Visitors day 15th October, welcomed new faces Another successful visitors day was achieved, welcoming some brand new faces that were looking in to ways of promoting their businesses through meeting our BNI chapter. Some great ideas were put forward to our visitors as to how they could generate new relationships and contacts in their spheres and the ethos behind the BNI "Give is gain" strategy. We also welcomed other BNI members from other chapters and swapped ideas and theories, forging new contacts within the BNI organisation itself.We look forward to the next visitors day which has been marked for the 17th November. If you are interested in attending this or just a regular BNI meeting, then please contact an existing member. 10th September Visitors day was a great success. There was a brilliant turnout for the visitors day with a strong presence from a variety of professions. Greyfriars was certainly buzzing with the 30 early risers that attended to see and experience the BNI refferal organisation in action. Visitors had the chance to speak for one minute to the rest of the room about the nature of their business and the type of clients that they would like to meet. The visitors also got to see the BNI referral system that involves the passing of refferal slips for potential business around the table. This was not an exclusive privilage of existing members and some visitors were pleased to recieve referral slips for their business. If you are interested in attending another visitors day or would like to attend a regular BNI meeting as a visitor then please contact an exisiting member or use the contact us section.

WELCOME  A very warm welcome to the BNI Ringwood Networking website. Ringwood, for those that don't know it, nestles on the Hampshire and Dorset border. We are a group of local business men and women who meet in Ringwood every week to network and support each other with the development and growth of our individual businesses. Although we are a “Local Group” (also known as a chapter) we are part of a much wider organisation called BNI, which is the most successful business networking organisation of its type in the world. There are numerous advantages to becoming a member of BNI, not least because it gives us a proven and highly successful framework to operate within.
Our primary objective is to generate quality business referrals for each other through our own contacts. To achieve this we have an ongoing process to educate each other about our own businesses, so that our colleagues are fully equipped to sell the benefits with confidence when the opportunity arises. We are not in competition with each other because we only allow one person from each business category to join. Once that position is taken it locks out your competitors.
If you are interested in finding out more, and benefit from the actual business that is currently available for your category, why not join us as a guest at one of our weekly networking meetings? It's easy to attend, simply use the 'contact us' page. BNI is the place where business is done in Ringwood. WHY NOT JOIN US FOR BREAKFAST at Greyfriars Community Centre, Ringwood every Thursday at 7 AM? |
