"Yes. Potential clients are quite amazed when I have been able to give answers based upon the experience of multiple partners faster than their outside CPAs. It is a great selling tool."

Alexander J. Bacon, Jr.

"Yes, I have used the Forum extensively to communicate with partners and it is one of the most important benefits of the partnership. When I have a question about business, software, taxes, accounting, marketing, an industry I am trying to get business in, etc. there are experienced partners ready to help and I can get the answers almost immediately."

Rick Perrin

"Many times over. If I don't have a particular expertise in an area the ability to tap into the collective knowledge of the partners has been a significant boon to me and my clients. Even if I don't have a question or answer, monitoring the communications among the partners gives me continued information and learning about my chosen career."

Albert Christensen

"When I don't know or am not sure of an answer to a client's question, a Forum query is responded to quickly with multiple, helpful and authoritative answers from many partners. There is no subject that the collective group doesn't know a lot about!"

Dennis Niven

"Yes! I think the Forum is useful for support, networking, a sales tool, and of course valuable and timely exchange of relevant information. I read almost every posting and response even if it doesn't apply to what I'm doing at the time; information is precious."

Robert J. Kostrinsky

"Yes, probably one the greatest benefits of joining B2B CFO^®. This is a true 'Break Through' competitive advantage."

Glenna K. Mileson

"The Forum is not only valuable for their content, but as a marketing tool to potential clients, when describing the knowledge-share available to each partner."

"The Forum is an excellent communication tool for seeking the advice and wisdom of the other partners. I discuss this with potential clients as a real benefit for hiring me."

Rick Arthur

"The Forum is terrific. We've automated the postings so I receive an email each time there is a posting. I read them all and have learned a tremendous amount doing so, regardless if the issue relates to my client work at that moment. I've had several needs to refer to the Forum for information prior to meeting a potential client or networking meeting and as a result felt much more prepared."

Donald C. Lightbody

"Yes. Every week there is at least one relevant topic. It's helpful to be able to research topics later as well."

Terry J. Eve

"The Forum is helpful in understanding industries outside my area of expertise. I benefit from other's experience. I am able to consider new solutions to repetitive issues. It increases my value within the local network when I can refer their services in response to a partner request for support and it builds psychological reciprocity in contacts."

Keith A. Simmons

"I have successfully used the Forum to obtain information from partners about various business industries that I have insufficient background. This has been a selling point in marketing!"

Richard A. Foster

"The Forum is a great way to communicate with partners to gain insight and knowledge that can be found nowhere else."

Craig Johnson

David C. Kirkup

"Definitely, Forums is a great way to stay connected with your fellow partners.

William C. Fritz

"The Forum is a great tool to get help, advice, and guidance from other partners. Partners respond quickly with very beneficial information."

Elizabeth J. Stoller

"Yes it is very informative because while we are all experienced we can't know everything as an individual, so it is a good place to share our wealth of knowledge."

Grant Brisacher

"Yes - a lot. I've received specific useful advice for myself and my clients."

Joseph C. Worth, III

Randall Gerloff

"Certainly, in a couple of ways. It's an excellent way to tap into the strength of our partnership and to share knowledge we have to help the partnership. Plus, if you are active in responding partners will remember and seek you out at our annual meeting to personally thank you."

Rick A. Daigle

"The main reason I joined B2B CFO^® was to (hopefully) tap into a lot of good expertise. The growth of the partnership and the depth of experience within have grown exponentially. The Forum has become invaluable because of that. I can't imagine any possible question that couldn't get posted and adequately answered."

Scott Reynolds

"Absolutely. This may be the single most important feature (of B2B CFO^®)."

"Yes. It is probably the best tool that B2B CFO^® (partners) have when dealing with technical issues."

Shane A. Campbell

"Yes - I have learned a great deal from the partners via the Forum communication."

Sheri A. Pawlik

"It is a wonderful resource."

Steven D. Olson

"I believe the Forum has been useful in two areas: the first is the ease of communicating with all of the partners. A current example is I needed to find someone to help a client with a payroll liability problem with the IRS. Tom Menik steered me to an individual in California. Although the issue remains open, I would've never found this person without the Forum. I enjoy reading the Forum postings as an educational tool. Reading how partners respond to queries allows me to compare my knowledge to others in partnership."

Stephen H. Sundberg

"Yes, very much. It helps you locate expert, validated advice that would be difficult to obtain elsewhere."

Timothy S. McLellan

"Using the Forums has been helpful when I've had a question - I also get a kick out of being able to help my partners."

Wayne R. Lorgus

"I have found the Forum is a great place to get information on issues I am not familiar with. As the partnership has grown the value of this tool has increased. It is an education just to follow some of the questions and answers even if you do not have a current situation to apply them to."

Duane Hopkins

"I have benefitted from the topics and responses that have flowed through the Forum."

Stuart W. Welsh

"The partner Forum is a great facility for seeking support - I have successfully used it for guidance in an industry, and route to market, not personally experienced."
