BNI Alive Brings Together Local Biz Owners

IN THE PINK

Three business owners attired in pink attended BNI Alive at the Government Center in Stamford this morning, including: Sandra Long, a resident of Westport, a member of Fairfield BNI, and Principal of Post Road Consulting LLC, a social media firm specializing in LinkedIn training; Peter Flierl, a resident of Greenwich, Founder & CEO of Broccoli Soup, a copy writing and social media management firm based in Greenwich and Manhattan; and Victoria Vandamm, a resident of Norwalk and Principal of Vandamm Interiors, an interior design firm based in Greenwich for 30 years and now located in Stamford.

The featured speaker at today’s meeting was Rocco Panetta, a resident of Ridgefield and Owner of Ridgefield Contracting. Panetta used a BNI Alive Facebook page to illustrate his work, a visual demonstration of his work and of the power of social media in today’s business world. Panetta is a combination of artist and contractor who can build custom kitchens, cabinets, and baths along with painting and faux painting. In a past life, he was a drummer for Cheryl Crow before she hit big time.

Having recently talked with a condo owner attending a Boston Home Show about an ice dam destroying the walls and kitchens in six units, we were intrigued with Rocco’s seasonal specialty, namely, removal of ice dams using steam and/or torches. Better yet, ask him about adding ice dam prevention systems to your home or business, such as slab heating and edge of roof warmers.

BNI Alive meets every Tuesday morning in the Cafeteria of the Government Center from 7:45 AM to 9:15 AM to build long term collaborative relationships and grow business. If you are a business owner looking for a collegial atmosphere in which to gain or grow your business, drop in on Tuesday morning or contact John Anello, President of BNI Alive and Owner of Safe & Sound Electric at 203-536-0021 or e-mail john@safeandsoundelectric.com
