Hi Trevor,
A great INNER CIRCLE meeting last evening at the Premier location - The PALAZZO - who’s staff once again were fantastic. The session and interface with VODACOM executives was very beneficial and I really feel it will develop into meaningful positive business projects. Very well done indeed.
Regards,
John Reilly.

Hi Trevor,
Thanks again for the splendid opportunity last night. The corporate door is firmly shut for the SME owner, but last night you gave a glimpse of a chance to connect with the fine individuals of one of SA biggest corporates.
True to your nature, you will invite people to help themselves, and I hope everyone used the opportunity last night to make some serious business contacts. Not just from the VODACOM people but from everyone attending.
My gratitude again to Mark Sawkins and the PALAZZO staff.
Regards,

Trevor,
This was my third INNER Circle meeting and I can quite comfortably say that there is no other event or meeting place that I know of which will give you better value for your cause, all for a mere R100. Another INNER Circle meeting is never enough! I was honored to meet with everyone there and thank you to INNER Circle and Vodacom for making the get together interesting, knowledgeable and very worth while! To all the Vodacom execs, thank you very much for the opportunity to meet, and I look forward to reaching the health and hangover taste buds of as many of the Yebo Gogo followers as possible! To all the Inner Circle and Vodacom people, please feel free to drop me an email anytime if you need to experience that weird jungle juice taste, or just to Bluxem that Babalas!

Hi Trevor,
Thank you for the invite to attend the Vodacom INNER Circle networking meeting - as usual the venue and attendees were a definite cut above the rest. The introduction of Vodacom into the INNER Circle networking realm is extremely innovative and has huge - and far reaching - potential. From a personal perspective I always see tremendous value in constantly widening and strengthening my own personal business network and with the introduction of Vodacom subscribers to the "pot of networkers" the sky is the limit!
The larger the network group - the larger the intellectual base - and ultimately the greater the possibility of closing more deals.
Once again, many thanks Trevor and see you next week.
Michele

Hi Trevor
Thank you for the opportunity to attend your Vodacom INNER Circle Business Network meeting. It was my first time that I attended, I have attended similar opportunities.
It was a very productive evening, during which I connected with at least 8 potential leads. It was an important exersize for me to present, talk and sell my business to other business people. It forced me to think about the vision for my business and
realize the importance of entrepreneurship. There was also an opportunity to learn from other people how to drive your business and make a success of it. As business people we welcome the opportunity to network.
Thank you,
Ben Bredenkamp

Hi Trevor
What an inspired event last night. I would like to express my gratitude for the fabulous platform the Vodacom INNER Circle meeting presented us with to meet like-minded SME's. The Cherry on Top was definitely the attendance of a fine team of Vodacom's key decision makers.
The buffet hosted by Vodacom was a sheer delight and a sign of their committment and interest in opening doors to passionate SME owners who like to make a difference. I found Vodacom's Executives added tremendous value by allowing us insight on what exactly they are interested in. It was enlightening to get an inside perspective on what they are faced with when having to decide what kind of projects they should support. Their feedback to shape our ideas to projects that will have a chance of being looked at is invaluable.
The evening was networking of the finest, my head is still spinning at the opportunities this opened up. Never thought I'd get the best insights on my way out just before midnight. Just shows you, every minute spent was worth it!
Sincerely
Carmen M. Schnider-Kemp

Hi Trevor
Tuesday night's Vodacom INNER Circle meeting at the Palazzo was definitely a fantastic evening. Aside from the awesome canapés, which are different and tastier every time, the group of people in attendance had an air of expectancy and excitement about it.
Having the execs from Vodacom was a great value add, in terms of the level of people that they are, and the different aspects of business and experience that they brought to the meeting. Even though it did not seem at first that they were 'the right people' to be there, they were all forthcoming and open in their interest in the concept of the meeting, and the future potential of where the INNER Circle wants to take this relationship.
Added to that was their willingness to put people in touch with the right people in order to achieve potential business goals. Not many people are willing to do that, and that to me is a mark of a great networker, and a person who shows a genuine interest in others. Even more so, for me I realised that an executive level of person is still a person, who chats to me on a normal human level, but whose presence I value, as I was able to interact with them, learn from them, and begin a relationship with various levels of potential, both on the human level and the business level.
In the few months that I have been an INNER Circle member, I have experienced the exponential growth that happens in people's businesses as a result of this forum. The opportunity to meet people is the most valuable for me, and the INNER Circle has brought this to a new level. For this reason I am very excited about the Vodacom INNER Circle collaboration vision you put forward. The opportunity to meet 200000 people who are cherry-picked has massive potential for my business. But even more importantly, this opportunity to grow the network of the INNER Circle to incredible proportions has got to be one of the best ideas in a long time. This type of pportunity means that the vision of growth in everyone's businesses, the vision of abundance, the vision of giving back to the community can start to take shape and form, and it will mean the beginning of something amazing. In the MDI meetings we have spoken at length about these visions, and I think that this collaboration will have far reaching effects for everyone involved, and will be the start of making a difference in our communities.
I look forward to this with much anticipation!
Kind regards
