BNI Networking Professionals

🚁 Sometimes the BEST business connections are the ones you least expect! 🤝

This week’s BNI testimonial comes from Jackson Heller with Heller's Town!

When Jackson first joined BNI, he wasn't quite sure what to expect. As an aerial photographer, his services are a little different from many of the traditional trades represented in the group.

But it turns out, you never know where your next great connection might come from! 👏

One of Jackson’s most unexpected and valuable connections came from Jeff Schepp with Shepy's Auto Body !🚗

What started as a drone photography project showcasing Jeff’s shop turned into an incredible referral relationship. Jeff loved the results and started recommending Jackson to friends, family, customers, and anyone who would listen!

Today, Jackson says some of his strongest referrals come from a business he never expected to work with!

❤️ That's the power of BNI! It's not always about finding someone who needs your services directly. It's about building genuine relationships with people who believe in what you do and want to help you succeed.

You never know which connection could change your business!

Curious what unexpected opportunities BNI could bring your way? Come meet the people behind the businesses!

🚗🏆 FIVE YEARS IN A ROW! Now that's something worth celebrating!

Last week, we had the pleasure of hearing from Jeff Schepp with Shepy's Auto Body as our Featured Speaker at BNI Networking Professionals!

Jeff gave us a behind-the-scenes look at the shop, shared exciting updates, and celebrated an impressive accomplishment: Shepy's Auto Body has been voted Best of Dodge for the FIFTH consecutive year! 👏🎉

But that's not the only exciting news from Shepy's!

After six years of keeping things running smoothly in the office, Mirandah has officially welcomed a beautiful baby girl with Cody! 💕👶 Congratulations to the growing family!

And while Mirandah enjoys some well-deserved time with her little one, Jeff is getting a taste of life on the other side of the shop as he takes over the office duties! 😂

From award-winning auto body work to a brand-new addition to the Shepy's family, there's certainly plenty to celebrate! 🚘❤️

Congratulations to the entire Shepy's Auto Body team on another Best of Dodge win, and a big thank you to Jeff for another great presentation! 👏

Whether it's a referral, a recommendation, or simply knowing who to call, those relationships make a difference both inside and outside our weekly meetings!

Because BNI isn't just about who you know. It's about how we can help each other and the people we serve! 👏

🤝 This week’s BNI testimonial comes from Kylie Emslie with Emslie Services!

Three years ago, Kylie’s husband Kolton joined BNI while launching Emslie Services from the ground up. They were a brand-new business, taking a chance and hoping to grow.

Fast forward to today, and what a difference three years can make! 👏

What started as a business booked just a week or two in advance is now completely booked through 2026 and already scheduling into 2027!

Kylie credits the relationships, referrals, and connections made through BNI as a huge part of that success. And it goes both ways! Having a trusted network of local professionals means they can confidently refer their own customers to others when additional services are needed. ❤️

That’s the power of BNI: building relationships that help everyone grow!

🚗 This week’s BNI testimonial comes from Jeff Schepp with Shepy's Auto Body!

When Jeff joined BNI in 2017, he was still working a full-time maintenance job. Fast forward nine years, and Shepy’s Auto Body now employs five people and stays nonstop busy! 👏

From deer hits and rusty rocker panels to classic cars, industrial painting, and everything in between, the shop has grown tremendously over the years, and Jeff can honestly say his business wouldn’t be where it is today without BNI. 🤝

What a great example of what can happen when you combine hard work with the relationships, referrals, and support of a strong network!

Thanks for sharing your story, Jeff! ❤️

🔧 Last week’s Featured Speaker, Gary with Garage Door Gary, opened the door to some great conversation about something we use every day but probably don’t think much about… our garage doors!

With fall here and colder Wisconsin weather right around the corner, now is a great time to make sure your garage door works properly and is ready for the season ahead. 🍂

Gary shared his knowledge with the group and reminded us that a little maintenance now can help keep things running smoothly when those colder temperatures arrive.

Noticing strange noises? Is your door sticking, struggling, or just not working as it should? Don’t wait until you’re stuck out in the cold! Call Garage Door Gary and let the expert take a look.

Thank you, Gary, for a great presentation and for keeping our BNI members in the know! 👏

🚚 When Don is the Featured Speaker, there’s always a chance the presentation might spill out into the parking lot!

Don Johnson with Napleton Chevrolet Buick GMC - Beaver Dam has brought vehicles for our BNI group to explore before, and last week he did it again, this time giving us an up-close look at several commercial vehicles.

From utility and service bodies to box trucks and dump bodies, Don walked us through the different setups, storage options, space, features, and capabilities these vehicles can offer depending on a business's needs.

And as you can tell from the photos, the group was pretty fascinated! 😂 There were compartments to open, beds to raise, plenty of questions to ask, and a lot of interesting features most of us don’t get to see up close every day.

It’s always fun when Don brings part of the dealership to us and gives everyone a chance to learn something new!

Thank you, Don, for another informative — and hands-on — Featured Speaker presentation! 🚚👏
