The Elite Alliance Masters

The Elite Alliance Masters Last year, members of BNI passed 4.9 million referrals which generated nearly two billion dollars (U.S.) worth of business for the members! Many have.

Belonging to BNI is like having dozens of sales people working for you because each chapter member's goal is to help each other grow their businesses - Givers Gain. BNI is a business and professional networking organization that allows only one person per professional classification or specialty to join a chapter. Would you like to increase your business by 20%, 30%, 50% or as much as 100%? You ca

n see results like this! Some participants have added as many as 50 new clients in the first 2 years!!! Successful businesses depend on word of mouth. Word-of-mouth advertising is the best advertising there is. BNI provides a structured and supportive system of giving and receiving business. It does so by providing an environment in which you develop personal relationships with dozens of other qualified business professionals. By establishing this "formal" relationship with other people, you will have the opportunity to substantially increase your business.

Learning & Growing with Amos McCoy!

I had the opportunity to attend a one-hour session with our BNI member Amos McCoy of McCoy Leadership , focused on The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth. It was stimulating, informative, and genuinely engaging. Amos has a teaching style that keeps you involved and thinking—and his knowledge really shines through!

The 15 Laws include the Law of Environment, Design, Reflection, the Ladder, Trade-Offs, Curiosity, Modeling, Expansion, Contribution, Integrity, Awareness, the Mirror, Consistency, the Rubber Band, and Pain.

We were only able to dive a little deeper into two of the laws today, but even that short time left me wanting to learn more! Amos is offering an 8-week 15 Laws Mastermind that goes deeper into each of these principles and how they can impact personal and professional growth.

I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn from Amos, experience his leadership style, and get to know another one of our BNI members a little better. Always thankful to be part of a group that encourages us to keep learning, growing, and helping one another succeed!🌱

💎 When It Comes to Friends… the Choice Is Crystal Clear! 💎

Today, during a one-to-one with David A. Sagirashvili and Kimberly Tobias Lewis, we decided there was one thing missing from our BNI group… Crystal Pheulpin! ❤️

Crystal, we know you’ve been under the weather and away from the group for a few weeks, and we want you to know that YOU ARE MISSED!! We miss your smile, your energy, your friendship, and especially the shine you bring to our group....✨
.So when we found ourselves standing right in front of your billboard, we knew we had to take the opportunity to send a little The Elite Alliance Masters love your way!

We hope you’re feeling better soon. We’re all rooting for you and looking forward to seeing you back with us!💙😉💎✨

?? WHAT IF THEY SAY NO??
Well… what if you never ask??
This morning’s networking education from Joe Gillis was another great reminder of why we come together in BNI. Inspired by Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Together, Joe challenged us to think about one of the biggest things that can hold us back — the fear of asking and the fear of rejection, because sometimes, the answer will be no, but what happens when we never ask?

That thought carried right into an incredibly powerful 10-minute feature presentation from Damon Christian Albert of Camp Camp Ezri.
Damon gave us a deeper look into the realities many of the children at Camp EZRI have experienced, heartbreaking stories that help explain not only WHAT these children have been through, but WHY Damon is so passionate about creating a place where they can experience hope, safety, healing, and a chance to simply be kids. That is one of the things I love most about BNI, we don't just talk about business, we learn together, we grow together, we listen to each other, we support one another, and sometimes, we walk away reminded that what we do can have an impact far beyond our own businesses.

It also reminded me that asking matters.
So, starting in October and running through December, Camp EZRI will be launching its Top 100 Businesses Campaign — with the goal of bringing 100 businesses together to sponsor one or more children for camp.
Sometimes you have to ask.
Sometimes you hear no, but sometimes… someone says YES!!
That YES can change a child's story.

I'm grateful for this BNI group, for the conversations, the education, the encouragement, and the opportunity to grow alongside people who genuinely care about one another and our community.

This is The Elite Alliance Masters, We don't just network.
We grow together, we give together, and we make a difference together.❤️

🌟 Exciting Meeting Update from The Elite Alliance Masters T.E.A.M.! 🌟

Today, we gathered at Gem's Ale House & Woodfired Kitchen in Greencastle for our monthly in-person networking meeting, and it was a particularly memorable morning! We proudly welcomed three new inductees into our chapter:

🔹 Bronson Musser from Bandit Fireplace
🔹 Geoff Muse from Guilded Painting
🔹 Ruben Ortega with Image 360

A special shoutout to Chuck Boteler from Hagerstown Magazine, who stole the show with his engaging 10 minute Feature Presenter segment! He led us in an exciting game of Jeopardy, where our contestants Jocelyne Melton-Bercaw from Baxter Environmental Group, Inc., David Sagirashvili from Red Oak Insurance and Michelle Compton from Sterling Settlement Serviceswent head-to-head in a battle of wits! 🎉

We also recognized our dedicated members who brought in our newest additions with trophies and applause. This is the true value of BNI—good laughs, valuable education, and powerful networking!

As Joe Gillis reminded us during our networking education moment, inspired by John Maxwell, let’s stop asking "Can I?" and start asking "What's possible?" Together, our group has a B.H.A.G! Big Hairy Audacious Goal!💪✨

🏡 Power Team in Action!

Our BNI Power Team, live in action!🤝

Today, I had the opportunity to step outside our weekly meeting and see three of our own members doing what they do best — working together, supporting one another, and serving their clients.

🔑 Kimberly Tobias Lewis – Real Estate Innovations
🏡 Michelle Compton – Sterling Settlement Services
💰 Joe Gillis – CLG Home Loans

These three represent exactly what makes BNI so powerful. They don't just pass referrals around a table — they build relationships, collaborate, and create a network of professionals who can help their clients every step of the way.

Today, I had the pleasure of visiting their open house, and watching this Power Team in action. It was awesome to see the teamwork, professionalism, and genuine support they have for one another.

This is what inspires our chapter.

This is the Power of BNI.
We grow stronger when we grow together.
We refer. We support. We collaborate. We GROW. 💪

Small Talk = Small Results?

This morning, Joe Gillis gave us some great networking education on small talk—and what happens when we get stuck there.

Small talk isn’t bad. In fact, it can be the doorway to a meaningful business relationship. It helps us break the ice, find common ground, and make people feel comfortable.

Small talk should be a doorway, not a destination.
When we stay on the surface, we may have a pleasant conversation, but we may miss the opportunity to truly connect, learn how we can help someone, or discover a great referral.

Try taking the conversation one step further:

💬 “I’ve been thinking about what you said last time.”
💬 “That idea you shared really stuck with me.”
💬 “What’s something good that’s been keeping you busy?”
💬 “How can I help you?”
💬 “What can I do to assist you?”
The goal isn’t to have more conversations. It’s to have better conversations.
!!!!This Week’s BNI Challenge!!!!

🎯 Have 3 conversations.
❓ Ask 1 better question.
🤝 Help 1 person.
Sometimes the most valuable connection starts with something as simple as, “So, how are you?” but it becomes meaningful when we take the time to really listen to the answer.
Don’t get stuck in small talk. Open the door ,Connect, Listen, Help, Grow.

🔥 Meet This Week’s Featured Presenter: Michelle Compton!

There are some people who walk into a room and immediately make their presence loudly known.... and then there’s Michelle Compton of Sterling Settlement Services.

Michelle may seem quiet, reserved, and even a little timid when you first meet her—but don’t let that fool you. She is a quiet bombshell. 💥

Behind that soft-spoken personality is an incredible amount of passion, knowledge, and FIRE for what she does. Michelle knows the importance of getting the details right and helping her clients navigate one of the most important parts of a real estate transaction: the settlement.

This week, Michelle is stepping into the spotlight as our "Featured Presenter", and you are NOT going to want to miss what she has to share!

🏡 Michelle is looking to connect with:
• Real Estate Investors
• Landlords & Property Owners
• Home Buyers & Sellers
• Realtors & Real Estate Professionals
• Mortgage Lenders & Loan Professionals
• Commercial Property Professionals
• Anyone purchasing, selling, refinancing, or investing in real estate

Whether you're involved in your first home purchase, an investment property, a refinance, or a commercial transaction, having the right settlement professionals in your corner matters. Sterling Settlement Services works with residential and commercial transactions, investment properties, refinances, and more.

So come ready to listen, learn, and CONNECT!

Michelle may seem quiet—but her passion for what she does is anything but. 🔥

Help us give Michelle a warm BNI welcome as she takes the spotlight this week!
