Introduction

• Welcome to YOUR Business For Breakfast

• BforB is about generating Qualified referrals, recommendations and introductions that turn into business.

• We meet fortnightly for regular briefing, support and the passing of Business.

• The purpose of BforB is to build relationships for doing business

Introduction

BforB will work for you if:

• Show commitment to contribute by attending

• Have1-2-1’s with your fellow members

• pass referrals to group members – we are all marketing for each other

3 step process:

1. Getting to Know someone through regular group meetings & 1-2-1‘s

2. Getting to Like them through these meetings

3. Developing Trust so that you are willing to share your customers and business contacts

Once Know, Like and Trust is in place - then referrals will flow.

Why does BforB work so well?

• Current members bring along valued guests who we hope will join and help grow the group.

• Between meetings our members conduct 1-2-1 meetings to build know, like and trust

• BforB provides training opportunities for you e.g. improving your networking & business skills.

How does BforB work?

In In BforB we have only 2 ground rules:

1. We only work with people who are serious about growing their business through quality referrals and who will contribute quality referrals back to the team

2. We prefer to grow by recommendation and personal introduction which is why we ask members to bring along guests to sample BforB for themselves.

Ground Rules

1. Market sector exclusivity for your business in your group.

2. Qualified referrals that lead to profitable business from your trusted fellow group members

3. Reliable new suppliers from group members and their associates
