This week we are happy to feature Bailey's Burgers as our Member Monday! Bailey's Burgers was established in the spring of 2011 as a farm to table burger stand serving delicious, rockin' good burgers and more to the Kyle area.

Mia Hendricks, Director of Operations for Bailey's Burgers, had this to say about the Kyle Chamber: "Joining the Kyle Area Chamber of Commerce helps us to continue opening doors in our community. The Chamber has also provided invaluable networking opportunities. Often times making some of our staff reach beyond their previous comfort levels. The Chamber and its members have been so welcoming and especially supportive the last couple of months.  Without you guys and your continuous encouragement through not only the good times, but the difficult times - we would be struggling.  Frank is so appreciative to you all and so happy to be back recovering in the kitchen.  He is working to bring you the best burger, not just in our Simply Charming town, but in Central Texas."

Bailey's Burgers is proud to serve burgers made from fresh cut, Texas-raised cattle, freshly ground daily from a local meat market. They serve delicious salads, sandwiches, vegetarian options and various sides, using fresh, locally grown produce throughout.

Bailey's is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., select Friday nights during race season and on "random nights" throughout the year.  Come out, have lunch and try one of the best burgers you will ever eat, a top pick mentioned on MIX 94.7 FM on the "JB and Sandy Morning Show."

Cold Calling vs Social Media - Lead Generation

Cold calling is dead, Social Media is the future. Social Media is interesting but will never drive B2B leads. The Internet is filled with articles certifying all sides of the argument.   This is obviously a topic that draws a lot of passion.
No one wants cold calling to die more than sales people. Cold calling has always been the most repulsive of jobs for the sales rep. Social media just seems so nice, sit at your computer, scroll through your Facebook, update your LinkedIn profile and send a tweet about an upcoming seminar.
