We recently asked ourselves "What would we want to know if we had to find new groups?"

How many quality leads are passed each month?

Every member receives on average one or two quality leads each week.

How do you measure the quality of leads?

We track every lead - who passed it, who received it, when it was passed, when it was closed and the commission generated.

How long until a new member can expect to receive tips/referrals?

Anyone from immediately to a few months. Our group is about relationships (trust) and training each other.

Are members restricted from being part of other groups?

No, we understand the need to be part of a couple groups but being part of too many groups is a flag that a) you likely won't have enough tips to spread among the 3+ groups and b) you are busy networking and not busy closing deals.

Are members happy with the group?

In addition to the success tracked financially, we all enjoy each other's company and various styles of humor. Business needs an element of fun.

How structured is the group?

Our group spun off from a formal organization. We don't financially penalize members. Our only requirement is attendance-related.

How long has the group been together?

Tempe Tippers started in spring of 2004 and tracked over $500,000 in referral commissions.

How experienced are the members of the group?

The average Tempe Tipper industry experience is 9.5 years. The mode (in statistics the most frequent occurrence) is 5.5 years of industry experience.

What percentage of each member's business comes from the group?

Tempe Tipper's goal has been to provide a minimum of 10% of a member's business, a goal which most of us hit or exceed.

Is the group more focused on families/homes or businesses?

Tempe Tippers is slightly tilted towards families/homes but our goal is to be 50/50 mix of each.
