What It Means To You When We Give A Referral
Referrals are a gift.
They are a gift to the person receiving the referral for the business they are seeking.
They are a gift to the business that is receiving the gift of a new client, aka money.
Bella’s House and Pet Sitting does not take this lightly.
We believe that knowing who you refer business to says a lot of things. Namely, it says that we are willing to stake our reputation on another business because we think so highly of them. In most cases we have a personal relationship with the business and believe they have great professionalism and character. It isn’t enough to just be great at your business.
When we receive referrals, we are always quick to say thank you. Whether it is to our loyal clients, and we reward them with credits on their accounts or with other business owners in the community.
We understand that without you, our extended sales force, we would not be where we are today.
Personally, I have run networking groups like the group at my church and in McDowell Mountain Ranch. I know the heads of many of the largest networking groups here in the valley. I thrive on leading with character, integrity, and helping connect people. Those who I vouch for, I am 100% sure that they will do everything they can to take care of their newest customers. In addition, many of these people become my business friends and we have a ongoing relationship with one another. I always say that Bella’s House & Pet Sitting has been built on relationships and this is is a big part of it.
I actually get a big kick out of being able to give all these businesses “gifts.” Some weeks I have the pleasure of giving up to 10 “gifts!” It makes me so happy to do this.
So… the next time you need anything – just ask! Don’t open the Yellow Pages or Google it. ASK ME! I would love to tell you and that is why we created our concierge program. Anyone I refer you to, I personally know.
That is why BELLA’S IS THE BEST!
What Did Bella Do Today? Day In the Life
Today was a great day.
I had two meetings with awesome people. One was the crew from Gabriel’s Angels. I love working with them as they are always professional, on the ball, and ready to work! They are the beneficiary for our Pet Pawshion Show at Barrett Jackson on Jan 20th. Bella’s House & Pet Sitting is co producing this event in Scottsdale with Rock Me Arizona. In our meeting, we went over some final details and I learned even more about what they were doing. In fact, you might see a video of me soon on facebook talking with their puppet…errr, golf head cover. Get ready! It is going to be funny! But more about that later.
Then it was off to Tempe  Marketplace where I met with marlin to finalize all the looks for our pet fashion show. Marilyn is the creator of Barking Baby, a pet fashion line with amazing clothing. Marilyn has been so gracious to provide all the clothing for our show. It is the first time I have ever organized a fashion show and wow is it an experience. I have 30 dog models and matching them up to our 40-60 looks and getting the proper line up for the show is quite the adventure. Although, for those of you who know me, I love adventure! So bring it on.
Later, I returned to the home office to do some more work and send emails before off to another weekly meeting I have for Bella’s. My days are
always fun and exciting. Tomorrow I get to meet a brand new client with Kelly who didn’t have a good experience with another pet sitting company in the past. I am going on this consultation so I can personally meet them and look them in the eye to assure them of our integrity.  This is important to me and I am excited to meet them.

[SERIES] My Favorite Thing About The Holiday Season: Kelly
We asked our employees what their favorite part of the Holiday Season is. Here is what Kelly said.
Kelly Says:
My favorite thing about the Holiday Season is the sense of gratitude and joy that somehow always surrounds me Christmas eve. After the days of hustle and bustle leading up to Christmas I find myself overwhelmed with peace and hopefulness as I watch over my beautiful family laughing, squealing, & giggling as they marvel at the blessings the season brings, year after year. It is a feeling I try to grab onto and hold dear as I reflect on the past and wonder about the imponderables of our future.
