July 25th B2B Luncheon

Jay Anderson's recap:

The ANSWER is 28
The question was………what is our official member ship right now, as of the July 25th meeting? A far cry from what we had about 18 months ago.

ATTENDENCE RECAP 22 members in attendance plus 6 guests. We welcome into our awesome group:
· Aifala Ama with Family First Senior Care
· Jeremy Pointer with Noel Communications Inc.
· Nicole Nanny with Regain your Brain; and
· Paul Hajek with Galliard.

James Hicks, John Gilchrist, and Trina Olson were unable to attend and gave their regrets. Al Boschma also missed the meeting and I am missing his hall pass.

RECAP; Counting our 4 newest……79% attendance. We are rapidly outgrowing our new location at Luigi’s. Perhaps we should have someone look into the Arena (James? Are you there?) To see about being able to handle the crowd.

Absent, in addition to the 4 members above, Rulene Henderson and Petrushka Pavolvoich were excused.

Guests consisted of:
· Larry Langiais-Time Warner Telecom
· Dee Ann Kirklin – Robert Half International
· Fran McCully – Administrative Solutions
· Mike Von Brethorst – PSI
· Angela Rapier – Volt Services
· Joni Woodwell, with Greater Spokane Incorporated, was our guest speaker and gave us a nice overview of her duties at overseeing the Business Resource Group and to how they contribute to new business in the area. It also was very interesting to hear how new business, is so key to bringing in additional business in the community that we all live.

LEADS----No leads to report, I think John Sutherland of the Chiefs is getting one from Jason Farrow….but no leads slip (or email) was passed. SO, the total for the entire month of July was ZERO-ZILCH-NOTTA.

Due to the size of the group, it was noted that we did not do a real great job with sharing of leads and (for the benefit of our newer members) how we refer them on to each other. Perhaps at our next meeting we can focus on that activity better as well as have referral slips available for review and passing.

Remember, I need to eat……but in order to eat….I need work….I need your referral, you need my referral….we both need work so we can continue to show up and network at events like this…….Sound like a plan?

Have an awesome week…..
