Ramblings and Observations

BNI Bilberry - doing my bit

It was great to be able to support the Visitors Day for the BNI Bilberry Group at Hillscourt in Lickey last week.  I gave a brief keynote on how BNI helped my business and how it works.

It's a simple philosophy - Givers Gain.  Those of us with SME businesses know that word of mouth marketing is uber-important.  I read recently that 98% of businesses rely on referrals to gain new business, but only 3% have a strategy for referrals.  Mad!

Resource Management

John's company are in the process of launching a new online resource management tool.  Take a look at www.projexcutilise.com.  If you would be interested in joining the pilot community, you would benefit from a free pilot period, and meaty discounts after commercial launch.  All we ask in return is honest feedback and ideas for enhancements or improvements.

The service has been developed in response to requests from clients, and it has many uses in making the most of valuable resources (people or things) online.  Back of envelope projections from some of our contacts suggest a return of fifty times the investment!

If you're interested, give John a call.
