Jeff Cook With “Farmer Insurance”
Jeff spoke about:

Umbrella Pollicies
Typical Auto Policy covers:
liability, comprehensive, medical, collision, rental car, and uninsured

Typical Home Policy covers:
personal property, dwelling, liability, seperate structure, loss of use

Umbrellas only cover liability. What is Liability? Liability is when you cause bodily injury or property damage. Umbrella policies kick in and cover additional liabilty once your initial policies have paid out their maximums.

Sheila Baker of “Ambassadors Providing Amazing Care”
Sheila spoke about the importance of providing in-home care for the elderly and to make their last years of their life as comfortable as possible. To illustrate, she gave an example of an 85 year old woman who’s family felt it was time to clear out her surroundings. Unfortunately due to the disruption of her environment the woman became depressed and died only days later.

Roberta Brunett with “Your HomeTown Sewing Center”
Roberta spoke about the decisions we make as children and how it effects our adult life. In Roberta’s case she recalls life in the third grade and how she was fascinated with history (the origins of things) and loved learning to count money and organizing. Fifty years later she finds her self running a sewing retail store which requires her to organize materials, research the origins of specific textiles and how common patterns developed. She also related an interesting fact about how the textiles industry gave birth to the first computer systems.

In an effort to find the absolute perfect place to hold our Thursday morning breakfast business tip meetings, we tryed out Monterey Pines Golf Course. We (LeTip of Monterey) had our business sales leads exchange meeting there three times and loved it. The service was fantastic and they enjoyed having us. But as the saying goes, “All good things..” It seems they are revamping the entire golf course as well as the restaurant, so they need to close and remain closed until 2009. So we our now back to our Carrows Montery location.

If you have a business you’d like to promote join us for a free breakfast, and bring plenty of business cards to pass out. See ya there.

Address: Carrows 300 David Ave. Monterey CA 93940
When: Every Thursday 7:00am - 8:31am

"Joining LeTip a little over a year ago was the best business move I made all year. After a few short weeks the business started coming in. Now that I have built quality relationships with fellow members, my sales through LeTip leads grossed over $250,000.00 in my 1st quarter, and to date, just over $360,000.00. If you are looking for a great sales force without having to hire a single person, make sure you join the LeTip family.", Rick Davis, SOS Staffing Services, LeTip of Reno

"I recently attended a Network Training Seminar run by Gary Coon, our Regional Director. It has changed me in many ways, including how I conduct my business and how I support LeTip. I am now sponsoring members and have a new outlook on my business and LeTip. Our members have been working hard to grow our chapter and I believe we will have a strong, and successful chapter very soon.", David J Fielding Sr., Fielding Construction, Inc., Merrimack Valley Executives

"Linda and I enjoyed and learned immensely from your Network Training Seminar.  LeTip has increased our gift basket business significantly and the Northampton Chapter is now our extended and loyal family.  We are ecstatic over the various professions within our organization to which we can give referrals and also to help further the success of our own business.  In the future we would like to train people in the gift basket business and now we have the resources to do so.  We appreciate and feel honored to belong to LeTip., John and Linda Janson, All-Seasons Gift Baskets, LeTip of Northampton

"I am one of those who believes that networking is essential for building solid relationships with other business people, with my colleagues and with my customers. I have been able to settle over $1,000,000 in loans this year so far. Isn’t that worth getting up early every Tuesday? Sure, networking isn’t for everyone. My secret is that I try to give the group more than I get. Some people call it good Karma, I call it good networking.", Saul Rivkin, Beneficial Savings Bank, LeTip of Chester County East

"Going to my weekly LeTip meeting is like picking up a paycheck! I like to use my LeTip membership to its fullest by visiting other chapters in my area where my category is open. It gives me the chance to meet other members and expand my networking circle. With LeTip, there’s no cold-calling. Even contacting guests after a meeting is warm because you have something in common! I have really become a source for referrals with my customers and friends. They know that through LeTip, I can help them find the perfect qualified business to fulfill their needs.", Teri Grubbs, PostNet store owner, Coeur d’Alene/Hayden Afternoon LeTip

"Every month LeTip puts me in touch with at least 3 new clients or brings me a new referral source that I did not have before. Anybody in a business that has their income directly related to their production needs to belong to an organization like this. LeTip is the best marketing money I’ve ever spent.", Aaron Heimowitz, Wells Fargo, LeTip of Princeton
