  Referral Radar – A Collaborative Brainstorm for Business Connections

  At our upcoming meeting we’ll be running a short interactive activity designed to help members uncover new referral opportunities and strategic connections.

  Many business owners naturally ask for the obvious referral — the customer who is ready to buy. However, some of the most valuable introductions come from the wider network around your business.

  In our Referral Radar session, members will write down one connection they would love to make in the next three months. Together, the room will then help brainstorm additional possibilities — including complementary businesses, collaborators, suppliers, or strategic partners that could open new doors.

  This activity taps into the collective knowledge and experience of the group, helping members see opportunities they may not have considered on their own.

  Come ready to share one connection that could make a real difference in your business.

  
  

  Plus of course you'll have the opportunity to introduce yourself and your business to those present at the meeting as you deliver your 20 second Elevator Pitch.

  Spread the word, invite a friend to register and make it your business to join us!

  
  

  Kind regards

  What Foster Care Taught Me About Growing Businesses

  Our special presentation this week comes from Brendan Rogers, founder of Leader By Design where he helps business owners build high-performing, self-managing teams.

  "Most business owners try to grow their teams and revenue before building the foundation their people need to thrive. In this session, I'll share how my fostering journey - helping children who have experienced trauma build safety, trust, and eventually flourish - taught me the same principles I now use to help business owners build profitable, scalable businesses.

  You'll discover the 7-Milestone Growth Path I created for business growth and leadership development, and how the same human needs that help foster children thrive are exactly what your team needs to perform at their best."

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Plus of course you'll have the opportunity to introduce yourself and your business to other small business owners and managers as you present your 20 second Elevator Pitch.

  Spread the word, invite a friend to register and make it your business to join us!

  How To Easily Design A High Impact Value Proposition

  Ever feel like you know what you offer… but struggle to express it in a way that truly lands with the right people?

  In this practical session, Paul Forrest will show you how to design a Unique, Meaningful and Compelling Value Proposition that speaks directly to your ideal client — and positions you as the obvious choice.

  With decades of experience across recruitment, business development, and sales training (including generating millions in revenue), Paul brings real-world strategies that work — especially for those who don’t see themselves as “salespeople”.

  You’ll walk away with a clear structure, simple language, and the confidence to engage prospects in a way that converts — without the stress.

  
  

  Plus of course you'll have the opportunity to introduce yourself and your business to other small business owners and managers as you present your 20 second Elevator Pitch.

  General Knowledge
  Movies & TV
  Music Through the Decades

  SBNG Trivia

  Plus there’ll be extra games throughout the night, lucky door prizes, and prizes for every member of the winning table!

  Gather your team of 6 and come along for a relaxed and entertaining night.  Bring your partner, family, friends or workmates — everyone is welcome.️

  
  

  How Will the Night Work?

  Guests are welcome to arrive from 6:00pm to settle in, meet their team, order dinner and drinks, and come up with their all-important team name before we kick off the first trivia round at 6:20pm sharp.

  We’ve built plenty of time into the evening for food, drinks, extra games, and catching up between rounds — so you can relax, enjoy the atmosphere, and have some fun along the way.

  We expect the evening to wrap up at approximately 10:00pm.

  
  

  Tickets:

  • $60 Table of 6
  • $10 Single Ticket (we’ll match you with a team on the night)

  Seats will be limited, so book early to avoid disappointment!

  And if tickets do happen to sell out, don’t panic — we’ll also have a waitlist available, so pop your name down… you never know, your luck might turn!
