Why Exploriem.org is Important
Exploriem.org helps its members in all situations from startup to maturity in good times and in crisis too. We provide solutions to problems that may otherwise seem unfathomable through the plethora of knowledge that has accumulated through our member's experiences. Solutions save businesses from closing, providing our entrepreneurs with renewed optimism and help them grow faster.
Courses are conducted by Dr. Bruce Firestone, and other members. The courses range from how to build a great business model to executive fitness and health. More information on our courses may be found Courses
How Exploriem.org is Different from Other Business Organizations:
Explorim.org is unique because it allows direct interaction and crosstalk amongst members. Members' complimentary classifieds promote their businesses and member's biography postings in our biography section help members get to know each other better. Using Exploriem.org allows members to trade and sell to each other and make contact using the six degrees of separation with potential clients and customers and one on one email.
We conduct our Corporate Therapy Sessions on-line via instant messaging. This method is productive in a non-traditional way because:
1. The attendees do not have to leave their office too attend
2. They can be connected to our members in other countries saving expenses related to travel and conferencing, using IM is free
3. People generally put more thought into something that they write down therefore increasing the productivity of the session
4. Each member can save the verbatim transcripts of members so that they can refer back to it later during implementation.
We are different because our international community is connected via instant messaging. This provides the opportunity for cross talk and networking of entrepreneurs. Our organization provides guerilla marketing - get the business model right- support from our members.
We offer immediate solutions. We include in our membership, the discretionary ability to email the entire Exploriem.org community with a problem and receive immediate feedback that no one wants to wait for.
