About Us
How this happened
We originally formed the group because we enjoyed each others company and wanted to hang out more. We were all hungry to grow our businesses and realized we could create a group that made prospecting easier yet held each other accountable.
Sharing Best Practices
Most successful business owners will tell you they could not have accomplished their goals without help. Our core principles are that we help each other in not only finding new customers but also continue our learning to create a stronger practices. We believe in getting better day by day and surrounding ourselves with the best of the best.
Prospecting
Ultimately the goal is to build each others businesses through organic prospecting among the members. We are all meeting with professionals on a daily basis and we believe in building a core group of individuals that we trust and who are experts in their fields.
