Auckland CBD Made to Measure!
Auckland CBD's chapter President, Ronald Biddick and his team have set some new and exciting benchmarks which will enable them to establish a dollar value for their chapter's referrals. The Auckland CBD chapter has also planned to increase membership to 35 members in six months plus a goal of 35 quality referrals each week.
All members agreed on a list of impressive goals which should ensure lots of business being generated for all members of that chapter. Any members experiencing difficulties in reaching targets will receive help from a member of the leadership team. Email Ronald on rjbdesign@xtra.co.nz if you would like a copy of Auckland CBD's goals.
A man of action, Ronald runs a successful menswear business in Auckland's trendy High Street where he has already set a goal of $200,000 in BNI referrals for the year. His wife, Natasha, is his business partner. Together, they intend to expand their business into the Wellington and Melbourne markets.
Ronald's classic and contemporary menswear business sports top labels such as Strellson, Rembrant Elite, Cesar, and of course, RJB Design. Just before the Kiwi Networker spoke to Ronald, he had just rung up a $3,500 sale from a relation of a former BNI member! Another successful referral!
A consummate networker, Ronald understands the principles of word of mouth marketing and is taking the time to share his knowledge and motivation with members of his Auckland chapter.
