How often to the Forums meet?  How long are the meetings?

Groups meet every other month, usually from 7:30 AM to 11:30 AM.  We will obviously carefully schedule the meetings around end-of-quarter issues, etc.

How will the groups be set up?

Groups will be industry focused.  So, tech companies will be grouped together, bio-tech companies together, etc.  We will also try to group by like-sized companies.

Where will we meet?

Each member will be asked to host a meeting on a regular basis.  So, if there are eight members in a Forum then they will host one meeting every other year or so.

What is my commitment?

By joining the Forum you commit your time, energy and your brain-power.  Attendance at these meetings is mandatory.  To be excused you will have to petition your fellow CSOs for permission.   These are not to be taken lightly.

Your first meeting is on a trial basis.  The group will vote on whether to admit you and you will have the opportunity to interact with the other members, pose questions and test the waters for yourself.

What about confidentiality?

Because members share highly confidential information, you will be asked to sign a confidentiality agreement.  But, of course the purpose is to share insights, ideas and best practices so applying these concepts to your business is expected. 

I am not a chief sales officer, am I allowed to be a member?

If you are responsible for the sales number for your company, then you are eligible.  We have division presidents and sales directors as members.  Title is not important, results are.

How much do these Forums cost?

The cost to be a Forum member is $6,000 annually.  Because we are looking for committed CSOs we require an initial six month commitment.
