Success Stories

Gina Dustin, Northern Appraisal Services:

" I originally joined Amspirit for inspirational motivation. I have never been self-employed before and sought comfort from peers experiencing the same obstacles and challenges. However, once I got comfortable and networking with my chapter members and visiting other chapters, I quickly realized that the organization strives by helping each other and urging each other on to be the best they can be. I have not only received good, qualified leads that have turned into business but I have also received advice from other professionals on where to go or find other sources for leads. I have also been able to talk to referral sources that I would not have been able to get in front of on my own. Amspirit has a strong presence in Columbus and when you mention you're with Amspirit those who recognize the name or are associated take the time to help.

I have also realized that you get out of it what you put into it. If you are willing to take the time to network, you receive the rewards. Also, helping others is just as important as working for yourself. We all win when we work together.

Approximately 20% of our direct consumer business has been acquired through Amspirit leads. "

Andrew Hewer of Resource Packaging:

" Beginning a new job in sales, I decided to join AmSpirit. Within 2 months of joining I doubled by customer base and the resulting sales commission more than paid for the Membership Dues. This group is a must for anyone starting in a sales career or the seasoned professional that needs to jump-start their monthly sales volume. With AmSpirit you’re not only making lasting Business contacts but also your also making friends along the way! "

Erik Thompson of Edward Jones Investments:

" I have been in AmSpirit (formerly NPI) for over four years now. During this time, I can attribute a significant amount of new business from referrals and networking opportunities the group has provided me. As a financial advisor, most of my business is referral based, and AmSpirit has proved invaluable. AmSpirt referrals generally turn out to be clients, and now these clients are giving me referrals. As an estimate, I've generated at least 50 new clients totaling at least $5,000,000 in assets due to AmSpirit. "

Tom Thompson, Star Cleaning Systems:

" I have been a member of Easton chapter of AmSpirit Business Connections since 2003. My company secured over $15,000 in new business within the first six months of membership. AmSpirit has proved to be valuable resource in growing sales by introducing to me people I might not have met otherwise. I also have a sense of pride in helping others increase their sales. I highly recommend AmSpirit Business Connections to any sales and marketing professional or business owner regardless their level, size of business or industry. "

Darrek Robertson of imageartist.net:

" Since joining NPI Easton in January of 2001, I have found that being at the NPI Easton meetings, does two things for my business. The first is I now have access to business professionals in different industries, that I can ask questions that would effect my business. The second is that I am genuinely concerned about the members in my group, our energy is like a boardroom of experts "

Kathy Raush of Interactive Ink:

" Joining NPI has been both enjoyable and profitable for my company. Through the relationships I have built by being a member and going to my weekly chapter meeting, I have met and done business with companies that I would not have met if not for the referrals through NPI members. Within my first year of joining, I have generated thousands of dollars in business as a direct result of NPI.
Being an NPI member is fun, it's a lot of work to stay involved and it has been great for our bottom line! "

Kathy Raush of Interactive Ink:

" It is safe to say that Interactive Ink has generated about 60K in business from being involved in NPI for the last 2 years. We belong to 3 different groups. Easton's group accounts for about 45K of that! "
