Frequently Asked Questions


What exactly does CEO Focus do?


CEO Focus is a peer group of company presidents and CEOs. In our group meetings, we work on business issues confronting our members. Groups meet once per month. Groups consist of 8-14 members from various industries and backgrounds. Although the benefits of group membership can be difficult to quantify, many members find benefits in:


  • Increased accountability

  • Business owners with similar backgrounds to bounce ideas off of

  • A strong support network

  • Access to professionals with complimentary strengths

  • Improved delegation skills

  • Higher quality of living

  • Increased profitability

  • Improved level of business expertise



What does a CEO Focus facilitator do?



Our program has two main components. The first is the one-to-one meetings. Each month the facilitator goes to the client’s business for a coaching/consulting session. These sessions have a coaching flavor rather than a “program.” The second component is the group meeting. Once a month the entire group convenes to discuss issues, best practices, and conduct an “informal board meeting” in a structured format. Your job is to help each CEO get the most out of themselves and their business through our process. You will be facilitating the group meetings and working with the clients individually at their one-to-ones.



How long have you been around?



CEO Focus was formed in 2003. However, we have been involved in CEO peer groups since 1994 through competitive organizations. The industry itself is has been around since 1957. There are CEO peer groups worldwide. This is a concept that works anywhere.



What do clients say about CEO Focus?



Sometimes it can be tricky to get a CEO to let their guard down to join. However, once they join, they STAY! Our average member stay is 2-4 years. Once CEOs are involved in the process, they love it.



'Ignorance is NOT bliss. We never knew how much we needed a group like this until we joined! The group and individual sessions add an extra dimension in our quest for balance in our professional and personal lives.”

 

'After joining the group I realized there was life outside work.'



'Membership inhibits my ability to procrastinate. The facilitator and the group hold me accountable.'



'CEO Focus is an excellent medium for sharing ideas and experiences associated with running ones' own business.'



'The Group has helped develop my skills as a CEO, and develop a broader picture of issues outside of my industry. The friendships that are also gained are even more valuable.'



What can I expect in regards to my income?



There are quite a few variables: how well you market, how hard you work, and how well you do the coaching. The bottom line is $100,000 is taking it pretty easy in our business. Hard-working coaches can make $175,000 - $250,000.



What can I expect in regards to my lifestyle?



The workload will definitely be heavy at the early stages. However, this is never a sixteen hour job. Ten hours is a very full day in our world. Once you get your groups going, eight hour days are the norm. Personally, I enjoy lunch with my wife and afternoon movies while the kids are in school. Our model not only allows frequent vacations, it allows guilt-free vacations. You can schedule vacations so the clients will never know you are gone. I do not take my cell phone on vacation.



Is there travel involved?



Yes and no. We operate in metro areas. Clients are almost always located within fifty miles of downtown. By grouping client meetings by geography, there is minimal driving. You will also sleep in your own bed every night.



I’ll bet there is a ton of cold calling or some nasty sales activity



There is NO cold calling. We have a full time telemarketing and marketing staff to assist you. You will not be required to do the nasty part of selling. However, you will be required to assist us in marketing efforts.  We use a seminar marketing approach.  We will bear the brunt of filling the room with prospects.  Ideal candidates will be able to assist in getting prospects to the seminars.



Is there a lot of supervision?



No. In essence, you are an independent business unit and will be treated accordingly.
