LeTip Chester County East, the premier, referral networking group of Chester County, held a great meeting on Tuesday. According to research from the Word of Mouth Marketing Association consumers are more motivated to try a brand if they learn about it from a trusted source. LeTip colleagues are your trusted source in recommending your products or services to their friends, family and colleagues!

GUESTS: We welcomed three guests this week:  1. Electa Mary Huber, Fine and Commercial Artist; 2. Ann Mau, Personal Injury Attorney; and 3. Peter Brizick of Carousel Toyota & Scion.

SPEAKERSSusan Dykas of eBernie, Inc. (Computer and I.T. Consulting) and Martin Ritter (General Contracting and Historical Preservation)

1st Speaker:  Susan’s presentation focused on the role of a Network Server within a small to mid-sized business’ I.T. environment. A server is a type of computer designed to process requests and deliver data to other computers over a local or wide area network, or the internet. Servers are configured with additional processing, memory and storage capacity. They offer high reliability, security, and centralized data storage and backup. A good lead is a company with 5 or more employees.

2nd Speaker:  Martin is our only General Contractor, Custom and Historical Preservation specialist. Common across all his projects is Martin’s ability to problem solve and communicate to his clients. He also works directly with architects, engineers and designers to get the job done – artfully yet efficiently. A good lead is a proactive customer with a historical renovation or repair -- or a highly detailed, home restoration project or addition.

TIPS: At this week’s meeting we circulated 11 tips total! (3 inside and 8 outside tips).

LeTip Chester County East, the premier, referral networking group of Chester County, held another informative meeting on Tuesday – with the power of networking clearly demonstrated throughout the morning.

SPEAKERSNivé Dhanak of JBND Taxbooks (Bookkeeping & Tax Planning) and Janet Raimondo of Heartland Payment Systems (Credit Card Processing, Payroll Services)

1st Speaker:  Nivé’s firm offers a monthly fixed-fee for Small Business Bookkeeping services.

Nivé also provided a summary of the main types of business entities (sole proprietor, partnership, corporation, LLC, etc.) and the key tax features for each. The JBND team can help clients select the right form of entity from the start. A good lead is a small to mid-sized business.

2nd Speaker:  Janet provides businesses with payments solutions that give them freedom to focus on their core business. Heartland helps its clients make as much money as possible from every sale rung up on a credit, debit and/or prepaid card by reducing out-of-pocket processing expenses. Heartland Payroll Services help businesses manage their workforce efficiently. They handle reporting, compliance, POS integration and Workers’ Compensation.

2nd Speaker:  Gary presented the three tiers of retirement and how this impacts retirement planning. In his financial planning process, Gary takes into consideration clients’ income -- such as Social Security, a paid-off mortgage and trips/gifts – as well as assets -- such as 401K, IRA and savings. Good leads are recently laid off folks who need to rollover their 401K, as well as those that are getting ready to retire.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK"Don’t limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.” By Mary Kay Ash

Hello Tippers! LeTip Chester County East, the premier, referral networking group of Chester County, enjoyed the company of 3 guests: Jeannine Jubeck, NSCA-CPT, Fit to the Core personal trainer; Patrick Christensen, At Your Services business and lifestyle; and Jon Nestlerode, handyman / general contractor.

1st Speaker:  Mark presented us with photos of Burkholder Brothers snow removal work from this past winter, as well as photos of recent landscaping, hardscaping and pool work. A good lead for Mark is a commercial property manager or homeowner interested in professional landscaping or maintenance work. Another lead would be a homeowner who would like to add to their outdoor deck / patio space, for example, with an outdoor fire pit or outdoor barbecue. Burkholder Brothers can also add a retaining wall of stone to prevent erosion or to terrace a hillside.  Send your leads to Mark!

2nd Speaker:  Sue enjoys working with a broad array of companies and schools that would like to increase brand awareness with logo’d promotional products. She will spend as much time as needed to research the right product for her clients, based on what products they sell or service they provide – or it may simply be a need for a popular product, like re-usable canvas bags. A good lead for Sue is a business or athletic facility interested in setting themselves apart from their competition, as well as educational institutions that wish to express their school spirit in unique and exciting ways.
