We have recently undertaken a survey on our #reciproCITY breakfasts and we have been delighted with the feedback and we’d strongly encourage you to come along and experience them for yourself.
We asked two key questions in the survey most pertinent to measuring whether they support professionals achieve their growth objectives. We are very pleased to provide the results that have thrilled us:
Have you won business either as a result of meeting a new contact, or refreshing an existing contact from attending a breakfast? 42% Replied YES
Have you forged new relationships that you are confident will in time help you achieve your business objectives? 94% Replied YES
We are actively engaging with those who informed us they had won business so we can share the good news. Below are just two of those we have garnered already:
“The specific moment l recall seeing ‘X’ at one of the breakfasts at Prims and subsequently he introduced a new client that we took on in December and l am working on another one with his fellow colleagues now on another deal.”
“After regularly attending #reciproCITY Breakfasts, l have significantly expanded my professional network around the region, which directly resulted in referrals into new clients. Over the lifetime the value of these clients l estimate will be over half a million pounds of revenue. For a new business, these events have been instrumental in our growth.”
New locations
We asked for thoughts on new locations to bring on to the rota. Warwick and Telford/Shrewsbury were the most popular. Included in this mail we will be offering the opportunity to help us gauge the interest in them, as well as reaffirming interest levels for existing locations.
Disciplines
In terms of the disciplines respondents most wanted to meet at the breakfasts. Pretty much every discipline we could think of was named more than once. This very fact makes it clear professionals enjoy the very wide spectrum of disciplines the breakfasts facilitate. The most popular was as to be expected Business Owners, or those who are integral to the decision-making of business owners, MD’s, NED’s & CFO/FDs.
Given our expertise & longevity in accountancy recruitment, we have mandated the whole team to work our relationships to bring more CFO/FD’s, and we have already seen a material increase in those wanting to come in only a few weeks of engagement. We look forward to you all seeing the fruits of our efforts going forward.
This point does allow us to highlight to you that over the last 15 years of engaging with the business community we have built a level of trust sufficient for more than 100 professionals to be suggest us as an accountancy recruiter their client should engage in discussion with. We thank all of those to date who have helped us with our growth objectives, and we look forward to backing up future referrals with our professional behaviour & our success in delivering the right solution.
To confirm we recruit across all levels of the finance function CFO & FD, Qualified & Transactional on a permanent or temporary both either full or part-time/fractional basis.
Employment Right Bill Seminars / Networking
We would like the opportunity to make you aware of a series of breakfasts we will be running in the Autumn on the Employments Rights Bill (ERB). We had our first one last week in Wolverhampton and a leading Black Country Employment Partner gave a fabulous presentation. The breakfasts, with an expert Employment lawyer providing their insight, will give those who attend a great opportunity to build knowledge on this business-critical legislation as well as network with many attendees expected at attend each one.
