Are you hungry for business?
Let’s go back in time. Is this what we would have been like?
We have all met the hunter in BNI – Sells to the room
How is BNI working for you? Great-Good-OK-Fair-could be better-Terrible
Whatever you think it is. The reason will always be the same. It is as good as you want it to be.
If BNI is not working for you - the reason is YOU
BNI is all about farming. Farming relationships – letting people get to know you. Having a One2One
They say that you will always get your best referral after you have been in BNI for 12 months
You need to build your own credibility – Be at the meetings, engage, participate, attend training, play BNI (wear the badge, carry the wallet, use the signs) and have fun with it.
You need to sow a few seeds – Pass referrals, give testimonials and bring visitors
If you do these things you will start to reap a crop of Referral £’s
REMEMBER – You reap what you sow
If there is no fruit on your tree do something about it!
Parable of Fig tree
A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.
Dig it about – Get a bit of air in/action
Dung it – Training/read a book/ask for help etc
Ditch it – Give up - BNI is not for you
