I originally joined when invited to the Riverside BNI chapter in Essex to get to know other businessmen and women in my area, expand my sources of services I'm always asked in my service to buyers and sellers of real estate, and to obtain referrals to expand my business. What I did not expect was the motivation to improve on some things in my own life and to find people in business genres that I wanted to do business with. 

As I listened to Dianne Vizzo from the Hillcrest Agency in Centerbrook, CT speak each week it dawned on me how unhappy I was that my current P&C insurance broker was not coming back to me with more competitive pricing for all of my insurance. So I gave all of what Dianne asked for from me and reached out to her to see if she could save me money while maybe even improving my coverage. Why not? You don't get what you don't ask for.

In a few days and after replying to several more questions as Dianne was working it for me, I received a request to meet in person. I visited Dianne in her Centerbrook office and met her key employee Seana, who was just as pleasant and on her game. 

Suffice it to say I was delighted to hear that she saved me $2,000 per year and with better coverage and deductibles!! Fantastic. 

Moral of the story. It will not cost you a nickel to call Dianne and ask her to do the same for you. If she can't, you've made a new friend and you'll never know when you'll need one.
