Why join a Trust X Alliance mastermind group
Ingram Micro’s
Trust X Alliance serves all sizes of IT partners, whether their business revolves around:
- Hardware
- Being a VAR (value-added reseller)
- Being an MSP
Being a member of the
Trust X Alliance gives partners the opportunity to join mastermind peer groups as well. Linda explains that Mastermind groups are made up of businesses with similar business models.
The Ingram Micro partners that are part of your mastermind group have comparable pain points and goals. Mastermind group members benefit from many components including:
- Gaining a better understanding of the pitfalls and opportunities of their market
- Receiving peer advice on how to grow their business
- Helpful in-person meetings every four months and monthly calls
- Honest and expert tips on financials
"Everyone's different in their own little markets, but the underlying pain points are all the same." — Linda Weller
Community for IT entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurship can be a lonely road at times. It’s always nice to know there’s a community of people out there who know what you’re going through.
Moreover, a community of entrepreneurs in your particular industry can provide a lot of valuable insight that you may never have thought of.
Linda describes her mastermind group as a family of IT professionals who earnestly want to help each other grow. Becoming a member of a Trust X Alliance mastermind group will allow you to better serve your business, your customers and your community.
Mastermind peers cultivate innovation and industry insight every time they meet. In the end, it’s the customer who benefits from the
visionary leadership fostered within each mastermind group.
