Business Networking

A simple, cost-effective and proven way of increasing your sales through referrals

If you’re like most business people, then marketing is probably one of your least favourite activities. It’s time-consuming and, when you have to do things like cold-calling, not very enjoyable.  What’s more, activities like advertising can turn out to be desperately expensive – often without bringing great benefits.

Luckily there is an alternative. You’ve probably benefited in the past from referrals and word-of-mouth business. It’s an inexpensive way of getting business and, even better, people often come ready to do business with you. BNI is simply a systematic process for generating referrals. All you do is have breakfast every Thursday with a group of like-minded business people and exchange referrals with them. You just have to pay the cost of the weekly breakfast and a small annual fee. 

It may sound simplistic…but it’s been proven to work. Last year, the 646 BNI chapters in the UK and Ireland passed referrals worth a staggering £230 million. That’s an average of more than £356,000 per chapter. 

If you’d like to start generating some valuable referrals for your business, why not try us out one Thursday morning – with absolutely no obligation. You’ll even get a chance to explain your business to everyone and to pass out your business cards. Ring Nick Tasquier on 07899 903780 now to arrange a date.

"My BNI membership costs have been recouped multiple times over by business I have won through BNI referrals. I have also made some excellent contacts that have already helped me in many ways with own business."
