What a great day to do business!
One thing is for sure about being a member of the Trussville Chapter of BNI. We keep busy making introductions, attending Power Team meetings, and helping each other grow our businesses.
Well I’ve been covered up with new business and thought it would be a good time to catch you up on our meetings.
Several members have given great 10 minute presentations. Here are some highlights from each.
Josh Vernon, Branch Manager for Regions Bank. Josh explained how Regions strives to be more customer friendly. Each branch offers a nice customer greeting and excellent customer care. Josh asks to report any poor service to any branch in order to improve customer relations. Regions has recently reduced some of the fees to also make banking with them a more pleasurable experience. Regions offers much more than loans, checking, and savings. Ask Josh how his branch can better serve your personal and business financial needs.
The following week Kerri Gulledge, stylist and cosmetologist at Salon 2000 in Trussville, explained how when life gets hairy, you should call Kerri. Kerri’s home town is Pell City, Alabama.

Waxing is also available. Kerri would like to meet Mary Kay, Arbonne, and other cosmetics representatives. Call her if you are planning a wedding. She can style each member of the wedding party for perfect pictures. Photographers will be happy to send customers to Kerri for the best portraits.
