🌟 What does it look like to have a trusted referral partner? Hear it from Doug Jones of Maine Community Bank.

"Kirk Butterfield is one of the finest commercial real estate brokers I've ever worked with... a wealth of knowledge, patient, and willing to teach."

Whether you're selling a business, investing in real estate, or looking for owner-occupied space, Kirk of KW Commercial brings the experience (including serving as president of the Commercial Real Estate Association) to guide you through it.

That's the power of BNI: members who know each other's businesses and are ready to send great people their way.

Recently, we celebrated Edmund Ricker with Stackin’ Cheddah
Financial Coaching.

Here is what Darragh Fitzgerald has to say about his services:

"l recently sat down with Ed Ricker of Stackin’ Cheddah Financial Coaching, and he made managing money feel a lot less overwhelming. He helped me spot monthly expenses that weren’t worth what I was paying and showed me simple ways to start saving, build an emergency fund, and plan for the future.

Ed is easy to talk to, explains things clearly, and makes you feel comfortable asking questions. If you want to get a better handle on your money but aren’t sure where to start, I’d highly recommend meeting with him!

- Darragh"

Last week, we celebrated Dan Kennedy, our florist at Harmons Floral Company.

He has 2 locations in Portland and Westbrook and is known for creating personalized living gifts for events of all types from birthdays to weddings to funerals. 🌼🌹

He has donated thousands of dollars worth of flowers to boost his community and make the world a more beautiful place ✨️🌷

And, he is a wonderful human being to boot ❤️

Many of us at Portland Business Builders BNI - Portland, ME USA have done business with Dan!

See what Becky Longacre has to say about flowers for her mom:

"I got flowers for my mom's birthday. what I noticed was Dan asked me what her favorite color was, her favorite style and what her favorite flowers were. He was able to deliver them on her birthday. She saw how personalized the bouquet was and she loved them!"

Check out his page to see about fall arrangements!

When Dan bought the business many years ago, one of the first marketing actions he took was to join BNI Maine becuase he knew how personalized networking would help to grow his business.
