Referrals can be a powerful way to grow a business, but not all referral strategies work the same way.

From word of mouth and customer referral programs to business-to-business referrals and structured referral networks, each approach creates different opportunities.

BNI takes referral networking further through a structured, relationship-based approach where business professionals meet regularly, build trust and intentionally create opportunities for one another.

🚙 MEMBER PRESENTATION | T-Revs Mechanical Repairs & Upgrades 🚐

Would your car and caravan be safely and legally within their weight limits if they were weighed today?

This morning, Trevor from T‑Revs Mechanical Repairs & Upgrades delivered an eye-opening presentation about the importance of having both your caravan and tow vehicle professionally weighed.

It isn’t only the overall weight that matters. How that weight is distributed can affect your vehicle’s handling, braking and, most importantly, the safety of everyone travelling with you.

T‑Revs is the official Weigh Me RV station for the South Coast, offering this valuable service locally from Bomaderry so there’s no need to travel to Sydney to have your complete setup professionally assessed.

If you’re planning your next caravan adventure or simply want peace of mind that your setup is safe and compliant, speak with Trevor and the T‑Revs team.

🏆 POWER 45 WINNER – Jason | Think Tank Digital Marketing

This morning, Jason from Think Tank Digital Marketing shared an industry where his team has plenty of experience and has achieved great results: tree services and arborist businesses. 🌳

From building brand awareness and creating professional websites to social media and lead generation, Think Tank has helped businesses in this space become better known and, importantly, easier to find when customers need them.

And heading into the warmer months, that need becomes even more important. 🔥🌳

Tree maintenance, clearing and professional arborist services can play an important role in helping property owners prepare their properties and reduce bushfire risks.

🎯 Jason’s ask this week:
An introduction to a local tree or arborist business that wants to strengthen its presence, build awareness and generate more opportunities in the local community.

If you know someone who could benefit from a conversation with Jason and the Think Tank team, make the introduction!

👏 Congratulations, Jason, on this week’s Power 45!

🏡 MEMBER PRESENTATION – DENNIS FROM STROUD HOMES NOWRA

On Friday, Dennis from Stroud Homes Nowra showed us how the right preparation could save someone up to $50,000 on their new-home build.

Dennis took us through Stroud’s four-step process:

✅ Choosing the right land
✅ Finding a design that suits the block, budget and lifestyle
✅ Understanding the complete “black and white” quote
✅ Completing the preliminary testing before construction begins

One of the biggest lessons was that the cheapest block isn’t always the cheapest block to build on—and the cheapest quote doesn’t always result in the cheapest build.

From slope, soil and easements to bushfire overlays, design choices and hidden allowances, Dennis explained the things buyers need to investigate before committing. His approach is about replacing assumptions with reliable information and helping clients understand exactly what they are paying for.

Dennis also demonstrated BNI collaboration at its best, highlighting how local conveyancers, real estate professionals, consultants and trades can work together to help clients make better decisions.

Dennis’s ask this week is for an introduction to an intelligent, busy professional who would like to build their dream home and wants someone to make the process clear, transparent and manageable.

A practical, educational and thoroughly engaging presentation. Well done, Dennis! 👏

For many, it's about more than owning a business.

It's about empowering local entrepreneurs, building a thriving business community, and creating opportunities that have a lasting impact. Becoming a BNI Franchisee means leading with purpose while helping others grow.

🏆 MEMBER 45 WINNER – MIRANDA PACKER 🏆

Congratulations to our Member 45 Winner, Miranda Packer from Miranda Packer Coaching

Miranda may be one of our newest members, but she stepped up for her very first 45-second presentation today and absolutely knocked it out of the park.

With years of experience working alongside businesses and high-level leaders, Miranda has already joined our chapter with a genuine Givers Gain® mindset.

Rather than simply talking about what she does, Miranda asked our members, as she’s new to the room, to let her know how she can help them and their businesses. With a lot of connections and experience across diverse industries, there’s a lot no doubt she can assist with her Givers Gain attitude.

A brilliant first presentation and a fantastic example of what BNI is all about.

Congratulations, Miranda! 👏
