Thanks for yet another fantastic INNER Circle BOSKRUIN meeting in a such a relaxed and friendly environment. It was great to attend a new venue and to network with new people. Your dedication and commitment to growing INNER Circle is much appreciated.


To Trevor, thanks again for an incredible platform. My business is steadily growing but , more importantly, my thought process has expanded exponentially over the past few months by discussing thoughts and ideas with fellow members of INNER Circle.

Kind regards

Hi Jack

Thanks for your hospitality last night. Great INNER Circle BOSKRUIN meeting and illustrative of what networking is about. Ask not what the network can do for me but ask rather what you can do for the network! Invest in the network first then they will invest in you.

Annatjie APPRECIATES The Help, Support & Guidance

Annatjie Venter writes:
Hi Trevor

Once again, what a great meeting! Everybody at INNER Circle is so supportive and helpful; I can’t find words to describe the appreciation for all the input, support and guidance that I get from the INNER Circle members. In a short time (with the help of my INNER Circle friends) I’ve managed to get in contact with so many positive leads and prospects, it would have taken me years to get where I am now. Just to share something with you,

I’ve attend a function at a Hotel on the 2nd, they hosted this function for there big corporate clients. (I was the only person invited to display my products) and was able to meet with +- 100 secretaries from various companies. Needless to say, I had a wonderful opportunity and a successful day and in the same process won a 2 night stay for 2 people at a 4 star hotels in Cape Town. How is that for networking??? What a pleasure!!!

A wonderful Quote from last night that stands out in my mind: “Tough times don’t last only though people do!!”

Have a wonderful day

More NEAT Testimonials Roll In

Annatjie Venter writes:

Hi Trevor

Thank you for the wonderful opportunity to be part of this meeting. I really enjoyed the vibe and being around such positive energy mean a lot to me as a new business owner. As I've showed you my Chocolate products with the printing of the Palazzo's Logo, I was actionaly looking forward to see Linda (from the Palazzo) there as well. She did however send me an e-mail to say that she would be on a conference for the rest of the week. Anyway thanks for a wonderful meeting and the opportunity to meet such a bunch of wonderful people. I will definitly attend all the meetings at the Palazzo so you can count me in everytime and I am sure we will get even more people joining our group, if they don't, they are losing the opportunity of a life time.

Kind Regards

Testimonial: Tony Vink GETS IT

Tony Vink wrote this on link: INNER Circle meetings - Be there!

Hi all,

I would like to give some feedback to all members of the INNER CIRCLE who have not yet attended a meeting in the flesh so to speak. I was like some members, laying a little low, I thought, I'd join the site and see what gives. Well, to be honest there is only so much you can do by connecting online. You can make friends online, even arrange a few one on one meetings online and , if you're lucky, some business may be had. In fact, I have connected with Graham Mitchel of ActionCoach and have joined him to coach me in my quest to build a great business. I'm glad to report that that is going very well.I digress. The point is, that successful networking will, sooner or later, require some face to face contact.

So I decided that I would take the next step and joint the meeting at Benvenuto Conference Centre on friday the 30th July. In fact, I was so looking forward to it that I miss-read my clock and arrived an hour to early! When the folks all started arriving it quickly became apparent to me that these people don't just meet and sit down and talk business, but that everyone knows very one and are friends. When the meeting got underway, we were all welcomed by Brian Carter, our host for the evening who allowed us to briefly introduce ourselves. I forgot to mention that there were 25 people in the meeting and the room was quite full! Seems there were others like myself who just 'arrived'.

After introductions, Brian afforded everyone a chance to talk about their business and the services they provide. There was some banter between the members who knew each other well which was nice and gave the meeting a pleasant informal atmosphere.There was a short Presentation by Michael about Email marketing which I felt was a bit of a teaser and we are all waiting to learn more. At the end of the meeting Tervor Nel, who is one of the co-founders of INNER CIRCLE, gave everyone an update on the huge project he is involved with and expressed his excitement about the meeting and the possibilities of connections.

What I learned, other than who everyone is and what they do, is that there are many ways to connect. Judging from the multiple Joint Ventures (JV's) that several members had formed there is a lot of scope to do business. It is also recommended that you attend regularly, to give everyone a chance to get to know you, I think it makes sense that having a more personal relationship with each other will make connecting and referring prospects to each other easier. The most important thing I learned is that bringing ideas to the meeting is most valuable. Ideas which you might have floating around and don't know what to do with if brought to the meeting might well be your next big thing, your next big contract. I also feel it is important not to worry that someone at the meeting already does what you do, the important thing to remember is that we need to have an attitude of abundance, there is plenty for everyone, especially those who band together like the INNER CIRCLE.

I will probably be attending the Fairlands meeting every month and then attend some of the other venues on occasion. Perhaps I can ask for comments about attending different meetings at different locations.

I am excited to have this connection and I encourage those of you who have not yet attended a meeting, to make a plan.

See you at the next meeting

More GREAT Testimonials - 'Truly Inspiring'!

Kirsten Miller-Stoyell writes:

Hi Trevor,
Last night’s INNER Circle meeting at the Cattle Baron in Lonehill was truly inspiring. I have managed to make some serious contacts with potential JV’s just through last night’s meeting. I have also hopefully helped some people by offering some of my contacts to them for business. I am definitely looking forward to the next meeting. It really is the only forum that I feel deserves to get any credit. I have been a member of other such networking meetings but this is the only forum that has truly delivered business to my door. Thanks for all the great opportunities.

Regards,
Kirsten

Hi Trevor
Thank you so very much for facilitating our meeting at the Lonehill Cattle Baron yesterday – the venue is a delight and the refreshments provided by Bridget were absolutely mouth watering. Will admit that my “INNER Circlers” were an inspiration. The talent we have is awesome and I am very sure that I will be able to progress my various interests with most of the members. Thanks again for such a wonderful forum for us budding (and not so budding) entrepreneurs to network.

Regards
Pauline

Hi Brian. I truly am very GRATEFUL for all the possible leads from yesterdays POWERFUL meeting. Just to give a bit of a background as to how I came to yesterday’s meeting – I’m going through some tough times in my business and looking for a solution. I was introduced to INNER Circle in 2006 and have attended a couple of meetings and know the POWER of these meeting because you don’t know who’s going to be there.

To cut the long story short, found the closest venue and RSVPed for yesterdays meeting and was looking forward to it. There’s always something new to learn and yesterday was no exception, the 3min presentation by Micheal and Derrick was most informative.

The support and advice from the people there was truly what I needed to raise my hopes and know that my situation will definitely be overcome. Thanks Trevor for highlighting my business and what I have to offer to other members that attended. By this morning there was an email from Caren giving a contact for a possible business with her contact’s customer who be interested in what I do – and this got triggered by Caren after she read the document that I distributed after the meeting and read the words “FILLING MACHINES” – THANKS Caren.

I would definitely bring more people to future meetings. Thanks Guys and Gals for everything and LETs’ KEEP IT going…and KEEP IT UP.

THINGS CAN ONLY GET BETTER.
