What benefits have you received from the Intranet File Library?
"The File Library may include some of the greatest intellectual capital (as in CFO-type-content) in the industry. I would say we're the 'Thomson PPC' of CFO content on the web. You cannot put a price on this information."
Mark Gandy
"It has already saved me countless hours of research because many of the questions I receive from clients have already been answered by the partners. We have numerous tools for marketing, successful written proposals, HR and financial to name a few."
Johnny C. Gates

Robert J. Kostrinsky

John M. Blackstock
"There are a number of articles and a lot of information that others have contributed to the File Library, so that we don't all have to start from scratch."
Paul Shackford
"Much like the Forum, it provides a knowledge base that gives us a reason for being part of the group and an edge over (at least) local based competition."
Mike Maples
"The resources available for review have given me the confidence that any question asked can be answered in a timely manner."

Glenn A. Wiltgen

Rick A. Daigle
"The amount of information in the File Library is phenomenal. Just about everything a partner needs to be successful is right there. From the successful Phase I proposals to the marketing and consulting tools, it is a great comfort to know that I do not have to 'reinvent the wheel' as I build my business."
Kevin Campbell
"I think now that we have dedicated a full time resource (thanks Mark Gandy) to this area, I use it frequently and I think this knowledge base will continue to expand and become a major asset and selling point for the Firm."
Grant Brisacher
"I use it regularly to research issues that come up with potential clients and clients before using the Forum."
Rick Arthur
"I am constantly looking up what other partners have created. I have gotten some great excel spreadsheets and good marketing tools."
Linda J. Donegan
"I especially like the Phase I's. I don't have the breadth of CFO experience that many of our partners have. The Phase I's help remind me of things I should be looking for up front, instead of just stumbling across them if/when I get on board. But like the Forums, the File Library in total has improved with age."
Scott Reynolds
"Very Helpful for finding templates and best practices."
Alan Campbell
"I have often referred to the File Library to review topics that I noticed as they were being originally posted. However, at the time of posting, it wasn't a hot button for any of my clients. When a topic became an issue for a client, I have remembered that there was some discussion regarding it, and have been able to go back and review all the postings. Also, especially in the beginning, I used it frequently to find samples of Phase I's similar to the company I was presenting to. Very useful. This is probably the tool I use most."
Barbara S. Floyd
"Useful marketing presentations benefit from seeing other partner solutions and checklists, helps in composing Phase I's. I look forward to sharing our tools and building knowledgebase."
Keith A. Simmons
"Constant wealth of knowledge and feedback. I am constantly impressed by the breadth and depth of our partners' experiences."
Terry J. Eve
"The File Library is great. I can see what the other partners have done for Phase I proposals. We are now expanding it to include best practices, selling tools, etc which has been a great help."
Sheri Pawlik
"The File Library is a great resource and usually the first place I look to when I'm looking for more information on how we present and market ourselves."
William C. Fritz
"The File Library is a very useful resource to allow a partner to leverage the work already done by a B2B CFO® partner saving time and allowing us to turn around deliverables faster than any competitor could do. A very powerful asset."
Gary Reinert
"I have accessed the File Library on numerous occasions to help me with presentations, newsletters, job descriptions, etc.. I go there first to see what's available before I start doing something myself. It's very helpful."
Donald C. Lightbody
"I use the File Library repeatedly as my primary source of information for marketing, consulting and reporting purposes."
Richard A. Foster
"Fastest way to help solve client problems by not re-inventing the wheel."
John O. Lychos Jr.
"I like the idea of a central depository for forms and information used in the partnership. I find it very helpful as it allows me to access needed documents regardless of my location without trying to keep my own copies on hand."
Duane Hopkins
"The File Library has been helpful by providing templates so that I am not reinventing the wheel each time a client or potential client has a challenge. It is very beneficial and a great time saver."
