“There is no better resource in our industry than REX Roundtables to get high level information that leads to great bottom line results!
“My membership in REX may be the very best business decision I have ever made.”
“I have not missed a Roundtable meeting in the last twelve years. They keep me inside my industry with smart peers with solid experience. The years I’ve been in REX are equivalent to an Executive MBA, but more focused and more practical. It’s like being on a high performing team where everyone is stretched to keep up with the others.”
“I’ve been participating in my Roundtable for 12 years now. This is the single, most valuable thing I do for the growth of our business and my own professional development. The educational components and the networking opportunities are invaluable.”
“I have had the opportunity to be on a REX roundtable for over 10 years. REX has been responsible for not only helping me more than double my gross revenues and greatly increase my profitability; it has helped me become a much better leader.”
