Can I start my own Chapter?
Yes! Often times, a selected professional category may already be filled within your local chapter. Also, there will be times that ABRA has not yet reached a certain region. Individuals with the desire to start their own local chapter are encouraged to contact a Regional Director or the Corporate Office for the requirements on getting it started. We will provide all training and collateral materials necessary to ensure your success. In addition, we will assist with locating other Motivated Business Professionals to join your chapter.
Can I join more than one chapter?
Yes and No. Unfortunately, we cannot allow members to join more than one chapter within the same region. However, we also understand that there are those individuals who travel or share multiple territories as a necessity of their profession. Contact your Regional Director to distinguish whether or not you qualify to join a second or third chapter.
How soon will I see the rewards of joining ABRA?
ABRA is not a get-rich-overnight scheme. Although we do believe you’ll see the rewards quickly, we don’t promise or guarantee results. The success you find depends on YOU. Becoming a team player and passionately attempting to share leads with others will raise your chances in reciprocity. Some members have been known to have received only a handful of referrals in their first year, where others have received dozens in the first month. Be assured, we will do all we can to teach you how to improve your rate of receiving qualified leads!
I’m already a member of networking group, why ABRA?
We recognize there are other referral groups out there. We also recognize some of the major flaws within the other groups. ABRA has spent countless time improving upon those flaws, and helping to bring a balanced attention to the needs of Motivated Business Professionals. ABRA is dedicated to bringing quality, state of the art technology to our members. As we continue to grow, we’ll strive to make substantial improvements with both our technology and membership benefits and discounts. For a detailed list of why we at ABRA believe that you’ll benefit from joining our organization as well, please refer to the Pricing and Benefits page on our website. For even better insight, we encourage and welcome you to contact a member of ABRA to set up a time to sit in on ABRA Live as a guest.
How often does each chapter meet? Are there other events also?
Each chapter meets every other week. We call this meeting ABRA Live. The 90 minute meeting is generally held over breakfast from 7:00am-8:30am at a designated local venue. We highly encourage Power Partners within the chapter to meet on the off-week to strengthen their network and discuss the weekly Tip Topics provided through the Chapter Bulletins; however, this is not required. ABRA will have open mixers and regional events throughout the year. As a member, you’ll always be notified of such events.
