Thanks sooo much to our 42 testers who’ve signed up to test LeadTracker. It’s been great seeing how you use the tool, the glitches you’ve pointed out and the wonderful ideas and suggestions you’ve given me

With that, we’re now going to:

🐞Fix remaining bugs and glitches
🚀Prep the site for a soft launch (SEO, privacy policy, free trial, paywall)
👬Affilitate programme setup

With that, we’ll have our proof of concept done and dusted !!!

Then we’ll see 😉

If I’m lucky and we have the support we need, we’ll move onto reviewing and prioritising new features for LeadTracker in our next phase of development work

If you’ve missed our call for LeadTracker testers and would still like to join in and give LeadTracker a go, head this way 👉 https://lnkd.in/eEnwhVDz or just hit the link in our profile 😀

We’d love to hear from you 👋👋👋

Earlier this year, I ran an outreach campaign on LinkedIn to invite businesses from the health and wellness sector to our chapter, BNI commonwealth

We ran a successful 2 month outreach, where 7 business owners registered and attended our hybrid meetings (in person and via zoom)

My healtfelt thanks to Anne, our Vice President, for the review.

Did I also mention we're the No 1 Chapter here in London 😀?

As a chapter, we're fast reaching full capacity (50 members) and will be closing out membership this year, after we've reached that target.

However we'll still be welcoming visitors, as usual, to the chapter.

So if you're considering a visit to us, we meet every Wednesday from 11:45 am.

To find out what makes us the No 1 BNI chapter in London, please reach out to Anne or myself

How to Make your Business Appy📱

Join me on the 8th Sept at the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) virtual networking, hosted by Sarah Clayton-Jones of Read to Lead

In a fast-changing world where business owners’ resources and time are increasingly stretched, digital technology brings huge opportunities to work smarter and more efficiently.

Mobile Apps can help you run your business processes, finances and marketing while on the go at the touch of a button. Some businesses are even creating their own apps to enhance their product and customer engagement.

From the latest mobile trends, we do know that mobile apps are no longer the reserve of well known brands or multi national companies.

Apps have also become more affordable to the small business

In the past, many of us may have started with social media and banking mobile apps, we're now seeing many more apps from smaller businesses in retail, restaurants, events / networking (think FSB app) to community apps serving local residents and businesses.

For those of you who are considering building your own app for the first time, where do you start? Can you afford to invest in an app, and what's available in the market place today?

I'll be answering these questions on the 8th Sept so do join us there.

Non-members are welcome to visit - please register in the chat below to receive your reminder and a zoom link

I've recently signed up to the Good Business Charter, through the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB)

Over 1,000 organisations, both large and small, have signed up to the charter, which promotes and encourages responsible business behaviour.

Does it change anything I do in my business?

No, I don't think it will for now.

However, displaying the accreditation I've signed up to does signal the values I embody, the practices we adhere and will adhere to, the behaviours we exhibit as a brand, how we work as a team etc

What about you? Which of these 10 components below 👇 resonate most with you?

Did you do something scary this bank holiday weekend?

I’ve always had a fear of heights although I loved Go Ape, Zip Wiring, mountain snow shoeing and all the adventure stuff that often requires one to get to or be suspended from a certain height

Yesterday, I did exactly that

I did the Skywalk across the roof of a football stadium, 45 m above sea level.

Had a moment of panic when I was about to let go of the platform I was standing on, and abseil down to ground

I asked the instructor, who was securing me with at least 3 sets of ropes, that I’d made a mistake and wanted to go back.

He said, nope, you can do it.

After 3 requests to let go and some cajoling from the instructor, I finally did!!!

And you know what? When I let go, I lost my initial fear and actually enjoyed the descent.

Definitely do it again 😏

The fear of public speaking, running and starting a business can be like that sometimes.

At times, these fears are much harder to conquer but once we get started, we may even enjoy the process and be rewarded for the effort.

Would you abseil down a football stadium?
