Marie-anne Rouse (Independent Shaklee Distributor)

For giving the most referrals during the month of September, 2009, the recipient of the Notable Networker Award was given to Marie-anne.  She believes that the best way to give referrals is to genuinely listen to people as you never know when their needs can be turned into a referral to a fellow BNI member.









Summer Colquette (Time Warner Cable)

For giving the most referrals during the month of August, 2009, Summer is the recipient of the Notable Networker Award.  Her "secret to success" is that she never stops talking with people.

These are the recipients of the Notable Networker Award for the Month of July 2009 for giving the most referrals.  It was a 4 way tie!  Congratulations to all of you and keep up the networking.  Mark shared with us how he is able to give so many referrals.....by always listening to the needs of his clients.  And, thinking of how their needs match with the services/ products being offered by members of the Kona Krew chapter.
