BNI By Referral Chapter - Baton Rouge La.

Mr. Ed brought the room to life today with his featured 10-minute presentation.

He didn’t just share what he does… he made sure nobody forgot it. Clear message. Real value. And a delivery that had the whole room laughing while learning at the same time.

That’s how you stand out in business.
Be memorable. Be sharp. Be someone people want to refer.

If you missed it, you missed a good one.

If you’ve ever needed an 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗻 who knows his stuff and shows up ready to solve problems—not create them—Tim’s your guy.

From permanent outdoor lighting, troubleshooting, repairs, to full installs, he keeps things running smoothly and safely… and as he says,💡 “𝗪𝗲’𝗹𝗹 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗶𝘁.”
(And yes… he delivers on that.)

💬 No fluff. No wasted mornings. Just 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗹𝘀 and people who actually want to help your business grow.

Nothing brings people together like 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘄𝗳𝗶𝘀𝗵, 𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗿, and a whole lot of 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 🦞🔥

A huge THANK YOU to Jacob Couvillion with 𝗡𝗼𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘆’𝘀 for hosting us and serving up some seriously 𝘁𝗼𝗽-𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘄𝗳𝗶𝘀𝗵. Y’all showed out, and we appreciate it more than you know!
