Membership Success Clubs
Member Success Clubs are an assembly of non-competing retailers or distributors. Participants gather regularly to improve their operational performance by exchanging ideas, best practices and information.
- Clubs are established as self-governing entities, organized according to the nature and complexity of operations of the participants.
- Meetings are professionally facilitated by a moderator experienced in the industry.
- Comparative reports, complied from data contributed by each club member, are produced quarterly.
- Benchmarks are established for key financial and service quality drivers, allowing participants to track their performance against industry standards and against the performance of others in the club.
The Best Practices Come From Those Who Perform Them Every Day.
