Randy Kirk said: "Thank you Thuy Le for last weeks presentation on Facebook Fan Pages. The group seemed to be really interested in figuring out how to optimize your Fan Page, which may have encouraged some in the group to put up their own page.
Thank you Thuy Le, in advance, for organizing the educational aspect of our meeting of August 11. As our regular attenders know, we have one meeting per month which is devoted to business development. This month we are going to discuss the creation and use of power partners. A power partner is an individual or business that naturally provides you with a steady source of leads. For Thuy, a real estate broker, Bill Rayman our Mortgage Broker, and Maria Becerra, our property and casualty insurance agent, are natural power partners. Who is your natural power partner? How can you identify professions that would naturally feed your business? Once you've identified the category, how do you find that great partner that you can trust and respect?"

“ This is a group of great professionals. The meetings are not only structured and organized, but also fun... I look forward to Wednesday mornings now, can't wait to see all the familiar faces and listen to what they have to say about their businesses... It's very hard and sometimes frightening out there because of the economy nowadays. You can't do everything yourself, you can't work and look for work all the time, it's good to share and help one another...
