I been appointed to drive and facilitate the new

Huddersfield Town Business Club.

The Launch meeting was Friday (7th August) at the Galpharm Stadium. Thank you to those who came it was a great event with over 60 people there. (we did have 14 no-shows !!!)

There was a real mix of people from Networking virgins to experienced BNIers, 4Ners and other networkers and it was clear who was who.

The delegates had 6 opportunities to present their 60-90 seconds and there was a real difference and a lot of people struggled.

Remember you have 60 seconds (your elevator pitch)to
• introduce yourself
• Tell them what you do
• Explain the benefits for your product or service
• Explain what’s in it for them
• Tell them how to refer you and your business and
• Leave them wanting to know more, and want a 1-2-1.

So don’t waste your valuable time remember :

Everyone here wants to Network and promote their business and generate business opportunities for themselves and the other members.

They want to meet and get to know and trust you just as much as you want to meet and get to know and trust them.

So EMPOWER THEM by ensuring that YOUR 60 second opportunity enables them to help you.
