Smiles all around at BNI Mercury!

We’re absolutely delighted to officially welcome Lauren Starkey to the Mercury family!

Lauren joins us in the Virtual Assistant seat, and we couldn’t be happier to have her as part of our team.

One of the best things about Mercury is seeing our chapter grow with brilliant local business people who want to build relationships, support one another and grow together, and we know Lauren is going to be a fantastic addition.

As you can see from the smiles, we’re pretty pleased to have her!

Welcome to Mercury, Lauren. We’re so excited to have you with us!

The Power of a 1-to-1

We hear each other’s 60 seconds every week, but how well do we really know each other’s businesses?

A 1-to-1 gives you the chance to understand:
What they do
Who they’re looking for
What a great referral looks like
How you can help each other

The better we know each other, the easier it is to spot opportunities and make great introductions.

This week’s Mercury challenge:
Book a 1-to-1 with someone you haven’t caught up with recently.

One conversation could lead to your next great referral!

BNI MERCURY AUGUST NETWORK LEADERS!

It’s time to celebrate some of our fantastic Mercury members who really stood out during August!

Most TYFTB Chris Brown
A brilliant month for Chris, generating business and demonstrating exactly what Givers Gain® is all about.

Most Referrals Passed Nicola Bentman
Congratulations to Nicola for creating opportunities and making valuable introductions for other members of the room.

BNI is about so much more than turning up each week – it’s about supporting one another, spotting opportunities and helping each other’s businesses grow.

A huge well done to Chris and Nicola, our August Network Leaders!

Who will take the top spots next month?

THE £0 MARKETING CHALLENGE

What if your next piece of business didn't come from an advert, a cold call or a social media campaign?

What if it simply started with one conversation?

That's exactly what happens at BNI Mercury.

Jo gets to know Lee and understands what he does.
Jo meets someone who could benefit from Lee's services.
She makes an introduction.
A conversation turns into an opportunity.

Marketing spend: £0.

That's the power of building genuine relationships. When people know you, trust you and understand your business, they can spot opportunities for you, even when you're not in the room.

BNI isn't about selling to the people sitting around the table.

It's about building a team of people who know who you're looking for and can open the right doors.

Curious about how BNI Mercury could help your business?

Drop us a message. We'd love to tell you more and invite you along to one of our meetings.

Today, the BNI Mercury Leadership Team delivered a 10-minute presentation looking at where our Chapter is now and, more importantly, where we're heading!

Our goal is to grow with high-quality members, welcome more visitors, and create even more connections, referrals, and business opportunities for everyone in the room.

We already have a fantastic group of businesses, and we're really excited about what we can achieve together.

Would you like to see what BNI Mercury could offer your business? Come and visit us! 😊

What did you think BNI was before you experienced it?

Awkward networking?
Handing out business cards?
Standing in a room trying to sell yourself to strangers?

We get it!

But BNI Mercury is so much more than that.

It’s about building genuine relationships, supporting local businesses, making introductions, passing referrals and having a group of people who genuinely want to see you succeed.

And yes… we have plenty of laughs along the way too!

You don't have to take our word for it, come along and experience a BNI Mercury meeting for yourself.

Curious about what we do or wondering whether BNI could work for your business? Drop us a message. We’d love to tell you a little more and invite you along to meet us.

More than a network. We’re a team.

THERE’S AN EMPTY CHAIR AT BNI MERCURY…

And it could belong to you.

Every Tuesday morning, local business owners come together at BNI Mercury to build relationships, share knowledge, make introductions and help each other grow.

But there are still businesses missing from the room.

Could you be one of them?

We’re looking for local business owners who want to:

Build genuine relationships
Have other people talking about their business
Make valuable connections
Generate new opportunities and referrals
Be part of a supportive local business community

BNI isn't about walking into a room and selling to everyone.

It's about building relationships with people who get to know you, understand your business, and learn exactly who they'd love to introduce you to.

So the question is…

WHO ARE WE MISSING?

There’s an empty chair at BNI Mercury, and we'd love to find the right person to fill it.

Drop us a message and tell us what you do. We'll let you know if your business category is available and tell you a little more about coming along as a visitor.

Your next opportunity might already be sitting around our table.

BNI Mercury is about so much more than just networking.

By day, we’re supporting each other’s businesses, passing referrals, sharing advice and helping each other grow.

But it’s what happens beyond the meeting that makes BNI Mercury really special. The conversations, the laughs, the support and the friendships that grow along the way.

We may have all joined BNI Mercury to grow our businesses, but along the way, we’ve built genuine relationships and friendships too.

That’s the magic of BNI Mercury.
