Sharon Mabrey, Domestic Assistant celebrates an anniversary of her birthday today! Happy Birthday Sharon! Your humor, bright personality and gift for knowing who needs our help, is cherished among the membership. Enjoy it!! See you next Thursday!
We’re trading four times the business each month than an average BNI group. The VP reported today that we gave (and received) 240 referrals in the last four weeks, when a typical group will give out 60 per month. Is it good members? Good training? It’s certainly good business.
Really, it’s all of the above. We take the time to get to know one another through dance cards, we work hard on our 60-second presentations to train our sales force, and we ask our own colleagues and clients how we can help them solve their problems. Funny how the solutions are often right there in our BNI group.
Join us for breakfast next Thursday. It’s not about the food. 
BNI San Diego trains the world’s best networkers! That’s the tag line from Director Doug Means. Is it true? I believe it is, but you will have to go and see for yourself. Yesterday (Saturday 9/6/8) I was able to attend two of the four advanced training modules. Each module had exciting information that was new to me, and each reminded me of things BNI that perhaps I was getting sloppy with.
We were shown a new format for our 60-second commercial and reminded that the purpose is to “start a fire” or “wake up” our sales team. The one on one, or dance card module shows a very structured way of doing a dance card. It’s the same information we received in MSP2.0, but greatly expanded. The purpose of the first dance card might be just to get to know you, but the second one should be to help each other up the referral tree. For me the training was great, I’ll be repeating the modules. Hope to see you there!
