i went along to one of those business breakfast clubs last week in chester and found it quite interesting got a couple of leads and had a nice brekkie for the price of a tenner. there was only about 14 people there so im not sure if there are other meeting where there are more people from walks of life.they tend to have one person for each career/trade and people pass on work to one another.
does anyone else go along to these and had any good work from them???
Yep, I went to one last year. £10 for full fry up, about 15 other people there from all different business'.
From that one meeting I got one small industrial unit for £25 every 6 weeks (20 minutes max), £30 for some offices every 4 weeks (20 mnutes max) and a large industrial unit every 6 months for £175 (4 hours max). I was also asked to quote for 2 different industrial units, 1 I didnt get and the othe I turned down due to difficult access.
I have been meaning to go back there again but will start in the new year.
Sounds like the BNI network. There over here in Ireland too. I went to one as a guest got a job but haven't been back since.
Its a very early start and you can only miss something like 3 times in the year or your out.
My Sister in law is the Assistant director of BNI Ireland. She keeps telling me to sign up as Window Cleaning is probably the easiest to get work for (BNI says you have to 'try to' bring work for one other business to every meeting). Will join up for that next year here in the UK
