Any one of you can hold this type of event.  Go to your local SAM's CLUB and talk with the Marketing Membership Manager.  I held a breakfast, tour and information event at my local SAM's CLUB this morning at 8AM.  Greg is the Manager of the Membership at this club.  All of the staff helps and greets you and your attendees with warm smiles.  I invitied my family, friends, clients and vendors.  It is a good time for them to all mix in and meet eachother.  We were escorted upstairs to the community meeting room.  We had a table full of goodies.  Coffee, of course, fruit salad, egg & sausage sandwiches, water bottles and fruit bottles.  I had been to this room before for community meetings that SAM's CLUB hosts.  Always good to meet fellow members who are businesses.

After we finished with the delicious breakfast, we went on a tour of the facility.  There were even things that I didn't know.  Surprise!  The pharmacist, Tom, gave us his presentation on saving monies on medicines and everyone was given a list of the products and prices.  Both prescription drugs and over the counter items are priced below retail for the members. Tom is patient and courteous.

We went back to the bakery, yum!  Yes, they had a snack for us, too!  The cakes, cookies and pies are made by SAM's, and are delicious.  The prices are much lower than at a grocery store.  Some of my clients noticed that the portions were larger:)

Next through the meat, and on to the fruit.  Again, all priced below retail.  All fresh product.  Greg, the Manager, let us know, that if you purchased a roast and were not satisfied with it, that they would refund your monies. Apparently, they do that on all of their products.  Customer satisfaction is Number One, and

they mean it. If you have the product and don't need it, don't want it, bring it back.  If it is over 90 days, they will not reimburse you for the state tax portion of your purchase, but, they will for the product! 

Without giving away all of the surprises, I just want to let you all know, that you can host a client event.  Invite your clients and vendors.  In this economy, when we are all trying to make ends meet, SAM's Club offers wonderful savings on food, clothing, electronics, prescriptions, eyeglasses (my clients tried them on, see the little guy behind the table) and tires for your vehicles.  Call your local SAM's CLUB and ask for the Membership Manager.  They will be happy to help you become a more, trusted advisor to your clients!  Make sure everyone comes, hungry! 

Thanks to Greg, Bill, Ralph, Marie and Jeff. Thank you to my clients who took the tips, me to learn about the SAM's Secrets!  My event was a success, because of all of you!  Best of luck to Cindi, the new business member manager!

It's a Good Life!
