Presenters: Various members spoke briefly about the what they’ve gotten out of NRG membership:
Chris: Being an NRG member has helped him with public speaking, and he’s also become known as the one who ‘knows a guy/gal’ since he’s always recommending other members to family, friends and customers.
Lou: He talked about the value of our weekly meetings and how the group is his marketing team. He also keeps an ear out for opportunities he can pass along to other members.
Kurt: Return On Investment - ROI. Since 2018, he’s paid $2,500 in dues and but he’s earned over $50,000 in commissions - in his words, his NRG membership has been the best marketing investment of his career! He also highlighted our weekly Marketing Minutes and their value; he learns something new every week that he can apply to his business.
Regina: As NRG’s newest member, she’s gotten so much out of the one on one meetings in getting to know other members so she can make quality referrals for them.
