Welcome to the First May 2004 edition of the GO Newsletter.
Tele-seminar Schedule Set
As a result of your suggestions, we have determined the
topics for our next few sessions. We want you to be
involved in GO and to participate in these teleseminars, in
order to maximize the value of your membership investment.
On May 28 the topic will be "How to Gain Exposure and
Credibility with Effective Public Relations." These are
available free to GO members and $10 for others. Upcoming
topics include “How to Maximize Profits by Negotiating Like
a Pro” on June 25, “How to Get More People to Respond to
Your Promotions” on July 30 and “How to Create a Popular
and Profitable Cruise “on August 27. Each session lasts
approximately 45 minutes and begins at 12:00 Central time.
Go to www.goexperience.com and click on the Teleconference
Series button on the left side of the site to register.
CDs of each are available for sale on the GO site for $12
if you are unable to attend.
Our last session was with Mary Hazzard and outlined all of
the savings available to members using our Business
AdvantEdge business services program. These include
discounts on a variety of travel items, as well as Office
Depot, Hewlett-Packard and Compaq computers, UPS overnight
shipping and more. We negotiated this program with Mary's
company and we even learned some new things from the
session. Details of the program are on the web site, or
you may want to pick up the CD if you are a verbal learner.
Travel Insurance
We have just received our first travel insurance referral
fee check and will be disbursing over $300 this month to GO
members who are selling it. Joan Gibson from American
Trust & Savings Bank earned $210 this month!
