Great feature presentation this morning from Angel Phillips with ServiceMaster by Wise!

One thing that stuck with me. A sump pump failure might only carry $5,000 to $10,000 in coverage. But a flooded finished basement can easily run $5,000 to $50,000+ once you add up the flooring, drywall, trim, cabinets, and furniture. Most people have no idea until it's too late.

That's where Angel comes in. Her team shows up, assesses the damage, documents everything, and walks people through their options and the costs before they file a claim. They'll even do a free inspection so you can make a smart decision instead of a panicked one.

They handle water damage, fire and smoke, mold, odor, biohazards, hoarding, pack outs, full reconstruction, and commercial losses too. And they're right here in Warren.

If you know a homeowner dealing with a basement leak, a real estate client who just found water damage, or a friend who has no clue what their policy covers, connect them with Angel.

Here's one for the group:

Big welcome to our newest GRO member, David Fox with Soltman Heating & Cooling!

David took the oath this morning and made it official. Perfect timing too, with Michigan weather about to turn cold.

If you know anyone who needs a furnace checked before winter, a new AC system, or just a heating and cooling guy they can trust, David's your guy. Let's show him what this chapter is all about and get some referrals headed his way.

Welcome aboard, David. Glad to have you in the room. ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Keith Baldwin of Regal Payments for one of today's feature presentation.

If you own a business and any of this sounds familiar, Keith is your guy:

- "These credit card fees are killing my profit."
- "My deposits are always delayed."
- "Their customer service is terrible."
- "They raised my rates without telling me."
- "I want to take online payments but don't know where to start."

He helps businesses cut through the nonsense on payment processing and actually understand what they're paying each month. Local guy, picks up the phone.

Quick networking tip for everyone.

When you see someone in a residents group asking for a service, and one of our BNI members does that work, drop a comment sharing your experience with them. A real recommendation from a fellow member beats any ad. It puts our people right in front of someone who is already looking for help.

One comment can send them business for months.

Another great morning with BNI Greater Royal Oak! Two feature presentations today.

Joey Robison with Great Lakes Landscape Design. Joey's team does more than make yards look good. They solve water problems with their hydrology systems: GEPS for water infiltration, NEPS for plant nutrient supply, plus traditional drainage like R-tanks and flow wells. Their core principles say it all: We Get S**t Done, Make it Right, and Continued Relationships. 70% of their business is return customers. If you know a Metro Detroit homeowner with outdoor drainage or landscaping problems, or a general contractor who needs a reliable partner, Joey's your guy.

Dominic Buschini with Payroll Vault. Dominic is the local payroll and HR partner for Michigan small businesses. They handle Michigan tax compliance, same-day direct deposit, and flexible pay schedules, plus HR support like employee handbooks, benefits admin, and compliance help as you grow. Real local people who know your name, not a call center, backed by 60+ offices nationwide. Serving small businesses since 2008. If payroll is eating your time, get a free quote: [email protected] or 269-317-0821.

Celebrating anniversaries: Jim Wolfe, 19 years with BNI! And Matt Mitchell, 2 years. Congratulations to both.

Great week at BNI Greater Royal Oak! A few things worth celebrating:

Happy Birthday to Dwight Hawks (Oct 11)!

Happy Anniversary to Dr. Bryan Born and his wife Carol (Oct 10), and to Scott Isner and his wife Brenda (Oct 10)!

Mark your calendars: Fall Festival at Jim's house, Wednesday Oct 28th, 5 to 7 pm. Bonfire and autumn craft cocktails, plus early bird and door prizes.

And last week's presenter spotlight: Alex Wilkinson of JCS Tree Care Professionals in Troy.

Alex is an arborist, a Royal Oak guy for 5 years, husband to Ali, dad to Jude and Milo, and his goal is simple: build a business his family can be proud of while staying present.

If you need tree work done right, Alex is your guy.
