"You get it. You don't follow the mold but I'll say it this way: you treat us like a business who can learn from better organizations, not just chambers."

Jim K. Johnson

"Kyle helped our Chamber create the basis for our tiered dues system. His knowledge of how to put the system in place and implement it was invaluable. We learned from his experience and put together a tiered dues system that works for our members. We have been successful in converting nearly 90% of our membership over the past 2 years. Without Kyle's guidance, I do not think we would have been as successful. Thanks Kyle!"

Over the years, I have found his teachings and programs a great asset for both my personal and Chamber's growth."

"I had Kyle as a faculty member at Institute, and I walked away with two big things to bring to my board: 1. Why we had to pump the breaks on switching to tiered membership and 2. A road map for how to do it. I knew we were rushing it, but Kyle's training more explicitly got to the why and how."

Cecilia Harry, CEcD

"Kyle continues to reinforce my growth as a leader. He encourages me to step out of my comfort zone and explore new ideas for my community and chamber. He helped me to see that I am the expert in Chamber in my community, and to be confident in my voice and knowledge as the Chamber President.

"Kyle Sexton assisted us with our Member Tier roll-out several years ago. Since then, Kyle has been regularly coaching and mentoring me and the other members of our staff. Kyle's vast array of knowledge, experience and broad base reach across chambers and association, provide us with expertise, best practices and time tested measures for chamber success. Kyle's input to our decision making is important to almost every aspect of developing new chamber initiatives or improving our performance through the implementation of proven best practices."

Robert S. Carl, Jr., President and CEO

Becky Wolfe

"Love the membership resources-- use it as an orientation for our membership sales team on chamber membership sales."

"Kyle carries a wealth of knowledge on how relevant Chambers of Commerce are delivering value to their investors. By applying Kyle's market-tested and verified communication and activation strategies, we have turned around sagging membership numbers and heightened our engagement levels within our membership. For good reason, Kyle is recognized as the premier development consultant for Chambers of Commerce. Without his handiwork, we would be idling at the starting line."

Tom Hoffert

"We did not use you for training and coaching but you definitely used coaching tactics throughout the time we spent with you. The Board Retreat that lead for our organization was training of sorts. Your presentation was clear, engaging and insightful. Furthermore, you know how to work with the different personalities that you see on Board of Directors."

Ginger Berkelhamer

"The Map to Remembership is a frequent jumping off point for our conversations with the Board."
