FAQ's & Contact Us

The Phygital Entrepreneur Training Institute (TPETI) is an organization focused on studying, developing, and sharing ideas that help entrepreneurs succeed in an increasingly consumer-demanding digital marketplace. TPETI explores how technology can make customer acquisition easier and more efficient while purposeful human interaction can strengthen relationships, create additional value, and increase customer lifetime value.

A Phygital environment exists when consumers demand frictionless or self-service acquisition options but still maintain an expectation of human interaction if they want it. Phygital then, describes the intentional combination of physical human interaction and digital technology.

The best place to start is our online TPETI presentation, which provides an overview of the Institute, Membership, Employment opportunities, research activities, and available employee benefits. You may also submit a question through the Contact Us section of TPETI.com.

If you use digital tools to attract, acquire, communicate with, or serve customers while also relying on your personal expertise, relationships, judgment, or interaction to create additional customer value, you are already operating in a Phygital environment.

For Phygital Entrepreneurs, it means using technology where it creates speed, convenience, and efficiency while using personal expertise, relationships, and human interaction where they create greater value.

TPETI is particularly interested in entrepreneurs who want to better understand how technology and human capability can work together rather than viewing one as a replacement for the other.

Membership is intended for entrepreneurs and professionals who meet TPETI's eligibility and industry-verification requirements and have an interest in the Institute's research, education, thought leadership, and entrepreneurial activities. Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance. TPETI reviews each application before offering Membership.

If your organization requires you to disclose or obtain approval for an Outside Business Activity (OBA), you are responsible for complying with those requirements.

TPETI is not affiliated with any other company or institution. However, our administration worked closely with compliance officers and senior executives at a major insurance and financial services organization to develop a consistent, formulaic description of the TPETI relationship for OBA submissions.

When completing your OBA request, we strongly encourage you to use the TPETI-provided description exactly as written, allowing compliance personnel to quickly recognize and resolve your approval.

You can copy and submit this statement verbatim to your compliance officer. Download the OBA Statement

Specific responsibilities are outlined in the applicable employment documents.

TPETI positions are designed to involve a limited and clearly defined commitment of time.
