BNI+18 months=$230,000

Tracy — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 12:56:16 +0000

BNI is a business networking group that meets once a week for 90 minutes in nearby locales. The focus of BNI is to develop trust and relationships with other professionals to give business referrals. Only one profession can be represented in each chapter.

Iron River joined BNI in February of 2009. In the last 18 months we have received leads that have generated over $230,000 in business that we would not have had otherwise. Our firm has been growing consistently in one of the worst economic times for the construction industry. Part of that growth we can attribute directly to BNI.

We also now have become a great resource for our friends, family and customers when they need help finding reputable companies in many different industries-whether it’s landscaping, buying a car, finding an insurance agent or a web designer, just to name a few.

A big THANK YOU to Lezlie Green of the Promotion Group and Cheetah Printing. They have donated boxes and boxes of school supplies, backpacks, water bottles and writing materials to help the children in Afghanistan attend school. The supplies are distributed by Army personnel when on patrol, or when working with locals to improve schools, hospitals or the community. We’ve been sending soccer balls and toys to both Afghanistan and Iraq for a while, but when we asked for a little help on writing supplies, they rose to the occasion magnificently. If you want to donate additional supplies, feel free to contact the office. Pens, pencils, crayons, soccer balls, beanie babies, matchbox cars and candy are always favorites. Used items in good condition are welcome.

Testimonial-Minnetonka

They were fast to respond, they explained the projected fully. They were able to do the job when I needed, they showed up on time and finished as scheduled. They were neat, did not cause any damage to the landscaping and they cleaned up completely once done. Their follow up with the guarantee was quick and professional. I will highly recommend this company to my family and friends.

Certified Woman Owned Business (WBE)

Tracy — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 18:29:49 +0000

Iron River has been certified as a Woman Owned Business Enterprise. The state of Minnesota has a long and arduous process (takes about 6 months) to determine if a company is qualified to be designated as a WBE. Many documents are required and the interview process is lengthy. We are pleased to now be able to bid on projects that require a certain percentage of women or disadvantaged businesses. We are also part of the CERT program, (Central Certification Program-sponsored by the City of Minneapolis, the City of St. Paul, Hennepin County and Ramsey County.)

Saturday Re-cap

The Home and Landscape Expo had a great turnout on Saturday. Lots of folks turned out to see new products, ideas, and some very informative lectures on how to take care better care of your home and environs.

Grace Church was a lovely venue, and the way they had the Expo laid out was sensible and very visitor friendly.

We ran into a few former customers, and it’s always nice to hear how happy they were with our work, and that they’d like a bid from us for their next home improvement project.
