Springfield, MO, May 06, 2009 --(
PR.com)-- What makes the difference for the Bigger Net Income chapter of Business Networking International? They will tell you it is personal relationships. George J Lamelza III, chapter President and President of Team Media LLC says “it all about building personal relationships with other members and closing business. Our chapter year to date has closed nearly $3.6 million dollars in business among 37 small business owners, operators, and sales personnel. Since joining BNI nearly two years ago, BNI has become one of my biggest clients providing nearly 15% of Team Media's business income. Those referrals and subsequent sales are a result of personal relationships”
With the uncertain economy, business and individual spending slowing, who will people spend their money with? George J Lamelza III says it will be with those businesses who have built personal relationship networks. “In the market where big business starts to fall, we revert from the bigger is better to whom can we trust? In our group you can trust people like Stephanie Baldwin with Commerce Bank or David Haymes with Haymes Insurance, people who will offer the best solution to you because they know you, and have accountability to nearly 40 other members.”
