Joining PROS of Central Oregon

PROS is the largest and longest running group of its kind in Central Oregon, with many members still in the group from its inception over seven years ago. Other members have grown their businesses to a point where they could not take any new clients and then resigned their memberships. This is not to say that this type of group is for everyone or every business. Some members have had trouble quantifying the value of the time and money invested in the group. Please feel free to contact any member and ask question about the group and how it helped their business grow.
