The team from Jeff Webb Communications had a great time at the Greater Hernando County Chamber of Commerce membership breakfast on Wednesday, April 28. In addition to the usual opportunities to network and greet old friends, it was great to see so many new members attend for the first time.
As sponsor of this monthly breakfast event, yours truly was asked to make a 5-minute presentation about my business. I was grateful for the opportunity to introduce several of my associates and publicly acknowledge the work they are doing for our clients. Those team members included Lori Bainum, Linda Hamilton, Cindy Harper and Debbie Wolfe.
The 100-plus people in attendance quickly grasped the organizational structure of Jeff Webb Communications as I analogized our operation to the 1980s television show The A-Team, which starred George Peppard as Col. Hannibal Smith. Those of you who remember the show's plot line know that each week Hannibal accepted an assignment from someone in need, then he would devise an ingenious plan to make it work. Finally, he would assemble a team of specialists to accomplish the mission, usually in heroic fashion.
I asked the audience to imagine our associates as members of the A-Team whose special skills and talents combine to successfully accomplish the mission for our clients. (We're going to draw straws to see who plays the role of "Mr. T!)
It was a fun event. After my brief presentation, there was another by Bonnie Clark about the new Spring Hill campus of Pasco-Hernando Community College, which will be open for classes later this year.
Later in the program, we drew the lucky winner of a free consultation by JWC's "A-Team.'' The winner was "Susie's Again'' restaurant in Spring Hill, which also is a chamber member. Congratulations! The owners' decision to join the chamber has already produced a return on their investment.
