So what happened last time? Well, there was so much energy and enthusiasm that the meeting overran, spilling onto the street outside!

What Did We Cover Last Time?
Too much for me to repeat here and far too juicy to share with just anyone ;)

Here are some highlights:

How Your Bank Manager Could Make A Massive Difference To Your Bottom Line
Les recalled how one of his previous business account managers helped him like no other manager has by cleverly using the potential held in his position as a central hub for many other businesses. A great idea if you can get your business account manager to do the same and there's no reason why they wouldn't. After all, if your business improves then so does his!

How To Price Your Offer
Always a popular topic of conversation. This time, we talked through the mechanics of just how we decide how much to charge for what is sometimes an intangible service. Some interesting takes on one of the trickiest part of any business.

First Exhibition
Lucy told us all about her first dot-art exhibition (http://www.businessmix.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=43), housing work from a number of local artists. Great to see a great business idea developing. Well done, Lucy!

How To Compose Your Direct Mail For Maximum Effect
Copywriter, Steve, talked us through some of the concepts of direct mail marketing that help him achieve a better response from campaigns.

To find out more about what goes on you'll just have to attend our next meet-up in August. It's free and it'll help your business no end!

Sticking with the Tuesday theme as it seems to be the most convenient. August has 5 for us to choose from; 2nd/9th/16th/23rd/30th. I think the 2nd is a bit too close to consider so please rank the last four Tuesdays of August in order of preference.

e.g. August 9th/16th/23rd/30th

I'm good for any of the dates.

My first choice would be 23rd August; second choice 30th, and third choice 16th.

Unable to make 9th.

The 23rd August seems to be the favourite so far.

Any more takers? :)

You're a mind reader - I was about to ask what's happening! 23rd is OK with me so far...

I'll be there! Last word from Ralph is that he'll be there (with plenty to tell us from the looks of things) and new forum member, Charlie, has just asked me if we're still on for tomorrow.
