What do you want to pass-on as your legacy for future generations?

That was the big question we discussed this morning in our networking meeting!

Many of the local businesspeople in our group are focused on growing their business to hand over to their children or sell at retirement - and the regular referrals and support from our group is helping them reach those goals.

Craig from ClmSigns shared his story with us today in his feature presentation. He started his self-employed journey 15 years ago through the Prince's Trust and now has a thriving business adding graphics and signgage to vehicles, shopfronts, buildings, sites, and even rollercoasters!

Are you just starting your own self-employed journey?
Or do you have ambitions to grow your business so you can leave behind a legacy?

Everyone in our chapter understands what it takes to do this, and we come together weekly to support each other in achieving our ambitions.

On average, we pass 43 referrals each month and in the last four weeks we've thanked each other for over £75,000 of business that's been generated as a result!

Come see for yourself how this could help you and your business dreams - we're always excited to meet new people and welcome guests into our meetings.

Get in touch for an invite.

What do you think is the biggest key to your success - your performance, your image, or your exposure?

You might be surprised to learn that exposure plays the biggest part - much more than how well you perform!

This was a really interesting education topic, delivered in our meeting this morning by Clare Clish - Not Just Travel. When these three elements were applied to how the BNI system works, it made total sense that the pie was sliced this way!

Of course, being good at what we each do is important, but that's a standard expectation. Being known, liked, and trusted (image) is the foundation to success, and being visible to lots of people who can open doors (exposure) is why we all network in this group of fellow businesspeople - and why we generate revenue for each other.

Over the last 12 months we've thanked each other for £451,050 of business!

It was really interesting to meet three new guests today and some great connections were made as they visited our group to increase their own exposure. Thank you Dannie Allcock from Aquavitra , Martin Davies from Fidgital Design and Dave Adams from CMD Electrical Engineers Ltd for coming along.

Our door is always open to great businesses who want to maximise their exposure to referral partners - get in touch for your invitation!

Have you made a career change?

Sometimes the skills developed within one industry can help you excel in a new area.

Our member Chris Heaps spent many years as an engineer with the RAF and then as a manager for Coca Cola. He learnt a lot about continuous improvement and how to get the best out of processes and people, and now he applies this to his estate agency business Enfields Pontefract.

They are the only Trading Standards approved estate agent in Pontefract and have a fantastic track record for selling houses.

Chris has been a member of BNI for many years and continues to be a key person within our chapter, knowing how much it has helped his business to grow.

If you have recently made a career change, or have a business that would benefit from the support of other local business owners and regular referrals, get in touch for your free invitation to come along and meet us.

Who doesn't love a catchy slogan?!
Have you got one in your business?

They really help people quickly understand how you can help them - like this one from our member Dean's company, Phoenix Inspection Ltd.

NDT, or non-destructive testing, is a niche market, but our network group has been able to help Dean grow his business through referrals by making it clear what he does and who he helps.

Dean gave us a feature presentation this morning and explained about his new advanced testing service that he's had intense training in - further developing his offering and giving us more reasons to introduce him to our contacts.

Good luck in your exam today, Dean!

If you have a business that would benefit from regular referrals, get in touch for your free invitation to come along to our weekly meetings and meet your future referral-getters!

If you haven't been to a BNI meeting before, you may expect it to be like all the other networking groups.

But, here's why our meeting is different (and why our members renew year-after-year): structure and purpose.

Every week there's:

🎓 an education piece - this morning Craig from ClmSigns gave us seven tips to get the most out of our 1-2-1's

💭 break-out rooms - an interesting discussion today about what strategies we've found to be most effective in promoting our businesses

⏱️ specific referral requests - 60-seconds from every member and visitor, letting us know exactly who they want introductions to

🧍 a detailed feature presentation from one member - this week we all learnt more about how Fondant Marketing helps businesses with social media as Kirsty took us through a case study of a client's journey from start-up to expansion

🤝🏻 contributions - the marker of our success is when we can announce the referrals we have passed to each other and thank members for the revenue their introductions have generated. And there's a prize for the most contributions (well done Phoebe from Multi Web Marketing for winning this week!)

🗨️ open networking - a really friendly and productive way to get to know each other better and build relationships

🚫 What you won't hear is a sales pitch from any of our members.

Instead, you'll hear a group of local business people showing interest in each other's businesses, to find out how they can generate business opportunities for them.

It's simple, and it works.

In the last four weeks, our members were thanked for bringing over £27,000 of revenue into each other's businesses.

Sounds good?

Try it for yourself - visitors are welcomed to any of our Friday morning meetings to experience it.

📣 Calling all tradespeople!

We have a busy and reputable electrician in our group who has regular work to pass to other tradespeople - specifically, plumbers and tilers.

If you, or someone you know, fits the bill then please get in touch to arrange an introduction to some brilliant referral partners like Wren Electrical - Wakefield.

In the last four weeks our members have passed over £25,000 of business to each other - and there's more for other great local businesses and skilled tradespeople.

Our meeting ended this week with the quote: "You will either step forward into growth, or step back into safety".

Take a step forward...

Ever feel like the sharks are nipping at your heels?!
Meet Andrew - he spends his days dangling out of helicopters and rescuing people!

Nope, he's not a special agent, but he is special - he's an independent financial advisor with Cheetham Jackson and this morning he shared with us how being independent means more choice and better investment opportunities.

He prides himself on jargon-free, personalised plans that will secure a better retirement for his clients. If you're not sure what your pension pot looks like, or when you will be able to comfortably retire, get in touch with Andrew.

Dangling above a shark can be what it feels like when you're in business sometimes too, particularly if you're a new business or recently self-employed.

Help is out there - we have a room full of professionals across a variety of sectors that can support you on your journey and do 'search and rescue' for referral opportunities that could help your business grow.

We're a friendly bunch that's passed over £36,000 of business between members in the last 4 weeks, which is why we have so many long-standing members, like Craig from ClmSigns who renewed his membership for a fifth year this week.

Come along to meet us and see for yourself the difference it makes to have a squad of successful business people behind you. Just message us for the meeting link to visit us online next Friday.

How do you wear yours?

Nope, we're not talking about skinny, straight cut or low-rise - our health and safety consultant presented to us this morning about how he encourages his clients to wear their management systems as a pair of trousers, not an overcoat!

What does RG Consulting Services means by this? It shouldn't be something that is taken off at work!

He shared a great story about helping a bakery business with supplier selections, waste management, risk assessments and business management systems - all of which were integral to growing the business.

Each member of our networking group has stories to tell about client successes and their committment to wearing the trousers - demonstrated week-in, week-out, by the business passed between other members.

Referrals passed in the last year have generated half a million pounds in business for our members and we have plenty more introductions to make, and opportunities to give, to other people who want to grow - like our visitor today, Spartan Expert Cleaning valeting and Detailing.

If you'd like to come along to make new connections, get in touch for a link to our online meeting next Friday.

Who drives the train in your business? 🚇

This morning we had an excellent presentation from Gary at Moss Editorial where we learned more about his professional copywriting services and how he went the 'extra mile' when writing a piece for the London Underground staff magazine by actually completing tube driver training!

No matter where you are on your business journey, making new and meaningful connections is vital to reach your destination and we love building these relationships every week and helping each other to move further along the tracks.

Our structured meeting agenda impressed our visitors this week and is what sets us apart from other networking groups, because it results in real business opportunities and revenue, week-after-week. In the last seven days we've generated £12,116 of business for each other!

It was really great this week to meet guests from Forget Me Not Children's Hospice, insolvency practice Chamberlain & Co, and PPI equipment supplier DNB Supplies.

If you want to hop onboard and visit us, just drop us a message for your free ticket 🎟️

If you had a £50k-£100k cash injection into your business, what would you invest it in? 🤔

That was the question posed in our networking meeting this morning and it generated an interesting discussion - from opening more offices and creating more jobs, to investing in equipment and expanding into new markets.

If you're just starting out in business, or you're looking for more work, the best investment you can make is giving an hour and a half of your time to come along and visit us online one Friday morning!

Just this month, we have generated £29,982 of business for each other from passing referrals each week.

🚗 In the driving seat this week was our car specialist, giving us a feature presentation about his business findmy.car and how they reinvented the car-buying experience with their personal shopping service.

A truly credible company, they have 100% five-star reviews for going the extra 'mile' for their customers to make sure they source exactly what the customer is looking for, including cost-price customisations, nationwide delivery, and preparing the vehicle to make it cosmetically and mechanically sound at no additional cost.

Check out their page and get in touch with them if you want to find your next car without the hassle.
