Courtesy Tip of the Week |
Business Etiquette:
Say "please," "thank you," "hello," "Good Morning" and "Good-bye." It's so easy, but many take this for granted.
Also, smile and look interested in
others. Make eye contact and listen! Project a positive, cheerful attitude.

What can Business After Hours do for you?
| 
Click here to RSVP.
Three Reasons You Shouldn't Miss Business After Hours!
1.
Businesses that utilize all of their networking avenues will persevere through a
down economy. Networking is one of the most effective forms of marketing. 2. The 500+
Business Cards tucked away in your desk drawer are doing you no good there. 3.Building
your business contacts will improve sales numbers.
