Member Extravaganza Visitor Letter

[Mitch Hamburger]

This letter can help you make more money! It is time to start thinking about this event. As you go to other networking events, begin to tell people about the event, and let them know you will follow up with an invitation. We each need to send out 40 invitations to get the kind of numbers we need to have a successful event. The more people who attend = the more potential professional connections we will make = more money.

Adapt the letter as needed. I tried to add a little personal touch to each instead of just a form letter.

Andy,

As a long-time friend of and former employee I thought I would extend this invitation to you as I believe it could allow you to seek connections with potential clients, specifically in the in-town area.

I am sending this out to you because you, like myself, may rely in large part on networking for generating new client referrals. I am an active member in BNI (Business Networking International), the largest business networking organization in the world and offers members the opportunity to share ideas, contacts and most importantly, business referrals. It has been a huge source of referrals for me and my business since I joined. We are seeking other professionals in non-competing classifications to introduce to other business professionals who can help grow your business.

The reason for this e-mail is that we are having our annual Visitors' Day on Wednesday April 16, 2014 at 11:00am at Stationside in Terminal West of the King Plow Arts Center. The exact address is 887 West Marietta Street NW, Studio D, Atlanta, GA 30318.

Several professional classifications are still open in our Chapter, but if your particular slot is already filled in our Chapter, coming to our event will give you an idea if BNI may be for you. If so and you have an interest, I can help you find other chapters you may want to visit. I would also like to introduce you as my friend and guest to all current members and other guests, and your lunch is on me. Just be sure and bring plenty of business cards as we are expecting over 70 business professionals in attendance.

If you would like to attend, please let me know ASAP as we have to reserve space and food, and our Visitors Day usually reaches capacity one week prior to the event. If you are not interested that is of course fine too, but I did want you to know of this opportunity, and that I was thinking of you. Feel free to call 770-394-2465 if you have any questions.
