The Elite Alliance Masters

The Elite Alliance Masters Last year, members of BNI passed 4.9 million referrals which generated nearly two billion dollars (U.S.) worth of business for the members! Many have.

Belonging to BNI is like having dozens of sales people working for you because each chapter member's goal is to help each other grow their businesses - Givers Gain. BNI is a business and professional networking organization that allows only one person per professional classification or specialty to join a chapter. Would you like to increase your business by 20%, 30%, 50% or as much as 100%? You ca

n see results like this! Some participants have added as many as 50 new clients in the first 2 years!!! Successful businesses depend on word of mouth. Word-of-mouth advertising is the best advertising there is. BNI provides a structured and supportive system of giving and receiving business. It does so by providing an environment in which you develop personal relationships with dozens of other qualified business professionals. By establishing this "formal" relationship with other people, you will have the opportunity to substantially increase your business.

🏡 Power Team in Action!

Our BNI Power Team, live in action!🤝

Today, I had the opportunity to step outside our weekly meeting and see three of our own members doing what they do best — working together, supporting one another, and serving their clients.

🔑 Kimberly Tobias Lewis – Real Estate Innovations
🏡 Michelle Compton – Sterling Settlement Services
💰 Joe Gillis – CLG Home Loans

These three represent exactly what makes BNI so powerful. They don't just pass referrals around a table — they build relationships, collaborate, and create a network of professionals who can help their clients every step of the way.

Today, I had the pleasure of visiting their open house, and watching this Power Team in action. It was awesome to see the teamwork, professionalism, and genuine support they have for one another.

This is what inspires our chapter.

This is the Power of BNI.
We grow stronger when we grow together.
We refer. We support. We collaborate. We GROW. 💪

Small Talk = Small Results?

This morning, Joe Gillis gave us some great networking education on small talk—and what happens when we get stuck there.

Small talk isn’t bad. In fact, it can be the doorway to a meaningful business relationship. It helps us break the ice, find common ground, and make people feel comfortable.

Small talk should be a doorway, not a destination.
When we stay on the surface, we may have a pleasant conversation, but we may miss the opportunity to truly connect, learn how we can help someone, or discover a great referral.

Try taking the conversation one step further:

💬 “I’ve been thinking about what you said last time.”
💬 “That idea you shared really stuck with me.”
💬 “What’s something good that’s been keeping you busy?”
💬 “How can I help you?”
💬 “What can I do to assist you?”
The goal isn’t to have more conversations. It’s to have better conversations.
!!!!This Week’s BNI Challenge!!!!

🎯 Have 3 conversations.
❓ Ask 1 better question.
🤝 Help 1 person.
Sometimes the most valuable connection starts with something as simple as, “So, how are you?” but it becomes meaningful when we take the time to really listen to the answer.
Don’t get stuck in small talk. Open the door ,Connect, Listen, Help, Grow.

🔥 Meet This Week’s Featured Presenter: Michelle Compton!

There are some people who walk into a room and immediately make their presence loudly known.... and then there’s Michelle Compton of Sterling Settlement Services.

Michelle may seem quiet, reserved, and even a little timid when you first meet her—but don’t let that fool you. She is a quiet bombshell. 💥

Behind that soft-spoken personality is an incredible amount of passion, knowledge, and FIRE for what she does. Michelle knows the importance of getting the details right and helping her clients navigate one of the most important parts of a real estate transaction: the settlement.

This week, Michelle is stepping into the spotlight as our "Featured Presenter", and you are NOT going to want to miss what she has to share!

🏡 Michelle is looking to connect with:
• Real Estate Investors
• Landlords & Property Owners
• Home Buyers & Sellers
• Realtors & Real Estate Professionals
• Mortgage Lenders & Loan Professionals
• Commercial Property Professionals
• Anyone purchasing, selling, refinancing, or investing in real estate

Whether you're involved in your first home purchase, an investment property, a refinance, or a commercial transaction, having the right settlement professionals in your corner matters. Sterling Settlement Services works with residential and commercial transactions, investment properties, refinances, and more.

So come ready to listen, learn, and CONNECT!

Michelle may seem quiet—but her passion for what she does is anything but. 🔥

Help us give Michelle a warm BNI welcome as she takes the spotlight this week!

🤝 **More Than Business. It’s About People. **

Behind every business is a person. A story. A passion. A reason they chose to build something of their own.

Today, our BNI chapter came together virtually—not just to talk business, referrals, and opportunities, but to connect, learn from one another, and support the people behind the businesses we represent.

We may come from completely different industries, but we share something important:

**We believe that when we help one another grow, our entire business community grows with us.**

This is what BNI is about.
Building relationships.
Creating connections.
Celebrating one another's wins.
And looking for ways to **Givers Gain.** 💙

🎉 COME ON DOWN! 🎉

This morning's BNI meeting had all the excitement of The Price Is Right as our featured presenter, Kimberly Tobias Lewis with Real Estate Innovations, invited everyone to "Come on down!" for her Real Estate Edition of the classic game show! 🏡🎯

From guessing home values to testing our real estate knowledge, there were plenty of laughs, friendly competition, and valuable takeaways. The only thing we didn't give away was a new car! 🚗😂

At BNI, every meeting is packed with education, referrals, and relationships that are truly priceless. If you're looking to grow your business while having a little fun along the way, we'd love to have you visit!
