FAQ

What does FORUM cost?
‍Forum Lite is free (for a limited time) whereas FORUM is USD 495 quarterly and FORUM+ is USD 995 quarterly.
Are discounts available?
For international studios (based outside US/Canada/EU/APAC), discounts are available to help offset the strength of the US dollar. Also, annual membership discounts are available.
What is included in Forum Lite?
Lite includes the Member Community plus one Roundtable per quarter.
What is FORUM+
FORUM+ is for the ambitious leader seeking my personal advice via Biweekly Office Hours, Quarterly Review & Planning, plus Priority Feedback and Support.
If I join FORUM but don't renew, may I rejoin later?
Yes, but bear in mind FORUM/FORUM+ membership is capped at 100. Leaving will put you to the end of the waitlist. Since rejoining occurs when a current member leaves, your wait might be long.
‍Is there a studio rate which gives access to other members of my team?
Only individual subscriptions are currently available. We may offer other rates in the future, so we appreciate your feedback.
What have others experienced in terms of ROI?
"After learning the insights Joel shared in Derail the Pitch, I'm proud to say it had a huge impact. We have not lost one RFP since.” — Kelli Miller at And/Or

‍“Following Jumpstart, negotiating our very next project we were able to double our prices. Our return on investment (ROI) was immediate.” – Marc Colomines at Blit.Studio

"Our goal was to leave 6to7 with insights to help us solidify a formal internal process around new business development. For me, it was what we needed, at the right time.” – Erin Sarofsky at Sarofsky

‍“BIEN wouldn't be anywhere near where we are today if it weren't for this amazing, tight-knit community.” – Ricardo Roberts at BIEN
