Well this morning was an early start for me, one of Step by Step's Supporters Elizabeth of The Redpath Consultancy asked me to substitute for her at her BNI Chapter at the Merrist Wood Golf Club, Guildford. Having been a member of a few Chapters of BNI in a previous post, it took very little convincing! BNI has proven itself to me as the leading referral organisation time and time again, how else would you get to pitch your business to 20-40 business people/owners, all of whom WANT to give you business all before 9am?!
The philosophy of BNI is "Givers Gain" and give is what the generous members of this BNI Chapter and their visitors did this morning!
After giving Elizabeth's 60 second speech about her business I was able to talk about Step by Step, I gave an example of how a young person might become homeless and how a number of our clients come to need our help and I told them about our 'Buy a Brick' Campaign for our New Build. The support was overwhelming and 12 Bricks were bought by BNI members- £120 raised and all before 9am!!
I'd like to say a big thank you to BNI Guildford http://www.bniguildford.com/ for the warm welcome and support you showed me and for giving me a great start to my day, you'll rarely find me so full of beans after a pre 6am start but I was so touched by the support that was shown that you couldn't wipe the smile off of my face if you tried!
