One Stop -- Let Us Find Your Best Earning Opportunity.

General pitch

Hi [Group Member],

Things are changing and I'd like to share a quick tip with you that our alumni are finding crucial for success. There are SO many choices with career service carriers (and many are bad)!

So We Vetted 70+ Career Service Carriers in Our Region

You can now get the best carrier, with the best offers, and the best track record for your situation. We've already vetted the top 70. From that point we can help you narrow down further based on your business.

Group Purchasing Power Means LOW COST

Our group buying power allows for competitive pricing when compared to going carrier-direct. One partner in our network achieved 5 times the value for the same pricing offered by their previous carrier.

But Strategy is the Glue. And We Already Know Your Situation From the Inside

Most carriers or cable companies want to sell you their solution and some will sell you promises they can't keep... costing you money and time, up front, for the next years.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a seasoned team who helps to create your strategy, choose from the 70 best vendors, and manage the implementation? We'll also handle your escalations if there are any problems.

You Get a Free Strategic Data and Analysis

Call us today and we'll give you a custom Strategic Network Analysis. You'll want to make sure your multiple locations, resource-hungry applications, and IT infrastructure all run quickly and securely. Call or email us to set-up a 1 hour analysis. My team and I will help you begin to budget and plan your network services blueprint for the next 3-5 years.

Reach us at 703... or info@friendsofcnm.org

Even if you don't work with us, make sure you plan your IT strategy around your contract expiration date. We're finding it to be more and more important for IT departments.

Sincerely, Gary Jay & Your CNM Council for Career Services Team

P.S. [Group Member], if you feel like I've wasted your time on this strategy call, I'll personally write you a check for $100. I guarantee it will be the most useful call you've had in weeks. Call us at 703... or reply to this email.

Financing

It's time to learn your financing options for Careerprise services

One constraint that is often overlooked until it's too late is the amount of budget allocated for career solutions. Good news -- flexible financing can be a powerful way to acquire, migrate, build, and scale Careerprise solutions -- while lowering up-front costs, improving cash flow, and boosting return on investment.

Join this webinar on [date] at [time] to learn how Friends Of CNM offer financing options for Careerprise services such as interest rates as low as 0 percent, payment deferrals for up to 90 days, customized payment plans, asset buy-backs, comprehensive project financing, and grants. In the webinar we will cover:

• How financing can help you manage budgets, conserve cash, reduce uncertainty and achieve financial goals
• What options for financing are available to you
• How to get more information to start benefitting from financing your Careerprise solutions

Development

The idea is to launch an entity, which would source, onboard, and sell various career services such as career administration, education, etc. Its development occurred under two projects -- CNM Cloud Project and WorldOpp Project.

Roadmap

1. Create a good contract with vendors -- PMP providers, career coaches, universities, and so on.
2. Create a good commercial proposal to possible vendors, stressing out the non-profit nature of the endeavor and our significant work in preparation, mentoring, and so on, and stressing our interest in their discounts.
3. Create the list of desired vendors -- with regard to PMP, Dr. Ali and pmtraining.com shall be there.
4. Start slowly distributing our offer, while trying with those with whom we already landed mutual understanding of benefits of collaboration.
5. Create the website at https://friendsofcnm.com -- Mercedes would suggest what should be on the websites and Gary implements. Both of them will have admin accesses. The website will also be linked to a bigger platform, which will be used for training, demonstrations, and skill-based volunteering. Later, the platform will include (a) video-hosting, (b) email, (c) videoconferencing. Currently, it includes:
   • ERP, which includes e-commerce, CRM, document management, etc.
   • Campus at https://friendsofcnm.net
   • My lovely wiki at https://friendsofcnm.org
6. Post vendors' offers in the store.
7. Re-develop our offer and distribute it to a larger number of potential vendors.
8. Launch quick overviews of the hottest items on our list -- online + onsite.
9. Launch regular meetings (you online + me onsite) like "Getting started with Friends Of CNM". Our pitch will be a match between people's needs and vendors' services plus a bulk of free services such as online training, career coaching, mentorship, and, most of all, in-take.
10. Help people and contribute to a better world.
