Dear SEN Members,


SAM_2010

We finally have the raffle online and it is ready to promote. I hope you are motivated to sell the numbers to make our raffle a success. You have donated such nice gifts, it is well worth the low cost of $12.

 

The tickets can be used as holiday gifts. We have set the raffle date for Christmas. Even though it is a religious day it is known as a day of giving. The prizes could help a small business owner or an unemployed person achieve some of there goals.

 

Not only does the raffle take us forward but we are also having a great line up of social media meetings. Please read down into the email for the up-and-coming meetings.

by Laura Orsini


If you're trying, but seem to be coming up short - or if you're just not sure how to put Facebook to work as the fantastic business tool it can be, this program is for you! Mark your calendars for the Tuesday, December 14 meeting of the Scottsdale Express Network, as Laura Orsini teaches you the ins and outs of using Facebook to build your business.

You will learn:

  • How it's all about the relationships, NOT the selling.
  • The difference between a page and a group.
  • How to use HTML to pretty up your pages.
  • Ideas for campaigns that will build your status as an expert.
You're on Facebook and you have a business - but are you using the relationships you're creating to broaden your client base, extend yourself as an expert, and increase your credibility?

ABWA EDUCATION

 

Did you know that Your ABWA organization has a tuition reimbursement program? You might be able to recover as much as half of your continuing education expense from ABWA. The courses must be accredited, your ABWA group must have contributed $500 to the SBMEF fund the previous year (we did!) and all your ABWA dues must be paid to be eligible.

TREASURER'S REPORT

Is money getting a little tight?

 

man on moneyHas the recession hit you too? Well, SEN is also feeling a pinch. We have some annual expenses coming up, and no money. We really need your help in making our on-line raffle a success so that we can get ahead of the game.

 

So, if you haven't purchased a ticket, do it now. Talk it up with your contacts. And, if you can, donate a prize. It's good advertising for your business. I know Homeward Bound will appreciate whatever we can donate to them.

 

Promote your business and participate in community involvement at the same time. It's a win-win situation.
