“When another CEO was discussing his bank line of credit, I discovered that I was paying 75 basis points more than the lowest rates (3/4 of 1% per year). The other CEOs gave me the names of their bankers who lend to our sector and offered to make introductions. When I went back to my bank and said I was going to be leaving and why — my local bank cut my interest rate by a whole point to retain my business. This was worth over $300,000 per year — over $2 million during the life of the loan.”
“I was discussing with my group how my employee health insurance costs were going to increase over 20% for the next year. I discovered that I was already paying over 50% more per employee than some of my peers. Two of the other members described their captive insurance programs and the benefits/savings with their approach. I ended up moving to a captive insurance model too and am saving 30% — which is over $500,0000 per year.”

“When I got promoted to the CEO job, I was weak on financial metrics (I had been the SVP of Sales). I explained to the group that my company had a profit issue — was losing over $100,000 per month — and that if I couldn’t reverse the trend by growing sales, my company would hit the wall and go bankrupt within 6 months. The group diagnosed my real problem — which was a bloated executive team payroll. - and they encouraged me to cut out the dead wood and lower performing executives quickly. I did that — eliminated over $200,000 per month in payroll within 3 months — and has been profitable and growing ever since. My CEN group saved my company.”

CEO, Novanex
"Probably the biggest bottom line impact was a session that drove a more aggressive pricing strategy. We are more aggressive today around pricing our services due to that session alone. I’m confident that has impacted our profits by well over $100,000 by itself."
Rick McClain
CEO, Milwaukee Electronics
"During an Ex-Officio Meeting in 2011, I was given advice by 5 other CEOs in the room, all German nationals. We were contemplating an acquisition of a competitor in Germany, and the advice I received that day allowed me to close on a very successful acquisition. With Germany as our new European base, we were able to grow our international sales from 5% of total sales to more than 50% in just 6 years!"

CEO, Will-Burt
"My Chief Executive Network membership has helped me achieve:
- Year over year growth in excess of 20%
- A 15%+ increase in Inventory Turns due to support and insights I received implementing a new ERP System
- A strong bench of 'A' players due to the encouragement and insights provided by the Ex-Officio Board meetings"

CEO, Centracore
“I would estimate my group’s input on our ERP challenge saved us over 3 months of time so far and $50K in expenses. I was able to streamline the process using others experience on what worked and what did not. I also used my group’s suggestions on how to manage the change management piece of this project.”
