Networking Group Update
It's craft fair time again in Northwest Arkansas. The fall leaves, full hotels, and slow commutes. I can just hear the sound of the crafters spending money here — sales tax that we'll get to enjoy later in the form of roads, services, parks, etc.
This is a great week to learn some new routes for your commute that are off the beaten path. Get out the local map and check them out.
We want to have a little after hours social for our networking groups. Please volunteer to help! Kandi Everhart (Farmers Insurance) thinks she's got a location scoped that is big enough for 75 to 100 people and we've got the karaoke and the sound set up. All we need is some donation of food (maybe grill something) and beverage. Can you help? Worst case, we all come with a snack and a bottle of something, right? E-mail carrie@soarhigher.com if you want to help, donate, or just cheer us on. Date coming soon!
People can now sign up to receive this reminder. They can go to our networking page at the Soar with Eagles website at http://www.soarhigher.com/NetworkingGroups.htm to sign up. If you'd like to update your profile, you can Click here to update your information.

Bottom Line Business Relationships
A U.S. Small Business Administration study found that customers stayed with companies where they felt valued. Another study found that a 5% reduction in customer attrition can result in a 25% to 125% increase in sales. Quality business relationships increase your profit through happier customers and employees.
The relationship is the currency in today's rapidly changing and competitive business climate. By building a series of meaningful transactions, you can create long-term business relationships that
turn your clients into your marketing and sales force. It's nice to have friends but it's priceless to have fans who rave about your company to their friends.
The seminar covers these topics:
Leading meaningful conversations that turn prospects into clients
Creating customer dialogue that creates lifelong business relationships
Motivating clients and employees to tell their friends about your company
Creating a customer experience that your clients will rave about
Maintaining confidence
