What a fantastic session we had on Friday. Thank you to all our guests who came and made it such a great meeting. Visitors always bring a lovely dimension to the proceedings and as we say at Evesham BNI, the more the merrier!

To keep increasing our business contacts bring along a guest of interest to meet the group and gain some reciprocal business.

8 April 2007 Meeting notes

Education Slot From Mike Long.

Mike’s message this week was showing us how the words we use communicate only 7% of the message.
The most effective part of communicating is the action and tonality not just the words we use.

Thank you Mike.
