How the club works

Members & guests come to breakfast every second week. If members can't attend we send someone else from our organisation. If we don't have anyone who can come, we or the group will find a substitute who will represent both the member's business and their own. That way everyone meets more people, substitutes get a free breakfast and the absent member doesn't miss out.

Every guest can introduce themselves but each member has the chance to give a one minute pitch about their business. We use these to tell people what we do and also what sort of client we are looking for.

Each meeting has a different speaker. Members one time and an outside speaker the next. Members' talks cover both their business and some outside passion. We believe that sharing your enthusiasms can help you generate opportunities - because people like to do business with people they like.

We like to give each other free advice over breakfast, take business lead referrals and swap helpful information.

Why it works

• The more everyone knows about each others' businesses the more likely we are to see an opportunity.
• The better people know you the more likely they are to want to do business with you.
• There is no pressure to sell, no requirement to bring in and exchange referrals. Good leads happen naturally and won't come immediately.
• Because everyone can learn from hearing about the experiences of others.
• Because we try to avoid the usual networking cliches.
