"Networking doesn't work"
"BNI is too structured"
"I did lots but didn't get anything back"

We've heard it all, and failure rarely is the case when the member follows the guidelines on activity

➡️Turn up to the meetings, be early, help with set up, participate with the running of the meeting
➡️ Organise 121s and discuss your challenges, goals and share insights
➡️ Talk to people, don't be a secret Networker, let your clients, family and friends know you're connected to trusted businesses
➡️CEU's (Chapter Education Units), whether at a laptop or on the go, BNI provides many ways for members to learn how to maximise their BNI jour ey and develop their skills

Get those right and the rest will follow, people will come to you asking for contacts or pay a visit to the group.

The rest will follow 💪🏻

Thank you Sharon Lewin from Kudos Designs and Websites Ltd for that reminder 🙏🏻

When you meet Ray Carr from Key Accountants, you'd think he is a shy and reserved gent.
Not at all! Ray is one of the most active and creative accountant we've ever met.

▶️Making Tax Digital, Quarterly Returns applicable to Sole traders and landlords​ for annual turnover of:
£50k - Apr26​
£30k - Apr27​

🔹Adapt to your business​
🔸Training​

Why be part of a networking group?

Let's say you work for yourself, from home or via a client based.

➡️Who do you get to exchange ideas with about how to run your business?
➡️Who helps you expand your network and introduce you to potential clients?
➡️Who do you ask for expert advice when managing your admin, accounts, social media and sales?

Starting your own business or managing one can leave you feeling isolated and overwhelmed 🫣

By mingling with peers on a regular basis, you get to learn from one another.

At BNI Business Connect, we have experts on Admin, Digital Marketing, Accounting, Finances, Utilities, Trades and more

💪🏻Join us on a Wednesday morning 6.45am at The PitcHes Rugby Club in Hinckley to meet those connected experts, grow your audience and build your skills/confidence

Mortgages - A minefield of choice, but where to start?

Steve and team at Mortgage Advice Bureau - Hinckley have the experience, knowledge and ability to match the right kind of mortgage to your needs.

Whether you're buying for the 1st time, mortgaging, buying to let or need to release equity in your pension years, these guys can help.

You will get the best rate possible for your mortgage quote and can have it changed to an even better rate if this comes along before completion.

They're based in Hinckley, however they can help anyone all across the UK. They have many repeat customers and have now seen the children of those they helped in the past come to them.

If you have plans to move, sell or even extend, speak to Steve and team and plan ahead.
