How did Forum change on April 1, 2024?
On April 1, 2024 we are rolled out big improvements – Derail the Pitch, Resident Experts, Studios United, and more – as well as shifted to a supporter model.
What is the cost?
Forum Lite is free, Forum is $495 quarterly, and Forum+ is $995 quarterly.
(Forum is included with my 1:1 Engagements.)
Are discounts available?
For international studios (based outside the US/Canada/EU/APAC), a discount is available to help offset the strength of the US dollar. Email my VA Brit and ask her for your coupon.
What is included in Forum Lite?
Lite includes only the main Discussion space plus one Roundtable of your choosing per quarter.
What is Forum+?
Forum+ is for the ambitious studio seeking my personal advice: Biweekly Office Hours, Quarterly 1:1 Review & Planning, plus Priority Feedback and Support.
If I don’t subscribe now, can I rejoin later?
Yes, but bear in mind membership is now capped at 100. Since we are at capacity, leaving will send you to the end of the waitlist. Rejoining occurs when a current member leaves, therefore the wait might be long (as of March 13 there are 162 people on the waitlist).
You once ran a free community, why switch Forum to paid?
We’re building much more than a mere chat space run by consultants. As a former founder myself, I am determined to lead this elite network where you and your peers thrive, and that requires investment.Unlike my former community where almost everyone was free (but a small group of you paid high fees), Forum is different. Here I envision everyone making a small contribution which adds up to big benefits for all.
What have others experienced in terms of ROI (return on investment)?“
After learning the insights Joel shared in Derail the Pitch, we rethought our approach to RFPs. I'm proud to say it had a huge impact. We have not lost one RFP since we made these changes.” — 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
Is there a studio rate which provides access to multiple members of my team?
Only individual subscriptions are available now. We may offer other rates in the future so we appreciate your feedback and suggestions.
My studio has been around a long time, I’m not sure I need this. Why should I join?
Remember long ago how you would have given anything to gain access to someone with all the knowledge you possess today? Forum is your opportunity to be that someone, explore powerful collaborations, as well as leave a legacy of strengthening our industry.
What if I no longer run my studio or production company?
Once a founder, always a founder. If you have ever been an owner or partner at an independent creative company, you qualify. Also, we occasionally invite influential persons in our industry to join. If that’s you, please inquire.
