Summit Group

The Summit Group is a comprehensive business resource for contractors. Members receive support and feedback from talented and experienced consulting associates on every aspect of their business. Additionally, members participate in peer-to-peer support and feedback networks that reinforce the learning environment through real-world "lessons learned."

"Why reinvent the wheel?" is a philosophy of almost every Summit member.

Members also become part of an executive financial forum, sharpening their money monitoring skills. Members learn how to prioritize projects by assessing their return on investment and gain a deeper understanding of how the implementation of proven business systems can positively affected their bottom line.

Each Summit member has a unique set of goals that is right for their organization. We help members build a business plan that is right for them - and then help them implement it. The achievement of their business goals represents the successful Summit experience. What's Your Summit?

DISC Behavioral Profiles for Hiring and Team Building

DISC is a behavioral model based on the work of William Moulton Marston Ph.D. (1893 - 1947) that examines the behavior of individuals in their environment or within a specific situation. DISC looks at behavioral styles and behavioral preferences.

The DISC profiles will help you build a more effective team by understanding the key behavior styles needed for each position in your company. Profile your current employees to better understand their strengths and challenges and use DISC reports to assess potential new hires.

Build a plan that focuses each person’s unique talents on successfully achieving what is most important for their role in the company.

Building Business Relationships through RQ™ Assessments

Measure the actual value of your professional business relationships through your Relational Quotient (RQ™).

This interactive program takes sales professionals step by step through the essential qualities of relational capital and how this intangible asset can be created, developed and used to establish a professional and ultimately respected advisor relationship with every business contact.

RQ allows you to measure objectively the level and strength of your most Important Business Relationships. The RQ assessment was scientifically formulated, using the experiences of hundreds of business professionals. The Relational Capital Group identified 35 common indicator behaviors that characterize different kinds of business relationships, and built the RQ algorithm around these. This design lets you see whether your key relationships are at Sales Person, Sales Professional or Respected Advisor level—and what strategies you can use to advance each relationship further.
