What
is the
STEWART
GROUP TOO?
SGA TOO is a mid
management level, virtual, networking group.
The network serves as a "conduit" between executives
and private equity groups, search professionals,
consultants, and hiring authorities. The networking
group is committed to sharing job leads, career
information, and referrals that are related to job
search and career development. SGA TOO does not
allow hype or unrealistic promises of any kind, and one's
decision to join the group must be based on an accurate
description of what the networking programs
involve. There are no guarantees of any kind either
express or implied.
Why
should I join the STEWART GROUP TOO?
Surveys indicate approximately 40%
of employed executives found their positions
through their personal or business networks.
Recruiters estimate 20% of their candidates are
identified from networking. Other estimates
indicate that 80% of all jobs are found through
networking. What is your plan instead of
networking? SGA TOO emphasizes an honest and
open approach to executive networking. The primary
benefit is the opportunity to network with other mid
management level executives willing to share
information on the “hidden job market” and
introductions to people they know. A secondary
benefit is the opportunity to build relationships with
equity investors, search professionals, and
consultants.
Can I really make worthwhile,
meaningful contacts with the STEWART GROUP
TOO?
If you choose to join SGA, you will
make contact with senior and mid management level
executives; quality and quantity will depend on you
and the amount of effort you put into networking. If you treat this like
a business and follow a networking strategy, then you
should be successful at creating quality relationships. However if you treat
this as a hobby, or sit back and let others do all the work,
then it will take you longer to achieve the contacts you
desire.
What
is a solid networking strategy?
Decide to give before you
receive. Refer search consultants, private equity
investors, hiring authorities, consultants, and other
executives to the group. Share leads that are not
a match for your qualifications with
the
group. Introduce group members where you have
helpful contacts. Offer advice in areas where you have
expertise. And most importantly, reach out and contact
members of the group with your offer to
help.
Is the STEWART
GROUP international?
Yes, if you can access the Internet and
meet the membership requirements you can become a member
of SGA TOO.
What does it cost to
join?
Membership dues for SGA TOO are
$95 for the first year and $75 per year
thereafter.
What benefit do I receive for my
money?
You will receive mid
management level job leads by email. Plus the
opportunity to build relationships with equity
investors through the Executive Sponsor Program and
the Executive Review Program.
Individual assistance on the acquisition process is
available on a fee basis.
Individual assistance on
the job search process is available on a fee basis.
