New business opportunities

BNI The Business Referral Organisation | De Montfort Chapter, Leicester

Agenda

Welcome to our agenda. Here at the DeMontfort Chapter we have a breakfast meeting, held every Thursday morning, and we start EARLY!

This gives us the opportunity to meet without encroaching on precious business hours. After a hearty breakfast and a good meeting we can capitalise on the energy and referrals we have received.

6:30am Arrival and sign-in
6:45am Open networking - an opportunity to meet any visitors, and discuss business prospects with your BNI colleagues
7:05am Breakfast - we collect our breakfast from the buffet service
7:30am 60 second slot - Members and visitors have 60 seconds to educate everyone about their business and request introductions into specific businesses or markets.
8:00am 10 Minute Slot - Each week one member has the opportunity to present their business to the rest of the membership for a full 10 minutes. This is a FANTASTIC opportunity, as you can cover considerably more in this 10 minutes than you can in your usual 60 seconds.
8:10am The 'I have' section - In this section members can do one of the following:
  • Pass referrals of potential business to a member
  • Provide a testimonial to a member for a piece of highly professional work that has been done for a member or a client
  • 1-2-1 thank a member for their time during a 1-2-1 meeting held in the previous week
8:30am Meeting closes - (allowing you to get back to the office on time!)
