This morning, 9 (that's almost 30% and the most from any of the local BNI chapters) of the Tonbridge Chapter attend a Training session run by Frank de Raffele Jr on the subject Thriving, Not Surviving in this Recession.

Frank is an internationally acclaimed Speaker, Author and Broadcaster on business marketing and is an Executive Director of BNI.

Frank spoke for 4 hours on how an entrepeneur can make the most of the opportunities available, regardless of any recession, by careful planning and forethought.

Dave Barnett of iC Business Solutions, a web development company in Tunbridge Wells, said "Frank is an amazing speaker and really gets you thinking about your business and how you market it, some real food for thought. The stand out comment for me was when he said anyone without a website is a moron - couldn't agree more!

Mark Keatley-Palmer, owner of graphic design company Sycamore Design and long term BNI member, added "I have enjoyed & learnt from Frank every time I have heard him speak, I can not believe that he was on his feet for 4 hours. Yesterday he delivered in spades – hurry back!"
