Hi, I would like to invite you to our open day (well morning!)
Leeds business Networking is unique in many ways that you could only assess from visiting us, which is why we are having an open day (well morning!) which would only cost you £10 including a full breakfast.
Our membership prices are only £195 per year for full membership with no joining costs, our competitive prices are because I already run a successful business and I wanted to create a quality cost effective networking group within myCatalyst™ that helps business’s and prospective businesses to become involved in networking in a comfortable environment.
Within our meetings we have networking introduction & training, role plays and business advice.
Our meetings start 7.00am onward with freeform networking, with a full breakfast being served around 7.30 which is our “official” start time. Then it's around a table for the formal part which includes handing out cards and a few minutes opportunity for you to explain who you are, what you do, your Unique Attribute or USP, and your target audience, in which ever way you feel happy with.
We have a full agenda until 9.00 when we officially stop, however networking continues as needed after that time. We are also planning separate one off daytime events with a variety of themes as well as panel advice events.
The venue is at Hillside myCatalyst™ (the site of the old primary school) Beeston Road Leeds LS11 8ND. Look up our established sister group at www.LeedsBusinessForum.co.uk
We meet every other week and our next meetings are on the 31st of July and then the 14th & 28th of August.
Please let me know if you'd able to come or not by emailing me on [email protected] or ringing me on 07818021272, so we can tailor our catering requirements.
It would be great to see you, and hope you will soon be in a position to join us soon.

Good Design - a Luxury or a Necessity?
OK, so there’s a bit of a down-turn in the economy; the odd banker is a tad worried about his pension; the economists are scratching their heads and maybe the Estate Agents are having to do a bit more work to make a living, but the world of commerce and industry hasn’t stopped.
There is still great competition in the market place and there are always people buying things. We all still need to eat, wear clothes, use electricity, drive cars and hopefully, go on holiday.
- So how do you get noticed over and above your competitors?
- How can you make sure your brand is seen, recognised and understood by your customers, whether they are trade or consumers?

www.printideas.co.uk
Nick Wayne, director of Print Ideas, takes a look at the idea of “Good Design” in terms of branding. This will be a ‘snapshot’ of what is considered “good design” and will give you the opportunity to discuss and debate with him, some of the principles of what he is presenting as “good design”.
This should be a lively, entertaining and informative presentation and audience participation will be encouraged!
Agenda:
2.00pm Reception, coffee and general networking
2.15pm Workshop 'Good Design –a Luxury or a Necessity'
3.00pm Networking - an opportunity to identify new business introductions
4.00pm Close of meeting

Hello!
I would like to invite you to April’s
myCatalyst™ event!
‘How You Can Create Cash Generating Ads in Less Than Thirty
Minutes, That Even The Millionaire Marketing Gurus Will Envy’
Friday 24th April 2.00pm-4.00pm at Rise*
Do you
want to get more business in your target market?
You see the credit crunch is starting to show its ugly Snarl, biting hard into
every high street in the Land…
Before it gets better there’s going to be a lot of casualties, Well that’s if
you BELIEVE the doom and gloom merchants
To a point, it’s true; But they’re forgetting ONE Important FACT
You see people still need to and WANT to buy…Buying and Selling is the lifeline
of all major economies
So what’s changed? Market attitude has; Yes it’s become more nervous, cautious,
cynical and demanding
BUT the Market STILL wants to BUY
So keeping that in mind…How Do You Get
Your Market to Buy From YOU, whether it is on the internet or not
Well…That’s exactly what you will see this afternoon
ALL I ask is that you come with an OPEN mind. For thirty minutes forget
EVERYTHING you Know about Marketing and what your English teacher taught you
You will be armed with everything
that has PROVED to generate sales copy that SELLS
In fact a recent campaign generated 45%
NEW Business in February using these methods:
·
The two ad Factors that gets choosy buyers to Prefer
YOU
·
The Three absolutes of any Sales letter (don’t have
these and you may as well flush your cash down the Loo)
·
Why 99% of ads LOSE 90% of their target market in 3
seconds. You’ll soon know how to
avoid that
One More IMPORTANT point, the event is strictly a ONE-OFF; It WILL NOT be run
again
Look forward to seeing you prosper even more

Camberwell @ Leeds Chambers' Quarterly Networking Lunch
Boss urges leaders to take risks in cold climate |
A Yorkshire entrepreneur who has grown his business to a 22-strong team with a £1million turnover in less than three years will encourage his peers to take more risks at a Leeds Chamber event on March 26. Todd Hannula CEO of Harehills-based Camberwell, which drives regeneration through social enterprise, is speaking at the Chamber’s quarterly networking lunch which runs from12pm-2pm. The session at Shine, Harehills Road, Leeds – the venue is Camberwell’s award-winning £4.5m enterprise centre incorporating conferencing, meeting rooms as well as pay-as-you-go business accommodation. Hannula will draw on his experiences to demonstrate the risks he has taken and the benefits he has gained through eliminating the word ‘can’t’ from his vocabulary. Leaving behind well-paid and prestigious corporate careers to move with his wife and child from the US to Yorkshire, Hannula teamed up with three fellow directors to establish Camberwell which has delivered regeneration and social enterprise projects worth more than £10m.
