"COMMUNICATION"
Dont' just talk!  Be heard.  Get your message out there in a way that is heard and understood! 

Thanking our fellow members is an important part of our weekly meetings.  Keep the following in mind when doing so.

*Along with thanking members for LEADS that they send you, be sure to thank any firms who make purchases from your firm as well.

*Make sure to make mention of the firm name when you thank a person, not just a reps name.

BUSINESS CARDS
If your firm has moved, changed a phone number, email address or had a name change, be sure to bring in new Business Cards.    

Together Thursday - February 16th * 5:00 pm - 9:00 pm
February's Together Tuesday will be held at the Galaxy Theater in University Place followed by a free movie showing.
You must pre-register to attend.  Click here for more details.

It's Cruise Season!  Call Mary Jo at The Travel Company to find out how you can get a great deal on a great trip. The Travel Company can help you with all your travel needs from airfare to cruises and more!  Using a travel agent for booking your airfare is a better idea than doing it yourself via the internet.  The cost of flights change by the minute.  Mary Jo will find you the best deal and offers Tacoma Execs a discounted price of $30 per ticket

Your challenge this week is to refer one potential new customer to The Travel Company.  Refer them to their website at http://www.thetravelcompany.net/ or hand them a business card. 

A Good LEAD For Me!
