A Different Kind of Association Experience...
#1. "In a world where associations do not usually allow a membership test-drive... we are different."
It's not the norm for associations to offer a money-back guarantee, but we do. We only want to keep members who feel that we've met or exceeded their expectations. In the spirit of goodwill, we allow you to test-drive the membership for 60 days. If for any reason you decide not to continue your membership within 60 days of joining, we'll refund 100% of your membership fee with no questions asked, and you won't need to return anything we've already sent out to you.
#2. "In an era where many associations charge a low annual membership fee and then charge you extra to have the other benefits... we are different."
GASPPO charges you one annual fee for the entitlement to receive all your membership privileges throughout the year. This enables you to budget accurately for the investment you make in yourself, your future and that of your practice by becoming a member. Unlike many other associations, we won't keep making you pay extra for every single time we provide the education, motivation, inspiration and resources you need to take your practice to the next level. You'll make one payment and enjoy all member privileges for an entire year with no hidden costs or nasty surprises. Any products and services we may introduce to members in addition to the member privileges are typically occasional offerings from our partners or one-off programs we create at the request of members.
#3. "In an industry where membership size and revenue targets seem to have higher priority than serving members... we are different."
We are protective of our members. We have guidelines that dictate which mentors and experts we put in front of you and what products and services we introduce to you. We do not get involved in the practice of bombarding our members with promotions that serve us at their expense. At GASPPO, one of the dictums we live by is "integrity before profits." In an effort to ensure that we do not associate with partners that we cannot trust to be of service or add value to our members, we have created GASPPO Watchlist and GASPPO Blacklist. The task of keeping and updating these records has been designated to someone in our team. That's how serious we are about protecting your interests. We also won't think twice about cancelling anyone's membership if they do not adhere to our membership principles, policies and conditions. This enables us to deliver on our promise to you of ensuring that certain standards are maintained when it comes to the kind of members we welcome.
#4. "In a world where a lot of companies and associations are inaccessible when you need to contact them... we are different."
These days, many companies and associations hide behind a web site. At GASPPO, customer service is not an afterthought. We have made every effort to ensure that you hear a live voice and not a voicemail message when you call our office. And, if you call during after-office hours, our call-center receptionists will be on stand-by to help. You can be assured that we will get back to you within 24-48 hours.
#5. "In an era where several associations attempt to be all things to all people... we are different."
We specialize in maximizing the potential of small professional practice owners and their practices. That means everything we do for our members is focused on helping them continuously grow and sustain a thriving small professional practice, and operate at peak performance level as leaders. Yes, our offerings would help every type of business. However, we have idiosyncratically tailored our offerings to meet the needs, wants, hopes and expectations of the owner of a small professional practice and their practice. We specifically only serve Founders, Presidents, Principals and CEOs who wholly or partly own the practice. Our services are designed particularly for owners, even though non-owner leaders of a practice may find a GASPPO membership invaluable. Owners bring a different kind of commitment level and passion to a practice, and therefore have certain requirements we provide. For our members, the benefit of our Founder-only environment is that they are networking with the highest-ranking decision-maker of the practice, and can therefore move things at a quicker pace when it comes to business deals, alliances and partnerships. It also means they can expect fellow members to be able to share experiences regarding the typical challenges faced by an owner of a small professional practice.
#6. "In an industry filled with hype, fluff and little value... we are different."
You'll find that most programs and associations only give you the "what" of the methods to implement. At GASPPO, we additionally give you the "how" in four ways:
· By providing you with educational resources that have a step-by-step implementation approach.
· By equipping you with 'in-the-trenches' advice from your peers, through our Mastermind & Referral Circle, which provides each member with 5-9 fellow members that serve as their advisory board.
· By empowering you with guidance and direction, through your one-on-one Action Strategy Session with one of our Resident Executive Coaches, and during our weekly Open Q&A and Laser Coaching Clinic.
· By enabling your practice to gain visibility, through our online calendar and members-only newsletter.
#7. "In a world where cutthroat marketing techniques and fierce competition seem traditional... we are different."
We believe that collaboration beats competition. Our soon-to-be-launched Alliance Network (you'll get a discount off your annual membership fee if you're already a member of one of the selected associations that we have an alliance with) is a perfect example of our philosophy about joining heads and hands to create a stronger force that produces results greater than what could be achieved by only one force. The Alliance Network makes it easier for our members to make the right choice when it comes to selecting memberships that match their values, interests, business style and philosophies. Instead of worrying about competition, our time is spent on making your membership experience worthwhile and ensuring that you get the best value, even if that means joining another association with a focus different from ours. We don't pretend to be all things to all people, so we advise you to join more than one association... because you'll get something different from each. From us, you'll make connections inside and outside your industry, and you'll benefit from business growth and personal development advice and resources. Other associations may serve as lobbyists for your profession or may only provide sector-related news -- your experience with other associations will depend on that association's focus in relation to your needs.
#8. "You can expect a different kind of association experience when you become a GASPPO member..."
We provide more than just information and serve as more than just a hub for networking. We are here to be your partner, vehicle and resource in your journey to continuously excel in business and in life. We handpick the experts and mentors we bring to you to ensure that you learn from the best. We have membership eligibility criteria to ensure that you network with only fellow practice owners at a certain business level. We celebrate our members and do not treat them like they are nothing more than a cash machine. We do not claim to be perfect, but we strive to be, and we promise to make every effort to rectify any unfavorable situations that may occur. We work in a results-focused environment because we know that our members should not be exposed to how long, how much or how hard we work to provide them with what they want. We are passionate about philanthropy and are transparent about the philanthropic organizations we choose to support. Have a look at our offerings, and you'll find that GASPPO is the only association of its kind that combines all of those member services and privileges under one roof. We look forward to serving you!
