Professionals I Trust and Recommend

I’ve been a member of BNI for five years now. BNI stands for Business Networking International and it’s the largest business networking organization in the world. BNI offers members the opportunity to share ideas, contacts and most importantly, business referrals.

In addition to my regular weekly posts, I’d like to feature one of my fellow BNI members and their business for those readers in the Los Angeles area who are looking for a recommendation to a professional in a particular field of expertise.

The philosophy of BNI is “Givers Gain”. By letting you know about these professionals that I trust and recommend, I hope to be able to refer more business to them.

If you read about a business in this blog whose services you are interested in, feel free to call or email me for questions or for a personal introduction.

Are You Looking for An Interior Designer?

Armida Baylon, Interior Designer, has been in business for 30 years and doing project management for the past 20.   She works in conjunction with contractors and architects to assist in helping her clients make selections and decisions on design implementation.    She also can help a prospective client save money on many aspects of their product selections.

 Here’s my testimonial: The landlord of my office complex mentioned to me that he wanted to update the library area which is along the wall of the walkway from our waiting room to the therapy room. At this point the shelves where dusty and disheveled. Some tenants wanted it removed. I gave the landlord Armida’s name and suggested he give her a call and he did.

Armida totally transformed the shelves of the library from an eyesore to a very pleasing and attractive area. By using art work, vases, and her eye for design, she completely changed the look and feel of the space.  The landlord was very happy and thanked me for the referral.

 Armida will offer a one hour complimentary, no obligation consultation to any of the readers of this blog. Just mention “I heard about you on “Ted’s Tips for Transformation”.   She can be reached at 626-390-3751.

Technology Tuesday: Introduction to Windows 7

In association with the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce, my good friend Jim Locke with ResultWorx will be hosting his weekly Tech Tuesday event with an Introduction to Windows 7 on March 16 at the University Club of Pasadena from 9 to 10:30 a.m. This event is free. I was inspired to create this blog after seeing one of Jim’s seminars on Social Networking.

Specifically, this event will discuss:

• Why you should consider upgrading to Windows 7
• The benefits your organization can expect when updating their desktop environment
• The appropriate time to consider an upgrade in your organization
• An overview of the upgrade process
• How Microsoft Office to leverage the upgrade opportunity for your organization

There will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions and get feedback on the technology issues that you and your organization face.
