Some called it the “put up or shut up” resolution. All members of Contractors 2000 — an organization formed to elevate members to high performance in sales, profits and customer satisfaction — had been basking in a unique selling proposition that labels the group “Simply The Best.”
But financial reports show that not every member lives up to the billing. Many continue to operate at what C-2000 regards as a minor league level. Under-performers force the organization to direct too many resources at remedial business assistance at the expense of developing more sophisticated management tools. So they asked members to approve mandatory minimum performance standards as a condition of membership, and they did.
