BusinessB4Work

One of the good things about being in a group like Business B4 Work is supporting each other's businesses and this evening was no exception.
Thank you to member Jono's Tourism for a fantastic, fun, and informative walking tour of Lichfield. Who knew that the last man to be burnt at the stake in England, happened on the market square in Lichfield?

Our local artist, Jackie of Love2Dream, had a successful day at the Hub at St Mary’s on Saturday when she was the subject of ‘Meet the Artist’, showcasing her wonderful line drawings, postcards, tea towels and paintings!
She made several sales, met lots of new contacts…and also bumped in to Georgian Jono who was just on his way to start a walking tour for fellow BB4W member Hannah Montgomery!

Great to see our resident local artist, Jackie Roberts of Love2Dream, doing so well at the fantastic Lichfield Fuse Festival last weekend.
She received lots of sales and enquiries, met some potential new customers and sold lots of her lucky dips for the youngers visitors, across three different age ranges, and with gifts worth from 50p to £5!

Have a look at Jackie's website with full details on what she can provide here:

Fabulous to see Jackie Roberts' items now on display, and for sale, at Pom's Kitchen and Deli - and directly as a result of us using the cafe for our monthly get togethers!
Think we'll have to a photo promotion when we meet there in June...

Another great meeting this morning with our guest Chair, Dave Hardy of Five Computing Limited. Our small group discussions on who is our perfect customer, provided food for thought to help fellow members look out for new business for each other.
If you like to join us at one of our weekly Zoom meetings or at our 4 weekly Breakfast Meet-up at Pom's Kitchen & Deli Lichfield, drop us a message.

Our online meeting this week included an Education Slot from our bookkeeper member Jo Shalloe of Cannock Virtual PA Services sharing 10 top tips for a successful business and a 10 minute spotlight by Susann Akers of Total Recall Business Services Limited providing telemarketing services.

We like to ring the changes at Business B4 Work so this week we skipped our normal 60 second elevator pitches and used the Zoom break out rooms to share ideas on software and apps we'd found useful in our businesses.

Our 10 minute member showcase was from Tom Slater of Design by Penrose our Web designer and digital marketing expert https://designbypenrose.com/

Back on Zoom this week with 10 minutes from our Social Media Superhero, Cheryl Turner from Tao Business Solutions . All about Hashtags and building your audience.

Once a month we meet up for breakfast at Pom's Kitchen & Deli Lichfield . At this morning's meeting, as well as our 60 second pitches we had an interesting discussion on what makes for a good customer experience - often the one thing that sets a small business apart from its competition
