Lonnie Cooper from the Rate Kings Mortgage of West Chester is our newest member and graced the LeTip CCE group with an informative talk about the mortgage lending process. The process of applying for a mortgage can be simplified with an educated and professional representative.  Lonnie's frank and down to earth talk explained that information gathered at the beginning of a lending process will tell him and the client just what they are getting into. His expertise will reveal the red and yellow flags that an underwriter will look for, as he walks his clients through the process. Getting a loan for a new house, re-fi, or obtaining anything with the word "mortgage" is in the proficient hands of Lonnie and the Rate Kings.  Rated as one of the top  mortgage companies in the country.

QUOTE FOR THE WEEK:
Formula for success: rise early, work hard, strike oil.  -J. Paul Getty

Each week a member  gets to have ten minutes to speak about their business, explain goals that they may have, and how they want to move their business forward.  It is a wonderful opportunity to hone public speaking skills in a familiar environment, and also to inform the members to become their own personal sales force.

Kim Delaney, Penn Liberty Bank, spoke about the future of banking in an electronic age. The days of taking time to go to the bank may be over.  A good bank will recognize the need for off hour banking through the internet and mobile devices.  Penn Liberty is very sensitive to the needs of their clients.  Kim explained the "Check 21" government guidelines for banks to follow, allowing freedom of cash checking through fast return on checks, quicker money in the hands of businesses, and security procedures when taking images of checks. Penn Liberty also honors any checks drawn on their bank for processing, whether one has an account or not.   Nice......  The future of banking is within the customer service at Penn Liberty.

Jen Maggiore, of Fitness for Women, is a certified  holistic health coach specializing in weight management.  She spoke on Tuesday about the biggest block to any diet---sugar.  Very sobering to know that most people consume Five ponds of sugar each week! Jen coaches anyone who would like to become healthier, and manage their weight naturally, with real foods.  She educates her clients on how to read labels, how to shop properly and how to make meals to fit into one's individual lifestyle.  Using a "taking small bites for big results" approach, and slowly changing ones habits, her program is a success!

Quote of the week:
If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.
Jim Rohn

there is life after Tax Day. The majority of the members of LeTip Chester County East met for the weekly breakfast, even our accountant, Don Meyer from JBND Tax Books (www.jbndtaxbooks.com). In fact, several members personally expressed their gratitude for his assistance with their 2012 tax returns and gave testimonials to recommend his accounting services to the rest of the group.
 
The meeting began with our speaker of the week, Greg Cazillo, our chapter's web designer (www.cazillo.com). Greg showed us some "before and after" website designs to help us see how he can improve site navigation and help people who visit the site to easily find what they are looking for. First, potential customers need to find our websites, and Greg reminded us of the importance of continuing to feed fresh content into our sites in order to rank higher in web searches. Once someone finds us, our websites could have great information about products or services, but if it's too difficult for site visitors to find the information they want, they'll give up and take their business somewhere else. Greg is highly skilled in creating websites that are "findable" and easy to use. This is what we want, so that visitors will stay, read, click, and connect with us.
 
Since April 16 was the third Tuesday of the month, we also heard visitation reports from many members of the group. The better we know each other and can speak about what everyone does, the easier it is to Tip each other and find ways to help grow all of our businesses. We can put "Dollars in our Pockets" and also feel good about helping each other.

Our April 2 meeting began with our speaker of the week, Scott Brown from James Brown Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning. He showed us the small air quality monitor that his company uses in both homes and businesses to measure temperature, humidity, pollutants, and other conditions of the air inside a building. We viewed several pages of a report that Scott's company had performed for a local business, using graphs, charts, and colors to help illuminate the critical issues and recommended actions to make the air more comfortable and healthier to breathe. Any home or business could benefit from the detailed information provided by this report. The monitoring and reporting are free, and Scott would be happy to schedule this service (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).
