Getting the most out of this meeting: It's important for any in-person or virtual networking event that you're present, video on and ready to turn on your microphone. It's important for any in-person or virtual networking event that you're present, video on and ready to turn on your microphone. What you put in on the morning, is what you get out of the morning. If you're driving your kids to school, running at the gym or working, then it's unlikely you'll experience what this event will offer.

We have a rapidly growing group of likeminded business professionals in decision making roles that meet every week. The SBM and SME businesses in our community mainly do business with their SME and corporate connections.

This is a networking opportunity for the members and visitors of our group who meet weekly and normally pass referrals to each other (all in different industries).

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	For the in-person event, we have an à la carte breakfast and barista coffee coffee. It's normal to have a home made pick me up coffee. What's not normal is driving in the car, running on a treadmill or skydiving while in the meeting. We will all have our camera on because being engaged is being present.
VIRTUAL WELCOME	You'll be greeted, provided info on all our members and it's best to make sure your name online is yours. Either someone from our group or I will introduce you to people we think you'll benefit from meeting as the coffee comes out.
MEETING	We then sit for breakfast as Paul Kingston, our President presents an intro, then 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 Tim Ash 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 "Messed Up Murray Events" where members will run a entertaining skit around how businesses in the room (and include visitors) can help to resolve business challenges together.
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.
