We have one KPI
Lives Changed
Sure, we pay attention to the standard key performance metrics (KPIs) that companies like ours should be watching: average length of membership, member retention rates, and so on.
But our top KPI — the one that proves we are executing our vision — is the gratitude we receive from our members.
While we can’t possibly share them all, here are the most recent 300:
I can't imagine what my life would look like if I had not joined RA, and I don't want to!
I must say that RA has been one of the most beneficial investments TDS has made since 1985. I only wish I had done it sooner. That said (and hindsight being 2020), the value of membership has been priceless with respect to providing Ben the confidence and skills to effectively and profitably manage a 3 million dollar business with a passion to grow beyond that level in the coming years.
All this from a guy who started with TDS in 1999 as a laborer digging fence post holes and doing demo, working his way through senior lead carpenter/project manager and now our general manager--Amazing! So THANK YOU!
Vitruvious and RA are adding tremendous value to RisherMartin and me individually and we are excited to raise the bar, level up the entire group and push everyone further and higher. It's a very high performing group and I think the sky is the limit. We owe you a debt of gratitude for the work you do (along with your staff) to make this happen for us. THANKS.
Just wanted to acknowledge the improvement in communication and the refined impression that RA is being proactive in having more touches with us throughout the year. I believe it is important and I feel better about the direction of my membership
RA is an incredible resource, and I leave every meeting energized and excited to increase production.
After only one meeting in Scottsdale it has already begun to reshape our company in a small and large way.
RA has been the driving force in the success of my company.
You guys are superheroes!
RA has been great for my personal and professional development!
Everyone there has everyone else's best interest in mind . The advice is frank and sometimes hard to hear but is necessary when it comes to improvement and accountability.
RA is the single best thing I ever did to advance my business.
Value of working with like minded people to help each other improve their business/life.
Your consistent improvement of RA demonstrates how much you care about my industry and that reflects in the quality of the education Roundtables provides.
Terrific very industry specific information, training, and tools.
It's a great experience. It makes you look into your company and set time aside to work on the company. You meet amazing people and get filled with excitement about work.
Format and areas of focus are relevant to growing a construction business.
Have been immersed in ideas and experiences for my company and my personal life!
I feel that I have gained valuable insight from my group and RA as a whole that others could certainly benefit from.
Love the camaraderie of people that have been through similar and are going through similar situations as I am in.

It's tough to succeed in this business without outside help!
It is helping us grow into a great company.
The assistance and access to experienced company owners involved helps me grow as a company and as an individual
I have already recommended your company to many others. I think it is exactly what a small business in our industry needs to get the basics mastered and be challenged and motivated to take our businesses to the next level.
RA contributes significantly to the profitability and professionalism of remodeling companies.
Great experience! This was my first meeting and the take aways are beyond anything I could have imagined.
I joined RA because I wanted to grow and improve my business, as well as uncover and explain certain aspects/metrics that weren't making sense to me. In addition to the 14 or 15 typed pages of "ah has" I have accumulated over the past 3 years, RA has helped me identify a number of shortcomings with my business and how to address them. I may not still be in business without RA and instead of fledgling along I have been able to create a number of fantastic habits that I am confident will put me on a trajectory to success and financial reward.
The valuable feedback we get from our fellow company owners would not be possible if not facilitated by RA.
Going through this process cuts the learning curve so dramatically. The ROI can be outstanding if you go "all in".
The knowledge gained from my interactions with colleagues in the remodeling world is invaluable.
Results, encouraging environment, structured and well led.
This process has, and continues to take my business to the next level.
Helps in business development and guidance.

The guidance and feedback is invaluable.
Great input from committed and successful peers.
Good to be a part of a larger organization that I can learn from without reinventing.
Roundtables peer groups are the best thing I have ever done for my company. My company and myself personally have evolved tremendously and past any pre-conceived ideas. I am more stable and profitable by far (I believe) than I ever would have been without this group.
Great format, great facilitators, great resources. Better then I imagined!
All the members are extremely talented and no matter the size of your company, if you engage in the process, you will learn and improve.
Helpful roadmap to creating a meaningful and profitable company.
Powerful communication with quality like-minded design-build professionals.

The ability to talk to so many other businesses and bounce questions and ideas off of them. It has been invaluable for me with no experience in the industry.
A great opportunity to learn from industry leaders.
RA provides a structured format for peer mentoring. We all deal with the same issues and RA helps us mentor each other for wonderful results.
Roundtables offer our company an outside perspective on our people and processes. We find the information shared to be a benefit to our entire team and not just the individuals involved in the Roundtables.

Great opportunity for continuous improvement.
Great culture and environment. Very useful tools and training from professionals.
The information provided at my first Roundtables meeting has been invaluable. All of the people facilitating our meetings were engaging, insightful, caring and carried themselves with a high level of professionalism..

I have been in club groups before and it was more dessert, this has been the meat and veggies needed for good health in the company.
Highly effective system with proven results. Our mentors and the current majority owners of the company we are purchasing were members years ago and benefited greatly from the program. We know it will work if we put in the work.

RA provides the tools and support to help me figure what I am doing with my business and achieve the life I want to create.

It is still a uniquely valuable resource.
RA has supported our culture of continuous improvement. RA has been the catalyst for so much positive change in our business.
Special group of people.
RA offers a perfect way for peer groups to get together and share experiences and collaborate on ideas. My first meeting was most beneficial.
I feel this has been a safe comfortable environment to be open and real. Knowing others are going through some of the same things as me makes it feel that i'm not alone. I'm also given solutions to problem areas.
I bring valuable information back with me each meeting.
My first meeting was very eye opening to me as far as how far I and we as a company have a long way to go.
hRA is helpful through networking and learning from peer remodelers.

Great learning tool and allows me to think outside of the box.
Valuable resource to remodelers.
Great insight into what we can do to become better.
Great constructive criticism to improve my business.
RA has changed my life and my company. I hope it can do the same for others.
The Roundtables and Case Studies are the best thing that can happen to a construction company looking to grow and improve. The Summit is not valuable time and decreases the overall value of RA.
Incredible value in getting in the room with great people, being honest, and helping each other.
RA has transformed my business, it's performance and results, the quality of my life, and my ability to provide an above average standard of living for my family.
I have recommended people to RA. I think at its best, RA can be transformational. Whether one has a good RA experience is totally dependent on how good their group is and how committed they are to do the hard work to change their business.
We have gained a great deal from our peers, the access to this information is unique and valuable.
This program has unlocked the path to growth and financial stability for my company.

RA defines a successful company in more ways than just profitability. They are absolutely concerned about it, but also take into consideration company culture, work/life balance, ethical practices, etc.

A high level of valuable input for all aspects of our business.
The lessons I have learned here are invaluable. RA as a resource overall is awesome.
What you guys do is magic. You bring together people who would never know each other, make them care about each other through humanizing our struggles to build our companies, help us own our burdens as a team and help us become the old friends that we never knew we had. Some of the strongest bonds I have with other adults, not related to me, I have from my RA Roundtables. I know that I can call almost any of them and they will answer my call, and help me with my problems. This cannot be understated. Being a boss is a lonely endeavor. You are often forced to make decisions that are extremely unpopular. Decisions that, on first glance, are stupid or rash, but when looked at from the perspective of time and knowing that you have to take care of the business first, before friendships, make complete sense. Often, the only people I can talk to are my RA family. They are the only ones that have the perspective, intelligence, experience and empathy to understand my necessary position and give me the best advice for me and the organization, even if it is advice that I don’t want to hear. These friends are priceless. Thank you and please, thank your team for me.
Thank you Victoria! I think you and your organization are awesome. You, Steve, Mark, Lindsay, Judith, etc, etc. No way would I be on the path that I’m on without you. In fact, there’s no way that the remodeling industry would be where its at, countless owners have more financial and time freedom as a result of you and your team's great work.
