Advantages

4. Unique: Easy to join for all B2B businesses, no interviews or artificial barriers.
5. Unique: B2B only, no B2C
6. Values driven group – it’s not about the money
7. Additional benefits will be discussed at the organizational meeting

Requirements
The group will include members who:
1. Own a business

3. Set a target gross sales goal for 2010 that reflects significant strategic growth.

Target Group Size: About 6 members plus the facilitators to allow for focused meetings.

SMALL MONTHLY FEE (PAYABLE QUARTERLY) for participation if you choose to continue beyond the exploratory meeting. There are no other fees or charges for membership. Contact me for fee information at info@zuklloyd.com.

VERY IMPORTANT… PLEASE READ CAREFULLY…

WE MAKE NO PROMISE OF SUCCESS AND WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR BUSINESS DECISIONS. PARTICIPATION IN THIS GROUP DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL INCREASE SALES.

FAQs

1. Will this be a leads group?
NO.

2. Will this group allow me to present my services at the meetings?
NO, except for a brief introduction at the first few meetings until we get to know each other well.

3. Will I be required to make connections or introductions for other members of the group?
NO

4. Will this be a networking group?
NO, except that all groups are “networking groups” aren’t they?

5. Will I have to reveal any private financial data?
NO. We have no plans to require revealing personal or business data.

6. Will I have an exclusive membership with no competitors in the group?
YES.

7. Will I have to agree to a non-disclosure or non-compete commitment?
YES to both. What is said at our meetings will stay at our meetings.

8. Why are you being so secretive about the meeting information and “small” monthly fee?
There’s a secret society of one government new world order pseudo scientists and political wannabes who have sworn us to secrecy on these matters. But I can tell you that the information is emblazoned on the back of the American $5 bill in a secret code known only to highest order of Masons and Dixons. You can decipher the code by listening to the Beatles recording of “Dixie” backwards. That song is recorded on their Gray album, the one with the giant peach on the record label. We’re also concerned about spies from the neo-Changist movement in Taipei who are gathering information as we speak, which of course explains why it’s important to keep mum at the moment. Unless Mum complains in which case we can talk to her. Or you can receive the information by sending me an email at info@zuklloyd.com or call me at 630-393-6516.

9. Does participation in this group require a sense of humor?
See question 8.
