The CMS Client Program

AN ELITE GROUP OF SUCCESSFUL
 CLUB OWNERS & OPERATORS

Wouldn't you like to join the elite group of successful club owners and operators around the world that claim profits as high as 26% of revenues?

Wouldn't you like to have all of your marketing and advertising created for you as part of your yearly marketing plan?

Wouldn't you like to hold that constant edge over your competition through superior training, education, plus have a phone hotline that helps you solve your most compelling questions and answers?

Since 1981, clubs all over the world have become members of this exclusive club simply by becoming a subscriber to the CMS Client Program (more affectionately known as GROUP M&M'S). As a Group M&M you become a member of an elite fraternity of club owners and operators, part of a very successful club network who have claimed amazing success stories over the last 16 years.

 Consider these actual cases: (Please visit with us and we'll give you full documentation, if you wish).

- California: Club becomes GROUP M&M in 1986 averaging $36,000 per month in revenues, a big loser. In 1988, the club averages $107,000 per month, a huge winner!

- New York: Owner has 3 clubs and is losing $200,000 per year. After 1st year he is breaking even, and after the 4th year on the program is netting $600,000 per year, then sells the clubs for $4.5 million.

- New Jersey: In the first 30 days on the program the club is able to cut $200,000 off of the annual payroll. And, instead of losing $600,000, is making that amount after 2 years on the program.

- Massachusetts: Club is highly successful for many years, however is having a rough time staying on track. Lost money for the first month ever. Becomes a GROUP M&M and proceeds to have the best year ever, netting over $1 million.

These are just a few of the hundreds of success stories our Group M&M's have experienced.
