January 20th, 2009

This very historical inaugural day had a few members up early, and ready to grow their busineses through the cold.

Greg Cazillo, Chester County Wedding Photographer totally captivated the group with examples of his work.  His passion & professionalism is very clear.  Greg's photographs were passed around for all to view.

Bill Friedman, Blue Dog Printing and Design took on the role of mentor and coached the group through the details of their membership including goal setting for each quarter, expectation of dollars in the pocket, power partners-and the value of them, and finally the expectations set upon each member to make the group grow.

Marc Bamford sounded off on the heels of Bill to encourage members to "be greedy and be specific," and to take advantage of the group to help your goals be met.

Scott Darling revealed a change he has made for his business and encouraged others to try sending a hand written note to a client to  build your business this year.

1157 tips were passed in 2008, with $826,600 made from our group!

Visitations were fulfilled today.  Each member is required to visit another member and report to the group a good way to tip that member.
