PGIB has 4 sides to the organization.
- One side is non-partisan and political where we like the Chamber of Commerce and other organizations lobby government. We believe in less government, lower taxes and political accountability. See http://pgib.ca/lobbying/index.shtml for more information.
- Another is our Business Network Referral Clubs where we allow one person per industry per chapter. What makes PGIB Business Clubsunique is the accountability. We actually track every lead to insure business. We have an organizational Review every 8 weeks to find out who is getting business and who is not and analyze each lead, if you are not getting business it is dealt with promptly! No other organization has this type of accountability. These meetings are about relationship building and they work! For more information see http://pgib.ca/clubs/index.htm
- We also offer our members many benefits from Visa & Mastercard Merchants rates of 1.66% to Home & Car insurance discounts and more see http://pgib.ca/benefits/index.htm for more information.
- We also have the Right Pages to give greater exposure see www.rightpages.ca for more information.
