Another great Tuesday morning with BNI Success Alliance!
This week’s Core Value came from Larry Herskowitz, who talked about Building Relationships and why those relationships are really the foundation of Givers Gain. People do business with people they know, like and trust.
Mickey Keenan shared our Purpose & Overview and how BNI has evolved for him over the years. What originally started as a way to find clients and learn how to network has grown into a trusted network of people he can rely on personally, professionally, and when connecting his own clients with great local businesses.
For Lifelong Learning, Zach Cudizio reminded us that when you need a substitute, choosing the right person can create an opportunity for everyone. A great sub represents your business well, comes prepared, and may even make valuable new connections of their own.
🌟 Featured Presenters
Adam Bowles | Pure Precision Custom Detailing
Adam showed us just how much Pure Precision has grown beyond traditional detailing. From ceramic coatings and paint protection film to automotive, residential and commercial window tinting, marine protection, and vehicle customization, his focus is helping protect what you own while making it easier to maintain and enjoy.
Anthony Cerchia | Dannible & McKee LLP
Anthony gave us a closer look at the depth of services available through Dannible & McKee. As a full-service CPA firm, they help individuals and businesses with much more than tax preparation, including tax planning and compliance, audits and accounting, business valuations, ownership transition planning, employee benefit plans, and more.
🏆 30-Second Presentation of the Week
Congratulations to Tucker Kemp | Sherwood Palm & Tree Healthcare!
Tucker gave a very specific ask for an introduction to the store manager at the Walmart on US 19 and Roosevelt. Several of the property’s large Sylvester palms are being damaged by insects, and rather than continuing to replace the trees, Tucker would like the opportunity to help protect and preserve them.
