About the Wakefield group
Our business group is based in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, it is part of a global organisation established in 1985 as a mutually beneficial business-sharing community. The organisation has grown to span 49 countries worldwide and in the UK and Ireland alone, 13,000 members refer around 680,000 jobs a year to each other with a total value in excess of £300 million.
Why do customers come to us for services?
When customers select a service through our business group, they have the same assurance of quality and professionalism they would expect from any global brand. The groups can admit only one member from each profession or trade so new applicants are closely scrutinised. Once joined, members partake in continual assessment in accordance with the group’s system and a strict code of ethics is adopted. Protected beneath the group’s umbrella, customers enjoy the benefits of local small business procurement without many of the associated risks.
About the group meetings
The Wakefield business group meets once a week. The meetings are normally over breakfast so as not to disrupt the working day and follow a strict 20 point agenda. Priority is given to the exchange between members of work opportunities known throughout the organisation as referrals. The quantity and value of each member’s referrals are recorded and the more members give, the more they may expect in return. Hence the group’s motto, “Givers Gain!”
“60 Second Slot”
The highpoint of each meeting, known as the “60 Second Slot”, is how members update the group with all relevant information about their business in exactly one minute. Training for this is available to those who feel they may need it!
Attracting new business
Throughout the business day, members of the Wakefield business group carry the details of fellow members with them and use a method called the “Referral Marketing System” to gather referrals as they go about their work. This proven strategy turns the group into an efficient marketing machine which attracts a reliable and steady flow of new business to each member.
Benefits to members
The stability offered to a business by being a part of the group and the ability to learn from members who operate in diverse fields, provides a real sense of sharing and belonging. Each member’s business may grow in a supported environment based on trust. The more a member is respected the more referrals will be forthcoming and the more their business will grow. Often in ways they could not have imagined.
