Behold A New Year!

Tekelia C. Kelly, Founder & CEO-Sisters In Business, Publisher

Welcome back from the holidays! We at Sisters In Business hope you had a lovely Christmas! We have been excitedly awaiting the New Year, and the wonderful opportunity to usher in the new members, services, and events of Sisters In Business for 2007. This past year has been full and fulfilling; and I personally am approaching the New Year with reflection and refreshment. I am reflecting on all the many wonderful ways God has been good and faithful in 2006; and refreshing my mind anew to receive the new things of His will for the New Year. Though I have never seen 2007, I know that God has. So, once again, I will acknowledge Him, and look to Him to direct my paths. He can reveal to me the new things of His will for this blessed New Year. [KJV: Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. (Isaiah 43:19)]

Bloomfield, CT Joins SIB!

Ruby Claytor, Founder and Owner of Woman of Hope Counseling in Bloomfield, Connecticut has joined the Sisters In Business Network.  Ruby's membership marks the first out-of-state client in the Sisters In Business Network; and serves as a major milestone for bringing into fruition the company's vision to connect women in small businesses with customers inside their communities, as well as connect women in small business around the world.

Congratulations, Ruby, and thank you for your partnership. We appreciate your insight and are one with your vision.  Like you said. "You never know when someone may relocate, or would like information about Woman Of Hope"; and that "Sisters In Business could certainly work in Connecticut".

Stay tuned for Ruby Claytor and Woman Of Hope's debut article in upcoming issue of the Sisters In Business.Net Newsletter.

How To Get More Customers In 2007
 

Customer Referrals
 

Customers Are Looking  for Businesses Online

Phone calls, emails, and person-to-person requests from customers seeking businesses, or needed products and services are received ongoingly at Sisters In Business; like the one received a few days ago from a woman originally from San
Antonio, Texas. She had relocated to Atlanta,
Georgia, and now lives in Calhoun, Georgia.  She has found herself in need of a local beautician.

During the  phone conversation, she explained how she and her girlfriend who had also relocated from San Antonio had both been looking for a local beautician.  Our caller went on to say how she had been on the Sisters In Business website and how she thought it was great!  She shared how she was also seeking help and information for getting her own business started.

Like the request received from our valued caller above, we have received inquiries about real estate agents, insurance agents, virtual assistants, baby sitters, florists, doctors, lawyers, accountants, beauticians, and fashion merchandisers since our opening last year in February 2006.

A CNN article  stated that about 80 percent of the Internet users questioned said they expected to find a business with a Web site that will give them information about a product they are considering buying.  The numbers of users grows daily.* (Based on 2002 data.*)  Surely, the number has grown past 80%  to date.

Needless to say, when we get requests for the businesses which we happen to have in our network, it does us proud and we happily refer members in our network to customers.  But there are times when a business that is requested is not in our network.

Therefore, we would like to invite you to join the Sisters In Business Network.  Join today and reap the many benefits of our NAME (networking, advertising, marketing, and empowerment) strategy.  We can help provide you more customer referrals. 

Customers are calling.  They could be calling for you! 

For more information about joining Sisters please email us at sistersinbusiness@comcast.net or call us at 423.421.5646.  Also, feel free to visit us online at www.sistersinbusiness.net.
