I knew this site from somebody inside IIB. I am still an IIB associate.
One good example of IIB practice is the number of Associates showed the homepage of their website (5000). It looks like this is the current number of Associates working within the network. Not at all, this is the number of people who have belonged once to IIB, including the retired ones, those who left, even those who unfortunately passed away. The right number you find when adding all the associates on the Intranet is less than 3000.
IIB is definitely an organization led by non honest persons.
Of course they are very efficient at marketing, selling their RBS (one week training period), even promising the guarantee of a minimum invoicing. Everything is smoke and mirror. The minimum guarantee is just dishonest (you will be told that you do not comply with it for any reason and just taken out of it after a few months).
The free appointments supplied by IIB are just astonishing, people not showing up, people not knowing who you are and why you are coming, others not in a position to make any decision, I was even supposed to have one with somebody who had retired 2 years before.
The network has turned out (at least outside England) absolutely inefficient, you have to read thousands of irrelevant e-mails to find one or 2 per year you are in a position to answer to.
IIB in order to look dynamic, does not allow choosing relevant criteria for selecting the addressees so every e-mail is sent to everybody, and you will have for example, a house to sell in Spain, somebody looking for a second hand computer or a person looking for an HR specialist in Australia or South Africa.
I have sent about 20 mass e-mails in order to find some business opportunities for my clients with no result.
IIB leaders are very clever, and when an associate criticizes them, a network of IIB friends are in charge of answering and furiously saying how happy they are with IIB, and why the author of the critic is one example of unsuccessful, bitter and incompetent person.
To sum it up, IIB is a skilful selling process based on the illusion they sell to mature persons that they can build a successful consulting business within the IIB network, a training method (called RBS) which does not work, and basic and inefficient mailing facilities, IIB is controlled and managed by a Group of persons taking advantage of the systems which many associates that pay, come and leave such as myself. From the operational point of view IIB is emptiness probably for the majority of his members.
I advise to stay out of it.
