Testimonials
“I was a member of Vistage for twenty-five years. During that time my company went from $8 million in sales per year to over $85 million per year. There is no question in my mind that my Vistage membership contributed to my success. I learned new ideas from the multitude of presentations I heard over the years, some of which I implemented in my company. But the main benefit I feel was the very close and personal interactions I had with my Chair and my fellow members. There were many times I felt like selling my business and running away, be it from personal situations like divorce or the death of a family member. Or, at other times I was at wit’s end from lawsuits, employee issues, cash flow, etc. Sharing my difficulties and success with people going through similar experiences in a highly confidential environment helps me cope and ultimately thrive. Also, coaching other members going through similar spells gave me great satisfaction. I believe I got my investment in Vistage membership back manyfold.”

“I also joined Vistage, an executive coaching organization after a few years in business, and gained invaluable insights and advice. Particularly my group chair Mike Malone has been an important mentor to me.”

“My time as a Vistage member has been great, particularly during these unprecedented times. It has been a pleasure being part of a high-functioning team of like-minded entrepreneurs. The input and feedback from everyone have been immeasurable.”

“For me, Vistage changed my life when I was a member. I became a better leader, a better husband/father, a better person in general. I learned the science of business, and even more important, the art of business. The ROI was infinite for me not only in dollars and cents but also in who I became. I joined Vistage when I had about 25 employees (1991). When I transitioned from member to a Chair after selling a portion of my stock, I had about 500 employees (2002). In today’s dollars, 500 employees translate to $150,000,000 in revenue for the type of business I built. But the math on ROI is not just the relationship between the cost of membership and my stock sale, because, without Vistage, there would not have been a stock sale. That is why my Core Messaging on Vistage is “Infinite ROI”.
