1/9 Recap

Thanks, Carol, for putting these notes together:

Hello Everyone! What a great way to start out the new year to see so many people at the B2B meeting. It was wonderful to have each of you there and a special thanks to those who brought guests. Mark Pond did an excellent job at his new job of leading our meeting-thank you Mark! He has also done a fabulous job of creating a spreadsheet to keep track of lead and attendance which can be seen at http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pC3IuhtGzGDN4XkuAfah9CA and I want to personally thank Mark for taking the time to come to Parkside Physical Therapy and acquaint me with this spreadsheet and the blog that he has been working on.

We had 12 members in attendance and 2 visitors. James brought Amber Triplett who works with him at WestCoast Entertainment. She will be attending the meetings from time to time when James is otherwise occupied. Jason F. tells us that he is passing the torch to his co-worker, Bill Kilian. Jason will be in attendance for the next meeting but after that time Bill will be representing American Van Service, Inc. Jason assures us that we will continue to see him from time to time as he is going to be joining the Ambassadors program with GSI. You will be wonderful as an ambassador Jason. And none of us blame you for being excited about that new jacket!

There were 9 leads passed-great job of that. Especially Grant. Here is a quick rundown: Dianne LaValley (1), Jason Farrow (1), Kyle Klippert (1), and Grant with a grand total of (5)-he has been a busy man! If anyone has anymore leads to pass along to me please do so by email and I will get them accounted for.

Dianne acted as treasurer as Dean was absent from the meeting due to being snowed in. She collected the $10 that will go to the B2B group member with the most leads in 6 months. If you did not contribute your $10.00 as yet please bring that for the next meeting on 1/23.

Mark led us in a discussion covering all of the Rules and Regulations. We discussed the particular importance of these items:

·Not missing more than 3 meetings per quarter

·Making at least one onsite visit to another member of the group per quarter

·Each member needs to bring at least on guest per quarter

·The importance that each member bring business leads to others in the group and recording the monetary effect of that referral.

Jay Anderson is doing well and should be able to attend the next meeting. That is fabulous news and we look forward to seeing you Jay.

Grant had a super special for the B2B members. For each new client we refer to him that he can make a presentation to he will give us $100.00 as well as one free month of advertising in his "Welcome New Neighbor" baskets. Now you can't beat that. Lets spread the good news of Grant's enterprise to our fellow business people and reap the rewards.

We ended the meeting with a "fist-pounding on table" urging from Jason to get our Profile Sheets updated and in by our next meeting. These Profile Sheets are essential for all of us to get to know one another and understanding how we can help one another to make our businesses grow. Let me know if you do not have a copy of a Profile Sheet and I will get a copy to you immediately.

Alrighty then. Take care all and we will see you on 1/23! Carol
