Summer of BNI
July 12, 2008 4:38 pm Networking News
What a great day to do business!
Trussville BNI members are looking forward to the next several weeks of bonus networking opportunities. Many will be visiting the Mudtown Chapter on July 23 for the purpose of passing along cross chapter business referrals and introductions. See www.bnialabama.com for more information on the Mudtown’s members.
Former members of BNI Trussville are invited to a reunion on August 1st. This event will bring together BNI trained business networkers and should provide a large number of referrals as we have all adopted the “Givers Gain” philosophy.
Cassidee Gooden with Snap Fitness and Charlie Baker from American Foam Insulation visited over the past few weeks. They have expressed interest in becoming members.
Our Key Note Presenters from our meetings have included:
New Creation Landscaping owner Colby Sisson acquainted members with his business. He told an amusing story about his endeavor with portable toilets and explained his involvement in “The Basement” ministry. Colby is a member of the Alabama Turf Grass Association and is well educated in his field. You may see New Creation servicing the landscaping needs of restaurants, churches, schools, and numerous homeowners. His crew is capable of installing new sod, outdoor lighting, irrigation systems, flagstone patios, as well as providing regular treatments to enhance your lawn or solve problems with fungus or insects.
Tom Mooney explained Long Term Care Insurance to members. He is retired from Rust Engineering and spends his spare time fishing, wood working, and building the “dream garage”. Persons anticipating problems or may require assistance with transferring, bathing, using the toilet, in need of supervision due to mental or physical disabilities should consider talking with Tom about long term care insurance. You can look for Tom’s message during his free group talks or newsletters available in print or through email. Financial planners are a great source of referrals for Tom as they can better serve their clients through introducing them to long term care planning.
“Life comes at you fast”. Nationwide’s own Jay Grogan began in the car sales business but now is a very successful insurance provider. He began the Trussville Chapter of BNI around 9 years ago and contributes much of his success to the word of mouth referrals generated through the group. Call (205) 661-AUTO for your personal, (home / auto) or commercial insurance needs. Jay will provide “peace of mind” knowing your valuable possessions are insured under Nationwide.
Our next meeting is soon, every Friday in fact. Make plans to visit and share your business with our networking professionals. See you there.
