Daufuskie Island, SC - Mitch Evans and Mike Kind, Managing Partners in The Next Level Group held the first meeting of their fourth peer group yesterday and will be conducting the 50th meeting with their first peer group on Wednesday, August 25th.

"We're very excited about these achievements" stated Kind. "Celebrating the 50th meeting demonstrates the value of our process and it also facilitated the formation of our new group. In virtually every instance, our members joined this new group after discussions with the references we provided them of existing members." Kind continued. 

"We are particularly proud that all of our members have consistently showed a positive EBITDA over these last two difficult years. More importantly, 80% of our members are on a growth curve this year and those companies that are not growing from a revenue perspective are still showing an improvement on their bottom lines." said Evans.

The new group was launched on Tuesday, August 24th with seven similar sized members in non-competing markets.  The new members span three time zones with members from Boise, ID; Dallas, TX; Lincoln, NE; Des Moines, IA; Atlanta, GA; Pittsburgh, PA and Yorktown Heights, NY.

While Evans admits the program can't guarantee a company's success, he adds, "Members will get out as much as they are willing to put into the process. But what we can guarantee is that members will be better off with us than without us based on the collective knowledge we possess as a group. The sharing of experiences allows for better decision making among our CEOs. In fact, each membership comes with a guarantee – if after attending the first four meetings, the member does not think this is right for them, we will refund their monthly meeting fees."

Based on the very positive response, The Next Level Group expects to add their fifth group to qualified companies later this year.
