LeTip Chester County East, the premier, referral networking group of Chester County, was responsible for lots of networking during our meeting on Tuesday. We enjoyed the company of 3 guests: Marshall Pearson, wills and estates attorney; Jennifer Gizzio-Peterkin of Caramella gift baskets; and Pat Linaugh of Shared Technologies (voice and data).
SPEAKERS: Mark Burkholder of Burkholder Brothers Landscaping - Chester County Landscaping and Greg Cazillo of @Cazillo (Website design)
1st Speaker: Your front lawn gives your friends, family and customers their first impression of you, your home or your business. Mark discussed the importance of keeping the front lawn of your home or business looking neat and beautiful. Mark provides a professional design which will allow you to visualize your lawn or landscape before construction begins. Also, if you have not checked your sprinkler timer you may be providing your lawn and gardens with too much or not enough water. The Burkholder team can check and correct your sprinkler systems. Send your leads to Mark.
2nd Speaker: Greg has re-branded his company which is now called @Cazillo. A good referral for Greg is an individual or business that: 1. Is unhappy with current Website design process (e.g., taking too long, designer too expensive, bad photography, internal I.T. department is handling), 2. would like to have a new Website designed (e.g. re-design should occur every 1.5 to 2 years, with content updated every 6 months); and 3. need new features implemented (e.g. CMS, online forms, ticket sales, blogs, e-commerce, calendars, newsletters and more). Please send your referrals to Greg!
QUALIFIED TIPS CIRCULATED: At this week’s meeting we circulated a 25 tips total! (3 inside, 21 outside, 1 inter-chapter). Go Tippers!

SPEAKERS: Jack Ansley of John H. Ansley Studio (portrait and landscape photography) and Sue Bullock of Tuttle Marketing (promotional products)
1st Speaker: Jack is passionate about converting your sports, military, business or family photos into the form of polished plaques or professionally photographed or enhanced pictures or posters. He can also add names, location, date or other details to better describe the image being viewed. Jack shared a presentation of his beautiful work. With Jack’s photographic talent and design experience, he can transform a plain picture to a cherished memory that can be proudly displayed in any business lobby, school hall or family home. Please send your leads to Jack!
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 shared with us anecdotes on the power of listening to friends, family, clients and colleagues to uncover leads for other LeTip members. 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.

LeTip Chester County East, the premier, referral networking group of Chester County, held another interesting meeting on Tuesday. We had the pleasure of one guest – Tom Gallagher of John Gallagher and Sons Plumbing came back for a 2nd visit.
SPEAKERS: Teri West of Superior Home Mortgage and Gary Siano of Guided Wealth Management, financial planner.
1st Speaker: For over 14 years Teri has been helping home buyers get the best mortgage deals – based on income level, credit score and overall long-term needs. Because of her broad background in customer service and working with a variety of people, Teri has a way of connecting with her customers and making them feel at ease during the home-buying or refinancing process – which can be very confusing! Mortgage interest rates are nearing a 50-year low, so now is a good time to refinance for many. Good leads for Teri are divorced individuals and engaged couples, families having babies or needing money for college education.
2nd Speaker: Gary provided a comparison among four options to handle your financial planning needs: 1. No Load Fund (e.g. Vanguard); 2. American Funds; 3. MAP; and 4. Variable Annuity. He listed key benefits and showed how this varied for each option, such as ongoing advice and life-time guarantee. Gary works closely with his clients to evaluate retirement goals and objectives and, based on this assessment, he helps determine the best option. Good leads for Gary are individuals who have been laid off from their job and need to rollover their 401K, as well as those that are getting ready to retire.
QUALIFIED TIPS CIRCULATED: At this week’s meeting we circulated 14 tips total! (3 inside, 11 outside). 70 tips total for the month of May! Go Tippers!
TOP TIPPER FOR MAY: Congratulations to Scott Brown of James Brown Plumbing!
TIP OF THE WEEK: Referral marketing reduces your sales expenses and sales cycle. With less time calling cold prospects, your small business can focus on customers and their circle of influence. Referrals can build your level of satisfied customers. The cycle self-perpetuates with more satisfied customers referring others to your company. http://sbinformation.about.com/cs/advertising/a/aa020203a.htm
