What a great day to do business!

February 29th only comes once every four years but BNI Trussville came together for another meeting on this unusual date. With working toward 40+ members squarely in our sights, we inducted new member Kerri Gulledge, Stylist at Salon 2000 in Trussville. Landscaper, Colby Sisson, submitted his application and Steven Newbold has been approved for membership.

Jeff Wilson’s educational moment urged us to listen for the many opportunities to give referrals. When 2 or more persons gather to do business, listening can open the door for Trussville BNI members.

During our sales manager’s 60 second, members were given fortune cookies and instructed to use the fortune inside as part of their presentation. This excercise brought out many new ideas for members to develop when seeking referrals.

Erica Work, from Don’s Carpet One, did an outstanding 10 minute presentation. With an extensive education and background in interior design, Erica will be an excellent referral to many. She introduced products for both home and office. Erica’s knowledge of carpet, hardwood, laminate, porcelain, and several types of stones used in decorating is enormous. Erica also explained how carpets can be bound into rugs or customers can choose from an extensive line of Orientals.

Looks like our member numbers are growing right along with our business referrals. This would be a great time to introduce your business to our group. We meet again Friday, March 7, 2008. See you there!
