Look, if you’re a roofer, you’re already used to being up at the crack of dawn in freezing weather. Trading a cold roof for a warm clubhouse and a massive breakfast at Rivenhall Oaks at 6:30 AM is a massive upgrade.

We’re turning away roofing leads every single week because our roofing seat is completely empty. Our trades team wants to hand work to one trusted person, but right now, there’s no one there to take it.

Are you our missing Roofer?

No corporate nonsense or secret handshakes, just a room full of trades and local businesses wanting to feed you work. Let us buy you breakfast this Wednesday. DM to come along.

What really goes on in a BNI meeting?

Referrals, recognition, hugs and breakfast - pretty much sums it up!

This week Emma McCullagh passed the Passport to Success programme! Emma is absolutely killing it as a member and takes our charity seat, representing Headway Essex!

We had a presentation from our ear cleaning foot magician, Jenny Oakley! Talking about her time in the US and her Maltease roots. The more we know, the more we adore you Jenny!

And last but certainly not least, James Kearney won the Oscar for nailing his 60 second pitch and reminding everyone why he is awesome - talk to him, he really knows about getting more leads from your website!

Come along to our meeting next week, meet business owners that know the customer you want to be in front of.

DM us to arrange your visit!

People think BNI is a bit culty because we love a system and talk about 'accountability' a lot. Honestly? We just like things that work.

And right now, a lot of our members’ businesses are growing faster than their admin skills can keep up with. They’re drowning in emails, booking errors, and chaotic calendars.

We need a brilliant VA in the room so we can stop outsourcing to random apps and start handing those monthly retainers to a local expert.

Are you our missing Virtual Assistant?

If you fancy a room of 20+ ready-made clients, come have breakfast with us this Wednesday at 6:30 AM. DM to book your spot.

Know a Virtual Assistant that is awesome? Tag them!

BNI Central was rocking this morning!

Our Ambassadar, Liz Connelly, was with us, helping to further educate the importance of 121 to meetings and getting to know members. With the simple task of booking a 121 with a fellow member at the end of the meeting.

Our Oscar winner is our Rolls Royce of a financial advisor, Clive Roberts of Chelmer Wealth - nailed his pitch and deserved the oscar!

And we also bid farewell to our Insurance Broker, Matt Ward!

He isn't leaving, just getting married.

We wish you all the best on your wedding day. Some of us will see you there.

See how this thing works now?

If you are part of us, you get business.

DM us to arrange a visit to one of our meetings!

Are you our missing LOCKSMITH? 🔑

Is BNI Central exclusive? Yes. Does it have a "lockout" system that keeps your competitors out? Absolutely.

But here’s the "risky" truth: Right now, we are practically a sales team for a Locksmith in a different BNI group. Our members are spotting security leads every week, but since our local chair is empty, we’re passing those golden opportunities to BNI members outside of Witham.

We’re loyal to the BNI network, but we’d much rather support a local pro at our own breakfast table. We have the leads, we just need the person to catch them.

Stop letting your referrals go to other chapters. Contact James Kearney at Focus Ecommerce & Marketing to secure your spot this Wednesday.

Are you our missing FLORIST? 🌹

In BNI, we live by Givers Gain®. It’s a powerful system, and honestly, it works so well it scares people.

Here’s the catch: our members are currently passing floral referrals for events and corporate gifts to Florists in other BNI chapters. Why? Because our Witham seat is vacant, and we take our "one trade per group" rule seriously.

The referrals are happening. The money is being spent. But right now, it’s driving past Rivenhall Oaks and going elsewhere. We need a local Florist to step in and claim what’s rightfully theirs before we send another lead to a different town.

Ready to be our exclusive Florist? Reach out to James Kearney at Focus Ecommerce & Marketing to join us as a guest.

Are you our missing BAKER? 🥖🎂🍰🧁🍪

Let’s talk about the "cult" of BNI. People think we’re intense because we meet at 06:30 AM at Rivenhall Oaks. The truth? We’re just protective of our success.

Right now, our members are generating referrals for cakes, catering, and artisan bread every single week. But because our Baker seat is empty, we’re having to send that business to BNI members in other chapters.

We’d much rather keep the profit at our table in Witham, but our lockout rule means we can’t give it to you unless you’re in the seat. Don't let another chapter take your dough.

Want to keep the business local? Contact James Kearney at Focus Ecommerce & Marketing to visit us this Wednesday.

BNI Central, what a place to be!

This morning was the dawn of a new month of shared success!

Isobel Chaplin of IJC Finance delivered a great feature presentation - proving that accountancy isnt boring, honest!

Our new oscar winner is our financial advisor and all round top guy, Clive Roberts!

3 members were very busy bringing visitors to the chapter, thank you James Kearney, Emma McCullagh and Jenny Oakley!

The most referrals and business generated for the chapter is our printer, Paul Gardner - also our newly appointed VP!

And our chapter champion and BNI loyalist, Richard Ingham.

All of the above is credit where it is due!

Well done all!

Last week's Recap!

Last week we welcomed Brian Gates to BNI Central and absorbed lots of key tips to help us to maximise our memberships!

Our sparky, Andrew Hughes gave a whopping 11 referrals which means its a Mexican wave! Thats right! (Video in the comments)

We wrapped the week up with a naughty but nice quiz to raise some money for our chapter charity, Headway Essex!

Thanks to Rivenhall Oaks Golf Centre for giving us the space!

Testimonials!

We all love to see when a client leaves a positive review, it boosts your credibility and also tells you that you have done a good job.

At BNI, we give testimonials when members either use each other's services and are happy, or even if the person they had referred had left a positive review or testimonial.

How does this help?
I builds trust and trust is what helps more members refer you. Which in turn helps to win more business.

Thank you Matt Ward for saving the day for Craig Collins!
