Differentiators

What Distinguishes LXCouncil?

When making a decision about where to spend your time and money in order to advance your professional and personal growth, there are a multitude of factors to consider. Here is a sampling of the more important factors to take into account.

LXCouncil	Other Peer Boards
Selling vs. Coaching Uses “highest and best use” talent model. Understands that the best moderators are usually not great at developing business and growing the council. Leverages strategic relationships and creative techniques for systematic marketing.	Marketing and sales are done by the coach or moderator. Either… Strategic growth of the boards is inhibited by lack of sales expertise. Or…Turnover on the boards is created by great sales people, but bad coaches. Both possibilities are bad. It is difficult to get new markets launched
Moderator Relationships We train in-house, according to our proprietary protocol, to create skilled moderators. Moderators are incentivized to foster greater communication among councils for the good of the members. We audit and measure the member experience.	Moderators lack incentives to work together in markets or together nationally. The experience of a moderator varies, and there is no consistent delivery. Moderators may have questionable coaching certifications. There are few if any audits or other measurements.
Leverage For Our Members Multi-council member relationships. Multi-council tools. Multi-council best practices. Creates strategic partnerships.	Silo operations by market. Operates independently.
Local vs. Global Perspective Create local/global experience that is consistent yet customized. Lifetime membership option. Mentoring by existing leaders. Recognize leaders for achievements and best-practice sharing.	Member experience is created locally per moderator. Lack of broader exposure to other companies or talents. Little realization of being part of a bigger organization with vast resources.
Focus Members have broadened views of national relationships, and are not tied to the moderator or council. The experience is not from the moderator, it’s from the council. The ultimate goal is for members to understand that it is their personal council.	The member view is of their own board or facilitator only; they are usually tied to the facilitator. The facilitator often consults and creates the member experience around them.
Proprietary Tools & Resources Develops and contracts proprietary tools that enhance the experience of the leader, and do not create conflicts of interest: Strategic planning tools Leadership Tools Exit Planning Tools Behavior/value profiles Business tools Trade-marked internal forms and processes	Lack of real proprietary tools that advance the vision of all.
No Conflicts of Interest Strategic-based consulting is handled through the LXCouncil corporate entity. Skill-based consulting is outsourced to trusted advisors (strategic partners).	Consulting vs. Coaching: no clear emphasis on one vs. the other. Many coach for the consulting opportunity, which could equal a conflict of interest.
Perspective Team-based culture with rewards, recognition, and profit-sharing or bonus structure. There is no conflict of interest, which is a win-win for all involved (leaders, moderators, and LXCouncil corporation). Creates ownership mentality. Operates from Abundance Perspective.	Various team concepts with awards to some degree. There is no win-win alignment, because there is a conflict between best interests of member, facilitator, and corporation. Operates from Scarcity Perspective.
Commitment Changes the paradigm to mutual commitment. We insure that the member is right fit as determined by the potential member, LXCouncil and the existing council members.	Monthly commitment.
Measurements for Results and Satisfaction Level Assessment up front. Subsequent assessments are conducted yearly. Measure KPI improvement.	Little to no measurement or results documentation.
