In her own words...

Just So! - InSights Group Testimonial One cold February morning this year, I dragged myself out of my comfy warm bed because my Xerox Sales Representative had, already last year, invited me to a “Business Networking” meeting. Since it was a 7 a.m. meeting and I am not a morning person, it took me a while to take her up on her offer. Yet since that cold February morning, there is not a week that has gone by where I have not been to some meeting or other at InSights Group. From a 7 am Net Shui – Business Networking Meeting to the 6:30 pm Toastmasters Meetings, there is something for me every day, if I care to attend. This also includes non-business events like “Open Mike Night” for comedy and music, Yoga Class for stretching the physical along with the mental, Book Club for interesting discussion, and “Café InSights” for philosophical enlightenment. My company, Just So!, has participated in several “Ladies Nights” sponsored by InSights. We have made numerous connections, many of which I am sure that we have not yet seen the full scope of. Even just having a member listing on their website gives us yet another place that we are linked into the cyberworld. InSights Group is a great place to just chill and get a cup of tea or coffee. After a bad storm recently, it was a place to work while they got the power back up at the office. It is also the place to bounce ideas and listen to the challenges in other businesses. It’s amazing how a totally different business can face a challenge that gives me ideas to apply to my own business. For example, Just So! was preparing to put an ad into a National Magazine. This was a major investment for us. By showing our various layout ideas at a networking meeting, where there were no other jewelry designers or manufacturers, we received some surprising feedback. As one example, we used words in the ads that meant nothing extra to our audience. What a waste of space that would have been! If you’ve not yet attended some InSights events (http://www.insights-group.com/), do yourself a favor and get to know a different view on the world.
