I recently joined the Home Builders Association of Louisville . . .I joined because looking through the directory there are 2400 members .. . 1 roof cleaning company, 6 power/pressure washing companies, and 20 some odd lawn and landscape companies . . .. I thought to my self. . . Am i better then them and can i out sell them? HELL YES I CAN!!!!
The best part came at the Christmas party this past friday when i asked a 23 year member of the association how many members in my line of work are actually active and do stuff in the org. his answer . . . ."I couldn't tell you a single one - lawn landscape power wash or roof cleaning" This member just so happens to be the CEO of the main Corp sponsor of the org! he was a great guy and is the president of the Associate members committee.
The next day I wanted to send him an e mail thanking him for being so nice and welcoming me into the club
this was my e-mail TO Joe
Joe,
Just wanted to say it was great meeting you Friday night. You and your wife are very kind and warm hearted people. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your generosity of being open and welcoming me into the association. I can’t think of a better way to come into an association of that size! I can tell that we share that “go get it spirit!” I look forward to talking to you more and hearing stories of your success!
PS I found this article online while looking for your e mail address and I really enjoyed reading it!

DJ. Wow, how professional. You said that is what you are and it sure seems that. Thank you for being so friendly. I will try to promote you as best I can, and I will get you on the mailing list for our Associates Advisory Committee. I think you would really enjoy the work we do on that committee. Thanks for sending the article. It has been awhile since I read it and it does bring a smile to my face.
I hope that the holidays are very enjoyable for you.
