Messed Up Murray Express", with everyone from our members to attendee's working together to solve personal and business issues, it's a SELL OUT so book in advance today!
| 1. VIRTUAL NETWORKING (Global Reach) ~First Wednesday Monthly | 2. IN PERSON NETWORKING (Local Connection) ~ Weekly | 3. MESSED UP MURRAY EXPRESS (Interactive and Collaborative) ~Once every two (2) months |
There is only one question for SMB and SME business directors, partners, CxO's and that is can you effort not to turn up?
Wednesday is called hump day for a reason, you're in the middle of the week and smack bang between two weekends .. Rather than feeling in limbo, we spice things up by driving business between business directors, decision makers and leaders over a great networking breakfast. Starting the day with engaging and empowering conversations to drive new opportunities will change your feeling of Wednesdays forever...
Do you want to grow your Business and network in a structured, professional and fun and friendly environment that is guaranteed to deliver referrals that grow your business?

OVERVIEW
| PRE-NETWORKING | Before breakfast, you will be provided some further information about our BNI group. There is never pressure to join or to do business with anyone, it's more about growing everyone’s network for good and reliable businesses. From my personal experience, everyone enjoys catching up, having a laugh, exchanging stories. The opportunities of business naturally flow between our members and guests because of the relationships we form. |
|---|---|
| BREAKFAST | When you arrive, there will be a nice breakfast as we enter our meeting and you'll be spoilt with a coffee kick to start the day. If you are filling in on behalf of a member who was unable to attend, as they have paid in advance, so you will receive their breakfast as a thank you from them, there is no need to register here. |
| You'll be greeted, provided info on all our members, and your name tag (we all have them). Either someone from our group or I will introduce you to people we think you'll benefit meeting. | |
| MEETING | We then sit for breakfast as Paul Kingston, our President gives an intro, where you'll be welcomed to the group. You’ll have around 20 seconds to introduce yourself with name, business and what you do. eg. “Thanks for inviting me along today, I'm Bob Smith from Smith Electrical, focused in Domestic and Commercial Electrical work. I’m looking to connect with ” Our Vice President Jake Taylor will discuss the flow of business and the opportunities for other business decision makers to join our thriving business community. Members will introduce themselves with each member giving a ~60 seconds intro to let you know who they are before we pass business cards around the room for anyone you wish to connect with after the meeting. |
| FEATURE PRESENTATION | Each week a different member of our group will do a 10-minute presentation on their business or instead we have a scheduled group Q&A Panel Presentation showing how multiple business work together and what areas of business they seek outside our group, which opens opportunity for others to join our group. On occasion we run meetings with VVIP speakers which replace this section and sometimes other parts of the meeting. We also run "Stack Day's" where members will run a entertaining skit around how businesses in the room (and possibly include visitors) can help to resolve business challenges. |
| POST-NETWORKING | After breakfast, you will be provided some further information about our BNI group. There is never pressure to join or to do business with anyone, it's more about growing everyone’s network for good and reliable businesses. From my personal experience, everyone enjoys catching up, having a laugh, exchanging stories. The opportunities of business naturally flow between our members and guests because of the relationships we form. |
| Q&A | You don't know what you don't know, and the most powerful shift can be when you know what you don't know. Similar when one person you didn't know can change your business. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me before, on or after the day. I hope you enjoy your time with us. |
