Ivy Sea VIP Membership
A LOOK AT THE VALUE OF THE VIP MEMBERSHIP

Development Resources & Dialogue-Catalysts on Key Topics

Your VIP membership allows access to the VIP-exclusive Cyber Library materials, which includes several VIP skill-building bundles on leadership, management skills, ethics, organizational communication, interpersonal communication, visioning, mindset management, personal mastery, inspiration, motivation, the advantages of small groups, and big-vision small business.

Several of the PDF workbooks and guides in the Ivy Sea Online store are available to VIPs in the VIP area of the site, while others are available for separate purchase. Even those that seem geared towards a specific audience, such as the SOHO/SoloPreneur Quantum Leap guide and our Authentic, Conscious Sales & Marketing Guide, include content that would be valuable to others, such as reviews of consultative questions that direct the user to inquiry and creative problem-solving, providing a self-study consultation on the topics reviewed.

The VIP-only cyber library also includes access to more than 165 VIP-only articles, white papers, and dialogue starters. It includes VIP-only access to archives of the Brain Food and Ivy SeaZine editions, both of which contain additional skill-builder and consultative-inquiry articles.

High-Quality, Real-World Resources At the Ready

Many of our VIPs purchase membership to access one specific article or PDF bundle, or to link the content on their leadership-development and professional-development intranets. Others use it for as-needed skill-building and problem-solving throughout the year, and to regularly augment training and development resources, or stimulate fresh thinking, new perspectives, more vibrant dialogue, etc.

Significant Value in Market-Rate Comparison

In terms of basic market value, the VIP Basic membership fee is significantly less than what the average fee would be to have one basic article researched and written by a copywriter or staff member. The low-end rate for such writing services is $1 per word or more, and for high-level, high-experience materials, the consulting fees can easily run into the thousands of dollars for a small percentage of materials available in the VIP library alone.

To have "as needed" access to more than 165 VIP-only resources, reprint authorizations (depending on membership category) for VIP and Public Ivy Sea resources, and access to PDF skill-refreshers/workbooks and Audio Resources that include information, inspiration, and guidance that one would receive in a consultation from coach or advisor includes a market-rate cost of hundreds of dollars per one-hour session, and thousands or tens of thousands of dollars for ongoing or project consultation.

License to Reprint & Distribute

Gold, Platinum, and Diamond VIPs receive another enormous value -- reprint and distribution authorization to use the materials within their organizations, on their intranets, with member/customer communications, in client-centered work, etc.

For the VIPs who purchase memberships with reprint and distribution authorization, the value in cost-savings and information received, for those who put it to use, is greater yet, because the ability to access and distribute materials without having to pay consulting fees or employee salaries, benefits, management time, etc., is significant.

Easy Ways to Keep It 'Front of Mind'

To help keep the resource 'front of mind', VIPs can subscribe to the almost-monthly Ivy SeaZine, which is complimentary, and also receive periodic VIP-only emails that feature available content and resources.

You'll find the public overview of VIP member benefits for Basic and other categories, at the VIP Content Index. Access to the VIP Member Center content will require your VIP user name and password.

If you have other questions about the value of your VIP membership and the resources available to you, our VIP Members can review the "How to Make the Most of Your VIP Membership" article in the VIP Library, which is also linked on the VIP Member Center home page at Ivy Sea Online.
