Every week we have a 10 mins speaker slot and whoever speaks brings a prize. The winner is drawn from the new business opportunities introduced that week. Its just a small token to recognise members and also to serve as a reminder about the speaker.
This week the leadership team organised a speed 1-to-1 to enable members and visitors alike to quickly find out about potential business referrals and build some trust with each other.
The prize was a hardback copy of one of Michael E Gerber’s classic E-Myth books, as recommended by our leading Preston accountant Roger Bessent. There was a quite a bit of interest in the book, click the picture for more details from Amazon.
One of the key elements of the BNI toolkit is the 1-to-1 meeting. A good meeting can drive extra referrals and more business, deepen relationships and trigger those moments of ‘I didn’t know you did that’. In turn leading to more business. We’ve just had a busy March with plenty of this going on and the new leadership team wanted to recognise the busiest members. Top of the table are Louise from Coxhead Cleaning Services and Jane from Winter Bookkeeping but a virtual round of applause to the biggest climbers this month – Jackie Williams of Primary Graphics and Mike Farrell of Utilities Warehouse.
The latest BNI Lancashire video with highlights from the recent members day at DeVere Whites, Bolton Reebok is now online. Its pretty much dominated by members from this BNI group – Russ, Tracy, Dave, Michael, and Jan our former chapter director. Come and meet them live – on a Tuesday morning at Shaw Hill golf club.
What’s with all the TLAs in BNI? Probably the most important is VCP … read on for Ivan’s explanation
The members of Olympus have a long standing reputation for running popular Visitor Days where a meeting is opened up for companies to come along and find out about the group. We’ll help you with business contacts and making personal introductions to key decision-makers in companies both local and international, small and large.
Visitors went away having enjoyed the meeting and some received new business immediately. For our members it was a chance to network with a wide circle of contacts – you never know where that next dream referral is coming from. Who would be your new best client?

With my best Michael Caine impression – “not many people know that …”
Video from a BNI Lancashire & South Pennines business meeting.
… was actually filmed on location at BNI Olympus – not saying we must be the best group in the region, but why else would the film crew come and document one of our meetings! Come and see for yourself – and we’ll see if we can find you some new customers whilst you’re at it.
BNI Olympus will be holding a visitor morning on Tuesday 16 February 2010 at Shaw Hill Golf Club, kicking off at 6.45am. If you’ve heard about BNI but never been along this will be the perfect time to come and find out all about BNI.
Past BNI visitor events at Olympus have been attended by 50-60 or more local companies, looking to help each other find that perfect business introduction.
This could be the dream start to 2010 for your business, just come and tell us who you would most like to meet. What customer would transform your business?
If you’re interested in coming along then drop a quick note to membership@bnipreston.co.uk for details. We have been short of space at events previously so book your place sooner rather than later. Alternatively give Mike a call on 07740 363232 if you just want some info.
Look forward to seeing you all on 16 Feb and doing some smart business – not just any business!
