You are invited to the breakfast meeting of the Cobbold Chapter of Business Network International at David Lloyds Gyms (formerly Next Generation) Ransomes Euro Park, Nacton Road, Ipswich IP3 9SJ on Friday 29th January 2010, at 7.00am – 9.00am.

Business referrals are the lifeline of most businesses, and if you could benefit from a weekly meeting passing business to likeminded people, then we would be happy to share this business with you.  No catches, no time wasted just business.

BNI is a business and professional networking organisation whose primary purpose is to exchange qualified business referrals and as word of mouth is the best advertising around, could YOU benefit from this kind of business networking, let me put it this way, could you afford to give up 2 hours and have a look?

What makes BNI unique is that it allows only one person per profession to join a chapter. Thus, once you’ve joined, there is no conflict in passing leads, and none of your competitors can participate!  The Cobbold chapter is currently looking for more professions to refer business to.

We would like to invite you to the next meeting so you can learn more about the organisation, and find out if you would be interested in generating a steady source of referral business for yourself.

Seating will be limited, so please RSVP by contacting us by email.  There is a nominal £8.50 meeting fee, which includes a buffet breakfast.  If you have any questions, please contact us.  Remember to bring plenty of business cards to pass around, as you will meet a lot of local business people.

Please ensure you contact us prior to arranging to attend, we can only accept businesses who profession is not already taken. Should your business category conflict with an existing member, you will be unable to attend.

Dr. Ivan Misner, Founder & Chairman of BNI, the worlds largest business networking organization, gives 5 suggestions to help overcome fear of public speaking. In part 2, Dr Misner discusses “Being Specific”.

BNI Connect is the next generation of technology for BNI. Read more about the project here. We look forward to supporting our members and chapters online with the new technology!

Dr. Misner announced this project in May 2008 at the US National Conference in Orlando, Florida:

BNI has a golden opportunity to step in and fill the void that exists in most networking organizations by integrating our existing worldwide network with an online support system that addresses franchise management, member education, and global networking. We are on the precipice of change and we have the chance to lock-in our lead as the world’s largest networking organization for the next decade and beyond. This is a chance for BNI to work together as a team and truly “change the way the world does business” by integrating core technologies to meet the needs of a changing business environment.

We look forward to sharing the progress on this project with BNI around the world. Enjoy!
