What's being said about BIG | Collab

FAQ

BIG | Collab is the division of BIG that fosters relational growth among likeminded individuals. This is where members who are striving to grow can connect with others who are in a similar stage of life and business. Each collab meets on a bi-weekly basis for a time to share and assist each other. The meetings are comprised of 4-9 BIG members and are conducted by a BIG facilitator. Our facilitators lead each meeting using a process specifically engineered to provide as much value as possible for every member.

BIG | Collab is different from other groups because we do things differently. First of all, we aren't a peer advisory group, a social club, or a referral networking group. There is value in all types of networking organizations. However, we are hyper-focused on fostering quality relationships among small groups of likeminded individuals. We believe in making sure individuals from all walks of life get a fair shot at success. Our team, started by four go-getters in 2023, brings together a unique mix of talents. This means we offer a variety of perspectives and solutions you likely won't find elsewhere. Joining BIG | Collab isn't just for the big earners. It's for everyone who's passionate about their business, no matter their size. With that being said, we keep things affordable. It's not just about meetings and advice; we're building a community where professionals can really connect and grow. At BIG | Collab, we're more than just a group; we're a partnership for growth. We ensure everyone has the chance to build the right relationships, with others who can help them navigate the business world with confidence.

No. Our relationship-based collab is a complement to referral networking organizations, and not a replacement to them. The objective is focused heavily on helping members build their businesses through collaborative relationship-based feedback provided by fellow members. The focus is not on passing referrals or keeping each other accountable for referrals passed and received. Ideally, business professionals will join both a relationship-based collab and a referral networking organization.

We use a tiered pricing model. The annual dues are $1,188. However, once an application has been submitted and approved, the member has 90 days to make payment for the year. If payment is made up front, in the first month (days 1-30) of joining, the member will receive a 20% discount for the first year. The adjusted annual cost is only $951 for the year. If the member processes payment for their membership in the second month (days 31-60), after joining, they will receive a 10% discount. This equates to $1,069.20 for the first year of membership. If membership dues are processed in days 61-75 of joining, the first year membership will be discounted to by 5%, make the total cost only $1,128.60. The discounts are applied only to the first year of membership and this special offer only applies to those who join by December 31, 2024. After the first year of membership, dues are adjusted to align with the budget for a business that invests 2% in professional development. Additional details can be requested by filling out the contact form on this website, or can be viewed at a later date, once added to our website. If payment is made by debit or credit a processing fee will be included with the payment. There are no processing fees for payments made by check.

Yes. Membership can be cancelled at anytime.

While application fees are not refunded, the dues for the first year of membership can be refunded as long as the refund as requested within the first 90 days after joining BIG | Collab. After the 90th day of membership there is no refund. However, if a member wishes to discontinue with BIG | Collab, we will keep a credit on their account for the remainder of the year. Upon rejoining, the member can continue from where they left off, using the previously unused credit.

Yes. A member can join multiple collabs. There are a variety of reasons someone would choose to do so. For example, a member may want to join a collab with individuals who are all in the same profession, as a way to further their skills with others who share the same line of work. The same member may also wish to be in a collab comprised of members in the same industry, but not necessarily in the same profession. This can provide them a better understanding of how best to help their ideal buyers navigate industry specific challenges. And finally, the same member may also choose to join a collab focused on industries that differ from their own. This can help the member grow by viewing their own career through the lens of those who have a very different perspective and experience, as it relates to business. Additionally, their is a discount applied to members who join more than one collab. For more information on multiple collab discounts, please connect with us in person or via the contact form on this website.
