This morning's event was the best one I've been to at 4N so far since I joined. 

Great to see so many friendly faces and to meet new contacts.

Had an interesting chat with Barbara Hastings and passed on some useful contacts.

I'm sure Susan Wilde and I will speak again about new ideas.

Martin Byrne really inspired me during our 121 and the LEARN session. With invaluable networking and business advice. 

Too many plus points to mention but I must say joining 4N has been one the best decisions I made recently. I'm honoured to be Marketing Assistant.

Have a wonderful weekend.

We set a new record for Martin Byrne today with 17 at the Learn session. Beat that, North West!

Who says 15 is the limit...

Some were along for a second time and it sounded like it was really useful for the 5 visitors, with a couple deciding to join us.

Welcome Kieron Hill & Jonathan Bowker & hope to see you at Saddleworth in a fortnight.

 

Can I add to Andy's comments and say what a fantastic 4Sight it was from James Sheard on franchising. As you'd expect from an accountant, well researched and a very balanced viewpoint. And, as ever, a compelling Learn session from Martin.

James inspired Susan Wilde of UW to do a similar 4Sight in a fortnight on Multi Level Marketing. Looking forward to it.

Agreed.

I really enjoyed James' 4sight on a subject close to my heart, well done again James.

After a week full of Brilliant 4N meets I am glad to say that this one made it 4 out of 4 great meetings (been my lucky week, speaking of which did I put that Euro Millions ticket....).  I had 3 interesting 1-2-1's and the 4 sight was done really well with a good mix of useful information and humour.  It’s a shame I could not attend the LEARN session as the one I did manage to stay for really helped me focus my ideas setting me up for a productive day. By the way if you see Martin Byrne tell him I accept checks for the plug I gave him and the Learn session in the 40 sec round.

Also Andy I’m glad to see you in a role which I think will benefit you and the Saddleworth Team.

Great meeting guys! Really enjoyed it today, an excellent 4Sight from James on Franchising, James makes the numbers interesting, not an easy task but shows his passion for what he does so well!

17 at the Learn session is indeed a record, Martyn you have well and truly laid down the marker for others to follow.

The whole team at Saddleworth is rocking!......

Luke.....the cheques in the post mate!

Cheers!

After what has been a fairly tough week it was great to end it on a high, and the learn session really helped me focus on areas I need to improve on. I just wish I'd tried this a few months ago!

One of the best meetings since I joined, good to see so many people there and you can see relationships developing and opportunities for many of the members. Lets keep it up and look forward to busy meetings in the future.

See you all soon

Why Go See Neil

I know the dealers – all these years working within the Oldham and North Manchester area has helped me build up a network of contacts for new and used vehicles and other motoring services. My years of experience ensure you get the best possible deal.

Logical Decision - Sales staff are trained to play on your emotions; all those shiny cars and fancy showrooms help them to sell you what you don’t necessarily need. 80% of the profit in a sale now comes from add on’s. Any purchase needs to be a logical one. Is it fit for purpose? Is it within your set budget? Will it do the job? If you answer no to any of the questions then logically the vehicle isn’t right for you. I am not emotionally attached to your purchase I just deal with the facts.

Your time is valuable. Think about it... How much time did you spend on your last car purchase? Hours of research on the internet, sitting in traffic going from one dealership to the next, then sitting with a salesman, the sales manager, the business manager, and they will all suggest various add on’s which seem like a good idea at the time but ultimately cost you money.

Time is money. Research suggests that an average purchase will take over 25 hours. What makes more sense, spending hours of your own time driving, waiting, and battling at the dealership, or simply choosing your ideal vehicle and then calling Go See Neil.

Zero hassle. You deal with no pushy salesman, finance managers, and all from the comfort of your own office. Just tell me exactly what you want and when you want it and I’ll do the rest. So now you know, if you would like your own personal transport manager with over twenty five years of experience who will handle your next purchase personally, then.....Go See Neil

Hello Saddleworth

This was a great meeting. James has a really dry sense of humour and I loved the 4sight because he used that so well. Great learn session too, Martyn.  What a beautiful location on the edge of the moors - really lifted my spirits even before I got into the building!  And then Andy ,James and Russell with whom I shared 121's, were so clearly genuinely interested in my work and where I want to take it.  I really hope that I can reciprocate.  

See you again soon but definitely on 15th April when I'm doing the 4Sight "The Joy of Public Speaking".

The Saddleworth group is thriving because it now has all the right ingredients

Great team members in Rachel, Andy & James who work together as a team with me to promote the group

And a venue in Golden Fleece that is in such a great location and feels just right for Friday networking

Plus the unerring support from Martin Byrne. Cheers mate.

And most importantly a fantastic group of 4Networkers. Thank you everyone for making it such a success

The Saddleworth group really epitomises the 4N networking way of 50% business and 50%social. Friday's meet was no exception. One of our visitors, (his first to Saddleworth, third to 4N), commented that it was, without doubt, the best of the three groups he had attended. Great foresight from James Sheard and Martin Byren's leard session afferward was invaluable.

I'll certainly look forward to our next meeting on Friday 18 March.
