Will the future be the time we'll wish we were making better decisions today - or the time we will look back and see that one important decision changed everything? It's up to each of us to decide, we can not hold anyone else accountable for the results of the decisions we do not make.

Historically better decisions come from collaboration - testing our assumptions among a small group of people whose opinions we respect.

The most effective process for consistently making better decisions is when a that group of participants meets regularly - over the phone, using a systematic process we call Strategic Conversations.

Practical, strategic applications of the process

Collaboration = Greater Productivity. None of us have the time, money, or energy to figure out what works - by making every decision ourselves. We were able to absorb mistakes we made in the past, or we wouldn't be around anymore. Today however, seemingly simple mistakes can absorb the entire business. In your mastermind group you will be able to:

• Learn what is working, and why, from the experiences of your peers.
• Understand how you can approach things more effectively, based on their results.
• Brainstorm to see how what's working can be modified to make it even better - before you attempt it.

Extend Planning and Learning - Forever. Most of us are consumed by the day to day requirements of the roles we play. While such things as leadership development, management training, and strategic planning are important - they often take a back seat to what must be done right now. Businesses like yours annually invest in consultants and trainers to do what you can't do - focus your organization on the future. The peer-2-peer mastermind process allows you to leverage every dollar your invest in training, seminars, consultants etc.

• By providing a platform to continue the lessons learned w/o being tied to the expert forever.
• By enhancing your capacity for integrating these strategies on your own - without additional outsiders.
• By teaching you how to be a more savvy consumer of professional advice and training - based on the experiences of your peers.

Gross is Not Net. Successful business owners know exactly what percentage of every sale actually reaches the company's bottom line. They know that making more sales is not the answer, unless each one contributes to that bottom line. They have seen companies in their industry with fewer sales actually have better bottom line results. A peer group provides a framework for honest open discussion around issues they should be considering if they want better results:

• Learn how to reduce costs across every area of your business, based on your access to industry leaders.
• Have your assumptions tested, your brilliant ideas challenged - while they are still in the planning stage.
• Implement competitive analysis with Strategic Conversations groups in all departments, learn what your industry's leaders are doing on the loading dock, shipping department, collections, customer service and beyond.

As professional mediators, coaches, consultants, and facilitators of business to business peer groups - we realized that that vast majority of you would rather go it alone, without us and the cost of our services, if they just knew how.

They said over and over again that all they needed was a road map - a blueprint to follow.

It occurred to us that if we created a free, delivered via video and distributed by email - step be step by step process for organizing, setting up, and maintaining a Strategic Conversations process, thousands of you would take advantage of it.

This is your chance to make a decision that could dramatically impact your future results.
