely thrive in our community.

Getting started is straightforward. Submit your application through our website and we will review your professional background and industry to identify the most beneficial group placement. Once accepted, you’ll be invited to observe a meeting before making your final commitment. The quarterly investment of $130 begins once you officially join.

We occasionally welcome guests who might be valuable additions to other Forum groups. However, to maintain the trusted environment we’ve created, guest attendance must be arranged through your group leaders in advance.

Our one-on-one program connects you with members across all Forum groups, multiplying your networking reach. You’ll receive access to our member directory and can arrange meetings directly with other professionals. Many members find these focused conversations lead to some of their most valuable business relationships.
