Cache of the Day - Business Connections


The Bloomington Chamber of Commerce had its annual Business Expo this past Thursday, and of course Employment Plus had a booth.

This event is like a reunion of everyone we do business with in the Bloomington area. It's fun to catch up with the people from these businesses, and it also interesting to see what their business is up to.

I know that our goal is to make contacts for new business, but I often wonder how productive this is, as we only seem to connect with those we already know. I would love to hear some ideas on how to keep the focus.


Yes, I was one of the worst offenders this time, probably because this was local, and there were SO MANY people I know personally. And here some of the people there(from top to bottom):


Ryan Bass, in charge of Marketing for new spring water company, Walnut Grove (notice the cool bottles).

Dena Marietta, Director of Marketing for the College Mall, a Simon property (don't ask me why we're both leaning into each other).

Jean and Jackie, friends from SOCC


The Employment Plus crew from the Bloomington branch office - Erin, Heather, Rebecca, Katelyn, and me!
