It has been shown by research that the best way of getting new business is by ‘word of mouth’
This is especially so on the Sunshine Coast as everyone seems to know everyone else and if you can get a good reputation going it’s easy to pick up extra business.
I have been a part of BNI (Business Networking International) for 5 years now and a large proportion of my business comes via the referrals I am passed at our weekly meetings.
The great thing about BNI is that you have NO COMPETITION, that’s because we only have 1 person per trade per chapter.
So we have 1 solicitor, 1 accountant, 1 IT support specialist etc etc.
In our chapter we passed over $720,000 in closed business last year, our target this year is over $800,000
If you are interested in being a part of the most successful referral organisation in the world then call me today or if you’d like to come for a visit then please be my guest, here are the details:
- We meet at the Alexandra Headland Surf Club every week
- The meeting runs Thursday mornings from 6:45am to 8:30am sharp
- The cost for a visit is $20 which includes a full ‘eat all you can’ buffet breakfast
- Bring plenty of business cards as you can pass them to all of the current members and visitors
- Have a 60 second infomercial ready so you can tell us all a little about your business
It’s as simple as that, if you like what you see you can apply to join and if there is no one in the group representing your trade you can become a member.
Here are details of some of our members:
Austech Office Supplies - Offer a complete range of office supplies from paper to desks, toner to filing cabinets - a real 1 stop shop for outfitting your office
