Well, actually it’s only a secret if your business is based
outside Leicestershire. If you are based
in Leicestershire, you clearly have not been paying attention. Working hard?
What kind of an excuse is that?
Anyway, Morgan Gleave Art & Design was privileged to be
invited by Emma Wennington to design the promotional material for her new and
innovative business networking organisation, TBR Networking.
Chocks Away
Chocks, not chocolate.
Honestly, Linda!
Morgan and Linda attended the TBR Networking Launch on Friday 13
November 2015 at St Martin’s House, Leicester.
For a few hours, work consisted of drinking, eating, meeting nice people
and getting some useful business tips.
If only that happened every working day…
Far from an unlucky launch date, all went smoothly and
everybody appeared to enjoy the experience.
Without doubt many people got a lot out of it.
You Snooze, You Loose
As soon as Morgan started working with Emma and became
familiar with her new concept, he was keen to be involved. It was clear from the start that this was
something new and different, and that Morgan Gleave Art & Design would be
forgoing an excellent opportunity by not joining.
Networking is not new to Linda and Morgan but there are few
differences between the different organisations. Further, some consider many of the
‘differences’ disadvantages.
Morgan loves going to breakfast meetings because he gets a
full English breakfast - cholesterol, waistline, salt – but then has to have a
‘grandad nap’ in the afternoon to recover.
Giggle.
As for the pyramid selling approach to networking where
pressure is applied to recruit more and more members - far too stressful for a
sensitive little flowers such as the Morgan Gleave Art & Design partners.
Linda and the Round
Table
Sorry, that was irresistible…
Linda was lucky enough to be asked by Emma to lead a table
and therefore experienced one of the benefits of the new way of networking
first hand.
For those of you who were unable to make it, among other
differences, the group is mutually supportive and every member who wishes to
gets the opportunity to lead a table discussion.
Leading a discussion is not about selling to other members
of the group – although that will naturally happen as strong business
relationships are forged – but about strengthening each of the businesses
within the TBR group.
During this discussion exercise, the object was to be
mutually supportive. The discussion leader
is not trying to sell; s/he is asking for help and advice. The other participants are not trying to sell;
they are offering help with no strings attached.
Linda or Morgan? Morgan or Linda? There’s only one way to find out! Fight!
The launch was enormously successful - how could it not be
when the model is clearly beneficial to all involved. Classy too.
We like classy.
Morgan and Linda will be fighting to go to the lunch
meetings. Linda WILL win. If he’s very lucky indeed, Linda will allow
Morgan to take advantage of the free professional portrait included as part of the
TBR package.
Someone with the initial M is mumbling in the corner. Muttley.
All Aboard!
Are you going to be at the first lunch? If not, why not? Explain yourself (wo)man!
Disclaimer
Morgan Gleave Art & Design has no interest in TBR other
than as a member like any other. We
just know how much Emma has put into this project and how passionate she is
about creating a different, more focused system of networking.
If we did not genuinely believe that it is a brilliant idea,
we would not have mentioned it.
