FAQ

 

 

Q: There is no free lunch.  So why is the Strategic Small Business Network™ willing to help me with a Free Membership and no commitment?

 

A:   First of all, this is a pre-launch offering. We are making this offer for a very brief time. While there will always be a FREE offer because we believe in the Law of the harvest - sowing and reaping.  We are committed to our vision of building a new generation of strong, prosperous, personally balanced and mutually supportive small business owners and independent contractors. We believe in abundance and if we plant good seeds in your business and you succeed, ultimately your success will positively impact our network. 

 

Q: Beyond the FREE education components of membership, what will my investment be?

 

A:   During the pre-launch phase, you can expect fees for Preferred Network Vendors and Mentors when they are working directly with you on your business. In the case where group education is being provided, there will generally be no charge. Any time there is a group event; there will likely be a fee to participate.

 

Q:  There are promotions all over the web that indicate I can plug into their system and make lots of money quickly.  Is your system promoting a particular business?

 

A:  There are only a few things in life that happen quickly - miracles, disasters and bad decisions. We believe in fundamentals and most people inadvisably quickly jump into business opportunities without understanding the basics.  Our philosophy is that every business owner has a specific value proposition to the marketplace.  Our job is to help you know exactly what your value is and to help you learn how to profitably deliver it to your client.

 

Q:  I have been in business for a number of years, but don’t believe my business is as good as it can be.  How will this program be different from every other group offering advice?

 

A:  What is the agenda of most consulting groups?  The answer is to sell their service, which is not necessarily a bad thing.  However, in our experience, most ‘experts’ do not have the same long view of relationships and business we do.  The purpose of our FREE Member Program is to establish a long-term relationship with business owners who can come to depend on a team and sound business principles and do it in a way that is financially feasible for the market segment that needs it most, the small business owner.

 

Q:  How does the Strategic Consultant differ from a mentor or coach?

 

A.  Your strategic consultant will help you discover the most pressing needs at any given moment in time and then connect you with a mentor when it is appropriate. Our mentors are small business owners in our network who share the same philosophies and who can help you begin to think about a particular challenge or situation depending on the phase of business you are in. Frequently we will also refer you to world-class coaches in our Preferred Vendor Network to help you address the day-to-day tactical implementation of your business plan.
