“We appreciate the hospitality of you and your team that was extended throughout the POI Spring 2015 Summit. We were able to connect with some key individuals during the event and had a very open dialog about topics that are very important to us, which makes the investment of time worthwhile. Thanks again, we look forward to seeing you at the Fall Summit.”
POI has been immensely beneficial to us. From the share-groups, to the summits, to 1:1 conversations with you and Sarah, we’ve gained so much insight into best practices and strategic direction for our new RGM team. When we’re faced with a difficult decision like vendor selection/implementation or when we are unsure of best practice like RGM benchmarks for KPIs, our first thought is POI will be able to help us! What we’ve gained from being a part of this group is worth significantly more than the investment.
In terms of reasons why to be in person for the summits, here’s what comes to mind:
-Between meetings and after meeting conversations to network and ask questions of others in the industry
-More attentive audiences and better flowing conversations within the room
-The ability to put a name and a face together
-Opportunities to have fun at the happy hours/events later in the evening and make friendships
