General IDEA Club Questions

+ Why shouldn't I just join my Chamber of Commerce?

Actually, The IDEA Club, Inc. believes that you should be a member of both your Chamber and The IDEA Club. Your Chamber of Commerce is good for your business and your community. The difference between a Chamber and The IDEA Club is exclusivity. You are the Industry Expert for your business category thus eliminating the competition within the group. Chambers, by their very nature, exist by being inclusive.

+ What really makes The IDEA Club work?

You do! The IDEA Club teaches you how to network smarter and gives you the structure from which to grow - it's the club, as a whole, that fuels the success of each member. Rather than just selling on your own, you have a sales force of professional business people bringing you qualified referrals. Remember, referrals are made based on trust and solid relationships. That's why it's important to attend meetings and build those relationships so they get to know you, just as you'll get to know them.

+ How soon will I see a financial reward?

The IDEA Club is not a get rich fast scheme. It takes time to earn the trust of your fellow members, to become adept in the networking arena, and to learn how to promote yourself and your business with ease. If you expect an instant reward, then The IDEA Club is not for you. If you want to build long-standing business relationships that will earn you qualified referrals for years to come, then we're the right fit for you.

+ What does The IDEA Club expect of me?

The IDEA Club expects you to attend weekly meetings to build relationships. The IDEA Club expects you to pass, on average, one qualified referral every week. The IDEA Club expects you to be ethical, professional, and experienced in your line of work. The IDEA Club expects you to help all of the members be successful and they are expted to do the same for you.
