2007 Big Breakfast a HUGE Success

I would like to thank the 140 members and guest who attend the BNI Big Breakfast held in Newcastle last Friday. Whilst the purpose for holding the event was only ever to thank members for growing BNI in the region and to have some fun, there have been several success stories I would like to share with you.

• One member reported that he meet 15 new business owners during the business card scramble and as a result of following up, now has 13 new appointments this week that he didn't have last week. As Rohan Merry (BNI Tower) says, Fortune is in the follow up!
• Another member has been given an opportunity to present their product in front of a Major financial institution, which could ripple effect into further referrals from within the same organisation.
• A strong referral worth around $13,000 was passed from one member to another (different chapters)

I have already begun the planning stages to make next years Big Breakfast bigger and better.
When would you like a BNI Big Breakfast event in your region?
