𝗧𝗼𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗻𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸?

We get it.

When you run a business, there is always something that needs doing. Clients to look after, quotes to send, emails to answer and a list that somehow seems longer at the end of the day than it was at the beginning.

So taking a couple of hours out of your week to meet other business owners can feel like something you simply don’t have time for.

But there’s another way to look at it.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗿𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁?

Networking isn’t supposed to be another job on your list.

Done well, it’s about building relationships with people who get to know your business, understand the clients you can help and can recognise an opportunity for you when you’re not there. That relationship-building is central to BNI’s approach to networking.

At BNI Gateway, we’re doing that work together.

We’re getting to know businesses we can confidently recommend. We’re making introductions. We’re sharing contacts. And we’re becoming a more useful resource for our own clients because our network extends well beyond the service each of us personally provides.

𝗠𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 “𝗗𝗼 𝗜 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗻𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸?”

Maybe it’s worth asking what having the right network around your business could do for you.

Come and spend a Thursday morning with us at BNI Gateway and see what we actually do. Email Corrina at [email protected] or message the page for an invite.

📸 𝗪𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗿.
A great photographer doesn’t simply take photos. They capture personalities, milestones, businesses and moments people want to remember.
From branding sessions and professional headshots to events, families and celebrations, photography is a service people regularly ask their trusted contacts to recommend.

“𝗗𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗮 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗿?”

BNI Gateway would love to meet a photographer who delivers a fantastic client experience and wants to build genuine relationships with other local professionals.

A photographer could naturally connect with our business owners who regularly encounter opportunities for quality photography.
The more our members understand your style, services and ideal clients, the easier it becomes for them to recognise the right referrals for you.

If you’re a photographer looking to grow through trusted local connections, we’d love to welcome you to a BNI Gateway meeting.
Or perhaps you already 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 who would be a great addition to our room. Tag them below or send them this post. Contact Corrina at [email protected] for your invitation to attend.

𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗪𝗘𝗕𝗦𝗜𝗧𝗘 𝗜𝗦 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗢𝗡𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗟 𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗧𝗘 🏠💻

You’ve invested in a website for your business, but is it actually doing what it needs to do?
This week, our Feature Presenter Anton Bardin from Simple Digital Agency is asking us to look at our websites through three simple questions:
🔎 Can people find you?
💡 Can they quickly understand what you do?
👉 Is it easy for them to take the next step?

During his presentation, he’ll use practical examples from his client work to show what those three questions look like in the real world and where businesses can improve.
If you own a small business, have a website that could be working harder, or know someone who needs help with their website, this is a great opportunity to come along and learn more about what Anton does.

Join us at 𝗕𝗡𝗜 𝗚𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘄𝗮𝘆 this Thursday morning.

🍪 𝗪𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿.
Birthdays, baby showers, weddings, business events, client gifts and milestone celebrations—there is always something worth celebrating.
And when someone needs a cake that looks as good as it tastes, or beautifully decorated cookies created especially for the occasion, they usually ask:
“𝗗𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲?”

BNI Gateway would love to meet a talented custom baker who wants to build relationships with local businesses and become the person our members confidently recommend. Imagine being connected with business owners who regularly hear about upcoming events and special occasions.

That’s how referral relationships work. The better people understand your creations, your ideal orders and what makes your service special, the easier it becomes for them to recognise opportunities for you.

If you create custom cookies or cakes and would like to grow through genuine local connections, we’d love to welcome you to a BNI Gateway meeting.

What would happen if you put 50 great North Brisbane business owners in one room every Thursday morning?

An accountant knows a property buyer who needs finance.
A mortgage broker meets someone renovating and knows a builder.
A builder's client needs landscaping.
The landscaper's customer asks about an electrician.
Someone at the table mentions they're unhappy with their insurance.

And suddenly one conversation has created opportunities for people who weren't even there when it started.
That's the power of a connected business community.
𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝘄𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴.
BNI Gateway is growing, deliberately.

More great businesses.
More trusted relationships.
More connections.
More opportunities for everyone.

If you're good at what you do and you'd like a room full of other good businesses to get to know you, we'd love you to come and see what we're building. Send us a message for your invitation to join us one Thursday morning soon.

🙌 𝗪𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿.

When someone is looking for help with their movement, posture or musculoskeletal health, choosing the right practitioner matters.
They don’t always want another name from a Google search. They often ask someone they trust:
“𝗗𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗮 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿?”

BNI Gateway would love to meet a chiropractor who provides professional, patient-focused care and wants to build genuine relationships with other trusted local businesses. By helping our members understand who you help, how you work and what makes your approach different, you can become the person they think of when that question comes up.

That’s the value of referral marketing—building enough trust that others feel confident introducing you to people they know.
If you’re a chiropractor looking to grow your business through strong local connections, we’d love to welcome you to a BNI Gateway meeting.
Or perhaps you already 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 who would be a great fit for our room. Tag them below or send them this post.

𝗔 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁 𝗕𝗡𝗜 𝗚𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘄𝗮𝘆.

Our Education Coordinator, Lauren Leach, gave us something a little different to think about this week, looking at what might actually be holding us back in business and in life.
Education is a small but important part of every BNI meeting. Each week we spend a few minutes sharing an idea, insight or practical lesson that can help us become better networkers, referral partners and business owners.
Sometimes, like this morning, it’s simply about challenging ourselves to look at something from a different perspective.

Our Ambassador Ken McKay also took us back to the BNI system and, more importantly, the results that can come from actually using it.
Ken looked at the correlation between 𝟭 𝘁𝗼 𝟭𝘀, referrals, visitors and Thank You for Closed Business.
They’re not just numbers we report each week. They’re connected.

A really good 1 to 1 gives two members the chance to properly understand each other’s businesses. Who are you looking to meet? What does a great referral look like? Where could our businesses support each other? Who might I know that you should know?
Those conversations can lead to better referrals, introductions to visitors who could benefit from meeting the chapter, and ultimately more business being generated between members.

That’s when those 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 numbers start to mean something. They represent real work and real business that has come from the relationships being built around the room.

And we had a new face in the room this morning too. 👋
Jadon, an e-commerce growth expert who has recently made the move from Melbourne, joined us as a visitor. He helps businesses streamline their e-commerce systems, and it was great to welcome him along to experience a Gateway morning and meet some of our members.

We’re keen to keep growing the range of businesses and expertise represented within Gateway, because we want to know more great people we can confidently recommend.

𝗗𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲?
We want the answer to be 𝗬𝗘𝗦 more often.

Another great Thursday morning of learning, conversations, connections and a good reminder that when we put the effort into really knowing and supporting each other, business can follow.

What if 50 people knew what you were looking for? 50 people who actually knew how to recommend your business to the right customers.

Most business owners have a handful of people who regularly recommend them. Imagine having an entire room. People who don't just know your business name, but understand what you actually do. They know the problem that makes someone a great client for you. They know what to listen for. They know how to introduce you. And they're having conversations every week with customers, suppliers, friends, family and other business owners that you would never otherwise be part of.

That's what we're working towards at BNI Gateway.

𝗔 𝗯𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲.

Not strangers swapping business cards.

Business owners who have put in the time to know, like and trust one another well enough to open doors.

We're growing.

And there are still plenty of seats we'd love to fill with brilliant North Brisbane businesses. Send us a message or email Corrina on [email protected] for your invitation.

💆 𝗪𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘀𝘁.
Because when someone says their shoulders are tight, their back is aching or their body simply needs some attention, they often ask:
“𝗗𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗮 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘀𝘁?”

BNI Gateway would love to meet a massage therapist who provides professional, reliable care and wants to become the person our members feel confident recommending. It’s an opportunity to build relationships with local business owners, fitness professionals, tradespeople and other trusted service providers who regularly meet people who could benefit from your services.

Referral marketing isn’t about walking into a room and selling to everyone in it. It’s about helping people understand who you help, what you do well and when they should introduce someone to you.

If you’re a massage therapist looking to grow through genuine local connections, we’d love to welcome you to a BNI Gateway meeting.

Having an IT problem?

𝗜 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲.

Buying property? Need finance? Looking for a tradie? Need help with your business?

Chances are, someone at BNI Gateway knows someone.

And not just a name they found on Google five minutes ago.

Someone they’ve spent time getting to know. Someone whose business they understand. Someone they’re prepared to put their own reputation behind.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗮 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

Of course, there are still plenty of times when we get asked for someone and we 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 have the right person in our network yet.

That’s why we want it to keep growing.

If you’re good at what you do and you’re the kind of person people are happy to recommend, perhaps 𝘆𝗼𝘂 should be one of the people we know.
