You are responsible for delivering services both to the collective group and to each participating organization.
-
Additionally, your participation is expected in networking sessions and pitch competitions designed to foster connections among the group of fifty.

WHY
SMALL BUSINESSES & NONPROFITS
JOIN
-
500 Commercial Members who use the same 100 products or services to run their operations, are paired with a “cluster” of companies that provides their specific “cluster” of services or products.
-
The PC Merchant System pays the companies (corporations) on-the-behalf of the group of 500 members based on each member’s pre-budgeted needs and spending habits.
-
PC Card Members will never give-up their “PC Slot/membership” (because it includes all of the services, products and resources that they need) and because-of the financial benefit that their organization receives from that slot/membership.
-
The 200 companies are also paying the organizations to remain in that slot.
-
The PC Success Team Members remain members as long they are providing an excellent product for the members and their company values remain in-line with the PC values.
