Each week in our BNI lunchtime meeting, I am expected to get up and tell other members and visitors a little bit about my work in a sixty second snapshot.
If you want to find out a bit more about our weekly meetings, skip to the bottom of this page.
Here's what I had to say this week:
"My name is Jon Ewing and I am from inframes.com ltd, a website design and development company from Reading established more than ten years ago.
"You should refer business to me because I offer a reliable, friendly and personal service at the competitive rate of just £35 per hour.
"This week we've been moving one of our longstanding client's websites to a new server. This can be quite a headache which is why a lot of companies never bother to review their website hosting. But by using our best practice checklist we ensure the minimum possible downtime during the transfer process, which in this case was nil. And our client is now able to take advantage of much more advanced server technology for less than the price he's been paying for eight years.
"So this week I'd like you to refer someone to me who hasn't reviewed their website hosting for five years or more. We can offer a state-of-the-art email and web hosting package, based in one of our partner server farms in London or the US or even both, for between £30 and £50 per month.
"To find out how good your website could be, look into inframes."
What's BNI?
I am one of half-a-dozen people who have started a new chapter of the BNI business networking group and we're looking for other Reading-based small business professionals to refer business to.
We meet between 12.15pm and 1.45pm on Wednesdays. If you'd like to come along to a lunch, please drop me a line or give me a call and I'll put you in touch with our organiser.
There's absolutely no commitment required – you just pay a tenner, which covers the cost of lunch at the Strada on the Oracle Riverside - and you'll have a chance to meet existing members and other visitors, introduce your business and of course hand out business cards.
