Bni & The Power Of One

What should a member do if another member is asking for a commission/percentage for referred business?  Is this against BNI Policy?

Welcome to the New Year!  We start 2017 with a talk about making it a success!

In this month's episode of Tim and Raef's Reads we discuss the book Loving What Is by Byron Katie

This week we answer another member question:  My business is so new there are no categories for it in BNI or the Chamber.  How do I educate people effectively so they understand how to find me referrals?

We have just witnessed one of the most divided elections in our history.  One that has people feeling very passionate about their side.  This week we discuss what this means for your networking efforts and BNI.

This week we discuss the WHY behind BNI's update to our attendance policy.

This week we answer another show submission from a member who asks: When does a contact sphere turn into a "click"?  What are the effects on the rest of the chapter and how does it effect the contact sphere?  If a member is in a very successful contact sphere do they loose sight of the importance of also referring to the other members not in their sphere?  Most importantly, how much money are they leaving on the table by not paying attention to the members outside their sphere?

In this month's episode we talk about an amazing book referred to us by Justin Hall, The Greatest Salesman in the World by OG Mandino

What was your original intent when joining BNI?  What is the focus, or intent, of your chapter?  What is BNI's intent?  Do all of these align?  We discuss this important topic in this week's podcast

A Show Submission!  This one from Michael Georges in Colorado! "It would be great to have you talk a bi about Educational Moments and using the podcasts as jumping off points to lead your team to greater success with their BNI Memberships!"

This week we discuss a process happening in many chapter and many regions right now: Leadership Team Selections!  We will discuss the WHY behind the process, the misconceptions in the process, and why BNI is so involved in selecting each chapter's team.

This week we answer a show submission!  The question is: I am a landscaper, I don't have the funds to build a new crew mid season to handle more referrals.  In order to provide the best service I can't take on more clients this year, even with hiring more people (which I have) I just can't take more business.  Great problem but besides passing referrals, one-to-ones, and meetings how can I still benefit this year from BNI?  I want to plan for next year already to handle 2-3 more crews.  What's your advice?
