Somehow I knew that would come up. Been there done that. I will keep this REALLY short and say that I am working on that, but expect it to take over a year just to get the membership. Things seem to be JUST a bit different down here, and Alliance membership isn't really easy to get, and even easier to lose.
You are quite right though, the program is great. It offers great resources (on a national level anyway).
However; as it is out of my reach, I have to seek other resources. And for those faced with the same dilema as myself (you have to have three clients who liked your work before you can get membership which is vital in getting the clients you need in order to get the membership so that you can get clients which will help you get the me
mbership you got because you had the clients because of the program which...I think you get the picture...)
Anyway, if anyone knows of any other resources out there, I would be grateful. I am not the best salesman in the world (I'm told that I'm too honest...gee, go figure) and have been having trouble marketing and finding contracts. I am really interested in the Alliance program (on a national level anyway), but can't get there without three referrals.
Besides, I'm sure that there are a lot of people that come here that would like to find consultants (they post all the time) and perhaps the Alliance Program isn't going to serve their needs either.
Thanks for the response so far though.
