Bellingham Cuppa Joe for Service Providers

Meet for coffee or tea with AllBusiness.com's Sales Coach, Lori Richardson and learn about how Biznik works and can help your solo business or small business grow. Meet others from the Bellingham area in this first B'ham event.

Anyone who is a service provider to other businesses (graphic designers, business consultants, marketing folks, financial wizards, and others are welcome to attend. If you work with people rather than companies (healing arts, sales, etc) you are welcome too.

Come out early and make some new contacts. We'll talk about how to build an alliance of business owners who can refer business to others without mandatory meetings, oaths, dues or other distractions.

  Please spread the word! There are a lot of free agents in Bellingham who are not on Biznik yet so won't know about it - grassroots effort here!

  I've enjoyed attending many great Biznik events in the Seattle area and worked to get things going when I was in San Francisco a year ago.

  It will be great meeting more biz owners here.

  I'm looking forward to it, Lori, and tapping into your expertise and wisdom.

  We're also excited to meet you on this coming Monday. Thank you for your advice to create an event so that other Bellinghamsters know about it.

  I will need to get on the road at 8:30AM now due to a meeting "down south" but I trust that within an hour we will all get to talk further about how we can connect and anyone is welcome to stay till 9 or longer.

  An opportunity has come up to do a workshop in Oregon with some potential funders, so I have to leave town today and must cancel my participation in your event. I know it will be a great information sharing success, and I look forward to being at the next one!

  I'm so glad to see an event in Bellingham! Unfortunately, I cannot attend this one, but will look forward to meeting some of you at future events. I'd enjoy connecting with other Bizniks and indies "up north."
