The Gravy Train - Get your business on the right track!
GRAVY TRAIN - "In the 1920s, railroad men invented the expression to 'ride the gravy train' to describe a run on which there was good pay and little work, to be prosperous".
Each branch will decide how often they run this event. We suggest once per month. The event focuses on each individual member and their business.
To hold Gravy Train events there needs to be a minimum of 20 members, for Fast Tracks the event is free, Explorers pay £10 and Virtual Members pay £30. Gravy Train starts after 30 minutes devoted to networking and personal consultation.
Gravy Train is about taking the members knowledge and understanding of their business, which is usually stored in their heads, turning it into something tangible and repeatable. By creating a physical representation of your business it allows the member to clearly focus on the business operates. This will then enable them and others to work together to continually improve their business offering and introduce a total quality approach.
