About BNI Iolanthe
Every Thursday morning, a group of business people meet at the Master Robert Hotel in Osterley and refer work to each other over breakfast. By 8.30am, the meeting is all over, leaving them to continue with their working day in the knowledge that they have given the other members of the group an idea of what business they are looking for that week.
BNI provides a structured, supportive, business environment in which local business people can get together to network, learn valuable new marketing skills, and develop the strong personal relationships that lead to trust, and thereby the consequent generation of significant business for each other.
Being a BNI member is like having up to 40 sales people working for you, because your fellow members will be carrying your cards and referring your business to people they meet, all without you having to pay them a salary or commission. Successful businesses depend on 'word-of-mouth' marketing as the best form of endorsement they can have.
