Your Business Development Meeting – On-Demand Networking for Growth
Build connections. Share knowledge. Grow your business.
Your BDM (Your Business Development Meeting) is a refreshing, relationship-led networking format designed for Midlands-based business owners and professionals who want more than just exchanging business cards.
Led by Mark Northall, networking strategist and founder of MarkNorthall.com, Your BDM combines structured networking, focused learning, and meaningful collaboration – all in an enjoyable, pay-as-you-go format.
💬 What Makes Your BDM Different?
We know networking works best when it’s consistent, supportive, and based on relationships – not pressure.
That’s why Your BDM focuses on:
- ✅ Pay-as-you-go attendance – no lock-in, no long-term commitment
- 🤝 Cooperation over competition – we welcome multiple professionals from similar sectors who believe in collaboration, not rivalry
- 💬 Guaranteed 1-2-1s – three quality meetings every session
- 🧠 Learning-led networking – short, value-packed educational sessions
- 🌱 Growth-driven structure – build trust, gain referrals, and develop skills
Every meeting delivers a mix of networking, education, and business development designed to help you build genuine connections and grow with confidence.
📅 Meeting Format
Each session lasts two hours and follows a structured yet relaxed format:
- Introductions and welcome
- 10-minute learning slot – a member shares practical insights or expertise
- 60-second pitches – your chance to tell everyone who you are and what you do
- 20-minute feature presentation – an in-depth showcase of a member’s business
- 3 x 1-2-1s – facilitated mini-meetings to spark real collaborations.
- Wrap-up and next steps – upcoming events, news, and networking reminders
Whether you’re new to networking or a seasoned professional, you’ll leave with new connections, knowledge, and opportunities every time.
