Please reserve your spot at bit.ly/bnitickets - do not RSVP here on MeetUp. Please mention Jerry invited you.
BNI Momentum are a motivated group of business owners and business professionals who meet weekly to refer business to each other. (ordinarily we meet in Brighton, Bayside Melbourne). And now more than ever you can't afford to be losing connections you would have normally made face to face. BNI has embraced online networking, so come and join us!
BNI is business as usual, but currently we are meeting online, and already our meetings still have the same amazing buzz with loads of Referrals, business and 1:1 meetings go ahead every week.
Please arrive online by 10.15am (but from 10am) so you have plenty of time network and before our meeting officially starts at 10.30am.
You will be emailed the weekly online link from the BNI Momentum Visitor Host team. So look out for an email from bnimomentumvisitorhosts@gmail.com - or please email that address if you have not received something by the Monday night before your chosen event date.
Come along and network with people who want to refer you business. Learn the system, get some business education, hear from our weekly speakers. If you want to grow your business through referrals in a system guaranteed to work, then come along and see why BNI is the World's most successful networking organisation.
Business Networking opportunity

Come along and meet our group of small business owners dedicated to growing each others' businesses through referrals and support and see how we can help your business grow too.
We meet live at **268 Canterbury Road Surrey Hills** (Ground floor of Our HQ, entrance off Redvers Street with street parking) every Tuesday from 7am until 8.30am with networking opportunities after the meeting.
You can come twice as a guest before being asked to join as a full, fee-paying member and share in the referral and broader networking advantages of our strong group.

Thanks for visiting our meetup group for information for BNI Potomac Business Alliance where I am honored to hold the Title Insurance seat. During this meeting you will meet other local business professionals from a wide variety of industries who commit to providing excellent service to people within our shared networks. We will pass over 1.5 million dollars of business in 2022-2023. and we want you to consider applying to be a part of our referral network. So come out, enjoy an excellent breakfast, learn a little more about me and Title Insurance, and consider being a part of a fantastic group of business professionals. Be prepared to tell everyone about your business in about 30 seconds or less. We want to know what you do but have to keep it short so we can complete the meeting's agenda, we want to honor your time!
• 30 second elevator speech? What do I say?!
Your Name
Your Company's Name
What your company does (in basic form)
One key difference maker (deliver on-time, on budget. or We close complicated cases. or We can sell your home quickly and for top dollar. Etc...)
Who you would like to meet in the room or in the area (so we can refer you business :-) )
Keep it short and sweet, there will be plenty of time after and before the meeting to get to know other people in the group and even opportunities to schedule "one to one/1:2:1" meetings. We love to grab our coffee and go out to a spot in the lobby afterwards in one on ones to discuss how we can work together, get to know each other, get business done! So plan a little extra time to meet if need be.
Simply Social - Reston
We had a great conversation the last time we went here. For everyone attending this was a new find, a cafe tucked away on the upper level, not immediately noticeable by the average visitor to this shopping center. I’ll probably have a matcha, but get whatever you like, and start the weekend off right.
(No discussions on politics, religion or potentially controversial topics. We're here to relax and have fun. Just be respectful and we'll be alright. Pay your own way, and enjoy!)
