Kerrisdale Lumbers 90th year of quality sales and service in the neighborhood of Kerrisdale, Vancouver, BC, Canada. Back in 1921, when Kerrisdale Lumber started in business, horse and wagon brought them much of their merchandise. Other goods came by rail car delivered to one of three sidings on the West Boulevard. In those days you could buy a thousand board measure for the costly price of $10.00. Sidewalks were made of wood and cleared of snow by a one-horse plough. Back then, Bert didn't limit himself to just Kerrisdale, but went out and sought business where ever he could.

At Kerrisdale Lumber you'll find everything you need for barbequing perfection. Whether it's a new charcoal or gas grill, a particular barbeque part you've been searching for, or that ultimate barbeque accessory, you've come to the right place. We carry quality barbeque's in all prices from Weber, Napoleon, DCS, Lynx, Alfresco, Vermont Castings, Jackson Grill, Fuego and more.

Join us for an Informative Evening of Networking, a great meal, and Great Training!   Please see ATTACHED Registration Form.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               HOW TO NETWORK EFFECTIVELY -  GETTING PAST THE BUSINESS CARD EXCHANGE

This seminar is for presidents, owners and entrepreneurs who are searching for solutions to the business obstacles they face when trying to network, qualify and sell in this tough economy. The topics covered will include techniques and behaviours needed to network effectively, develop a 30 second commercial and get past the business card exchange. Learn how to actively increase your referrals, qualify prospects quickly and effectively and walk away with tools and information that you can apply for immediate results.

Networking is synonymous with the term ‘working a room’ – working rapidly through huge quantities of people, dishing out business cards in a desperate bid to make a ‘sale.’  Despite popular belief, an effective networker does not sell. An effective networker understands that it’s the quality of the meeting set and not the number of business cards collected that’s important.
