How should an independent BEN aim to generate/raise revenue?

revenue sources 

Other suggestions:

  • all of the above
  • comission from networking event ROI
  • consultancy and toolkits
  • copy the way Cityzone operates in London
  • either event charges or annual membership not both
  • fees is a really tough one; I am sure BEN will die if fees are charged.
  • introduction commission fees
  • membership fees would kill it for us
  • membership fees would probably kill it; event pay as you go fees work well
  • paid training sessions or online training tools
  • reduce cost of food / drink
  • stakeholdings
  • talk to www.whatsright.co.uk
  • training courses

Next question: If membership remains free or low cost, how much should we charge to attend an evening networking event?
