Another Great Meeting! Why not join us!
It's hat's off to everybody for making yesterday's BNI Prime Online such a brilliant meeting.
Well, it's hats on 🎩 ⛑ 👒 🤠 really as we added wearing hats to the meeting mix as a bit of fun, which we all enjoyed.
It was great to meet all our guests and visitors, so a big thank you for coming to Sandra Feuell, Rosanna V., Berdene Kilbride, Victoria Sedgley, Leon Warner, John H-Sech 🇺🇦, Sam Cush, Murray Jennings and Jon Wilkins, especially as you all brought hats along too!!
We're excited to be able to welcome Charles Calvert and David Liney as our newest members of the chapter. We've got a few more applications being processed and look forward to welcoming them in the very near future.
After the informal breakout sessions, it was down to the main business of the meeting.
Claire Aplin spoke about the BNI Core Value of building relationships and gave the example of how building relationships both inside the chapter and with clients had created an interesting chain of referrals. CLaire had referred a client to Rob Osborne as they wanted to talk about digital marketing. Rob did a great job, so that client then referred Rob to somebody else. That person needed a new logo designed so Rob referred them back to Claire. It's unlikely that any of that business would have happened without the good relationships throughout.
Peter Bolton used the Education slot to remind us of the power of testimonials. Not only do they highlight a job well done, but they help members with their self-esteme as there is an element of pomp and circumstance in how they are announced at meetings. BNI hopes everyone can give a testimonial every 6-months, but Peter mentioned that a good target should really be 2.3 testimonials every 6-months.
Later in the meeting Marietta Maidman gave BNI a testimonial in recognition of the positive impact that being a member has had on her business.
This week it was Naomi Stonier's turn to give the 10-minute presentation. Naomi is a Life and Marriage coach and helps people build successful relationships with their partners by teaching the skills your parents didn't model for you.
One of the unique aspects of Naomi's approach is that she works with you individually and shows that individual how they can help their partner too.

In the last month £18,827 of business was generated by our members through BNI and in the last 12-months we generated over £437,000, which is pretty amazing!! 💰 💰
