Stack Day Member Instructions
Prepare your squadrons to scramble!

Vanessa Foster-Crouch
Here it is the outline of our mission. I have attached a copy of what I said this morning. Just in case that is as clear as mud – were you awake? Or maybe you were away - Here it is again.

1. Make contact with your squadron – you’ve only got 2 weeks to Operation Stack so don’t hang about!
2. Decide between you which trades you are targeting. Agree at least 3 between you and all phone or contact any that advertise locally.
3. We sent letters to lots of names on lists/websites before – make this one more personal – look for ads in newsagent windows, cards in Sainburys, Tescos and Homebase and other stores that let local businesses advertise. If they have put their cards there they are probably looking for new business. Think of anyone you spend money with – follow your money – they should be doing business with us!
4. Ask them if they would be interested in meeting up to 100 local business people all looking to refer work – if you are talking to electrician, locksmith, florist (to name just a few) you know we could all pass business to them – I have already missed several chances for florists.
5. contact all those people who told you they would come to the Visitors’ Day in January (doesn’t that seem ages ago?) and then were put off by the snow –tell them how nice the dawn chorus sounds at this time of year!
6. post all the possibles the BNI invitation cards we left out this morning – you also have some in your training packs.
7. Anyone who has questions should contact me (if I don’t know the answer - I know a man who does!)
8. Also don’t forget my prize to the winning team!

Good hunting all

Happy Easter and see you all next week
