Networking with LeTip Chester County East (CCE) is more energizing than caroling with Santa’s elves! Thanks to our tippers for another jam-packed morning at our recent meeting on Tuesday, December 1, 2009.

SPEAKERS: Our speakers were:  Craig Constable of UFinancial and Mike Clark of The Wireless Zone.

1st Speaker:  Craig discussed the difference between “Term” vs. “Permanent” Life Insurance, with a key difference being coverage for a specific period of time or for as long as you live. Whole Life Insurance is the basic type of permanent life insurance. Other types of permanent life insurance include: Universal Life and Variable Universal Life. Craig also offers Business Owned Life Insurance which is permanent insurance held by employers on the lives of their employees. This is to protect your business on the death of an employee(s) whose services are vital to the company’s operations. A good lead for him is a closely held company where there are 2,3,4 owners or partners and they are looking to protect what they have worked so hard to build.

2nd Speaker:  Mike represents Wireless Zones, authorized retailers for Verizon Wireless, in Frazer and Thorndale. Mike offers a full line of cell phones, Smart Phones: Blackberry, PALM, etc., as well as aircards for laptops. The newest, hot product is the Motorola Droid which is the first Android device offered by Verizon Wireless and is based on Google's Android operating system. It offers many cool features like Built-in Google search technology, including voice-based search. It gives users access to "tens of thousands" of freeware, shareware and for-purchase applications and widgets that don't require an app store nor an approval process. Not getting what you want from your wireless devices? Give Wireless Zone a call.

TIPS: At this week’s meeting we circulated 21 tips total! (10 inside and 11 outside tips). Go Tippers!

DOLLARS IN OUR POCKETS: Please provide Scott Darling your “dollars in your pocket” for the month of November asap!

BUSINESS MIXER: Our Quarterly Business Mixer will be held on December 8^th at Halligan's Hearth and Home in Malvern. (Our meetings will pick up again at the Holiday Inn Express in Exton at our December 15^th meeting.)

QUOTE OF THE WEEK:  In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.

By Tony Robbins

I’m excited for another successful mixer on December 8^th – yay!

See you!

We are thankful for a great group of tippers at LeTip Chester County East (CCE) which hosts its weekly meeting every Tuesday. At our last meeting on Tuesday, November 24, 2009, we had the pleasure of 1 guest:  Mark Fedor of Fedor Fabrications who has been in business renovating kitchens and bathrooms since 1982.

SPEAKERS: Our speakers were:  Nivé Dhanak, along with her business partner Jack Blanton, of JBND Tax Books, Inc.; and Greg Cazillo Website designer.

1^st Speakers:  Jack and Nivé provided us with an overview of JBND Tax Books and the services they offer to small businesses in tax preparation, bookkeeping and accounting. JBND Tax Books’ goal is to simplify their clients’ needs and, toward that end, offer a monthly “Fixed Fee” service. Clients who subscribe to this service can contact JBND all month-long with questions/comments, for one set fee! JBND is proactive with clients and reviews tax projections in advance of IRS deadlines for the year ahead, so that corrective actions can occur before the current year ends. A good lead for JBND is any small business with revenues of $50,000 to $500,000 and up.

2^nd Speaker:  Greg of DX Creative showed us a variety of Websites he recently designed. Greg can design a Website from scratch or he can enhance an existing Website, such as adding an e-commerce component or implementing a Content Management System (CMS) or developing a customized form. Also, Greg can handle the hosting of Websites and can create a Search Engine Optimization (SEO) program to fit just about any budget. He also mentioned it’s important for Websites to contain a “call to action,” for e.g., “Contact us for a free 1-hour consultation.” A good lead for Greg is  any small business in need of a new Website or would like to improve their existing Website.

TIPS: At this week’s meeting we circulated 15 tips total! (9 inside and 6 outside tips). Go Tippers!

DOLLARS IN OUR POCKETS: Please provide Scott Darling your “dollars in your pocket” for the month of November by Tuesday.

BUSINESS MIXER: Our next Quarterly Business Mixer will be held on December 8^th at Halligan's Hearth and Home in Malvern. We need contributions for our prize drawings. Can you help?!
