Another cracking meeting was had by all this week, especially our resident mortgage broker Nigel Hakkak. This week he was very specific in what he was looking for and asked for friends we know who are getting divorced. A lovely theme for Valentines Day, don’t you think? The amazing thing is, that he picked up 5 of the 39 referrals passed this week in our BRX Bond Street meeting. Well done sir.
And I suppose a key way to be specific is to go through the exercise I told you all on Friday. Do you remember what it was? Just four simple steps to improve your 60 second presentation.
Step 1. Suppose you have been asked by someone to go out and rent a movie. What would it be?
Step 2. Now suppose you were meant to bring back a movie for a loved one, would it still be the same movie?
Step 3. Now suppose that the loved one in question was not your spouse, as I am sure you were thinking it was, but it was for your nephew. Would it still be the same movie?
Step 4. Now suppose I said that your nephew has a love for a superhero. And that that the superhero wears a red and blue costume with a big “S” on his chest. Which movie would you rent now?
I do hope you all picked the same character as me and that it is Superman. That is the way to be specific. So please spend 20 minutes each week, maybe on the afternoon before the meeting, and think about what you are looking for. Write it down and be specific. You could end up as next weeks top receiver when it comes to the referral round.
As always it was nice to see visitors in the room this morning. I do believe there were 5 around the table. Which brings me on to the league table for visitors. Thanks Mike for keeping a tally. Here is an extract from his email sent out after the meeting.

As you are all aware we are part way through our drive to recruit new members to Bond Street. Consequently I thought it a good idea to update you all on the competition standings so far:
Lewis – 3 guests
Richard – 2 guests
Mike – 2 guest
Hiten – 1 guest
Mab – 1 guest
George – 1 guest
Louise – 1 guest
I could also add to the list those members who are yet to invite a guest but that would be harsh wouldn’t it!!!!! YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!! We need you help and support to build the numbers.
I know a number of you have more guests invited over the coming weeks. It would be great to see everyone with at least one invite to their name.
Your efforts are much appreciated and remember we will all benefit as the membership increases. More people round the table, more referral will be generated.
Regards and keep inviting.

Well, thanks Mike for the update. If any members do have guests coming, please inform our beautiful guest coordinator Louise and she will add them to the list. If you are one of the many people who read this blog every week and don’t know anyone personally in the group and would like to attend, please email any of us and we will be more than willing to help.
On a personal note, thank you to a few of you who have already sponsored me for the London Marathon which is in 9 weeks. I am trying to raise money for an excellent cause and do need your help. It’s best to do it now so I don’t hound you in person. Just click here and it will take you to my Just Giving page.
Enjoy your Valentines Day, and if any of you are looking for proposal ideas, then click here and take your pick. If you want to add your own thats not listed, please email me through the website.
See you Friday, Lewis.
