From the last meetings and today’s discussion of future topics there is a strong feeling for more information on how to improve sales (and get new business).
John Evans raised some very good points on the whys and wherefores of how our group should and could be helping each other more with generating business.
So we’d like some topics and help around generating sales.
Today we also discussed how the BRG web site, or A web site of some nature, may help us to better refer clients and perhaps plug some of the skills gaps in our group.
Blogs (maybe free Blogspot blog through Google) were suggested as was a Facebook group.
A central resource of some kind for blogging, articles, testimonials, discussion etc. was seen probably beneficial.
Putting BRG in the social media may have an automatic wider benefit aside from the initial membership participating.
Julian will be talking to you (Carolyn) in more detail about this later today.
It was also suggested that we may include a feedback session on a memebrs business to explore market perceptions etc. Perhaps in place of or part of the 10 minute presentations.
We’d also like reminders for the BDM in the intervening weeks. Without topics or at least a reminder people forget that they are on.
I’ll add our members to my outlook calendar appointment (accepting that will put an appropriate entry in your compatible calendar program).
Lastly we discussed revisiting Craig’s host-beneficiary strategy in conjunction with seminars for our clients. Amanda suggested a more personal one-on-one type option within the seminars so that slients could to talk anyone from our BRG and get something personalised to take away as opposed to a bunch of general presentations (death by powerpoint).
