"Typical of busy executives, I viewed the first attempts on the part of Charter Partners to reach out to our business as "junk mail" in my inbox. Fortunately their perseverance was worth my while. My skepticism was won over with professionalism, genuine enthusiasm and one of the most creative business models I've come across in a long time." 

"Through Charter Partners, my peer group of area golf facilities formed our own sub-group called Tee2Green (T2G). The Charter Partners staff help to guide, facilitate, motivate and direct T2G in its infancy. Their efforts continue as strongly one year later. In essence, they brought us together, despite our resistance, to help us save money through the synergistic power of group negotiations. They have performed a function that quite honestly we couldn't and wouldn't have done without them. My company continues to see savings in areas I never thought possible! Not only does our group see savings from contracts negotiated on our behalf, we also see savings from products negotiated for other peer groups!"
