Sisters In Business is pleased to announce the joining of its newest "sister in business" member, Mrs. Jacquelyn Payne, Owner & Vice President of East Tennessee Black Pages & NMP Information Services.  Jacquelyn is the first to join the Sisters In Business Network from outside of Chattanooga, Tennessee area, marking SIB's reach and growth to outlying communities and other cities like Knoxville, TN, with potential connectivity with sister cities such as Atlanta and others in Georgia. 

Jacquelyn (Jackie) is married to Kenneth (Pacino) Payne Sr. who is the President of NMP.  Their Jacquelyn's East Tennessee Black Pages was formally known as the Knoxville Black Pages, a  community directory and information guide covering all of East Tennessee. 

Jackie earlier resided in Knoxville, Tennessee, where she and her husband Ken serviced the Knoxville area primarily.  Now located in Georgia, NMP services Knoxville and East Tennessee. 

Given our world of technology and innovation today it is now very possible for us to market and operate our businesses "virtually" from and to  any where.  This enables us to expand our base, cover new territories, and widen our networking relationships--as is the case with Sisters In Business and NMP Information Services.

A visit to Jackie and Ken's website would invite you to browse around its warm domain and enlighten you as to the purpose of its online community--to keep those in their community connected.  We welcome Jackie to the Sisters In Business Network.  Her values for connecting people: the community and the customer is very much in keeping with Sisters In Business' philosophy and mission.  It is with that we say to our new Business Client that we are happy to be your connection to other "sisters in business", who like you, have a heart and soul for taking care of business.  Please click here to find out more about our new SIB Business Client at www.sistersinbusiness.net.
