Now you hit a switch in me. BNI is GREAT. But here are the things that they don't tell you when you sign up
- If you are committed to BNI it takes more than a meeting a week of your time. You have to do BBI's or business building Interviews with the rest of your chapter. Count on about and extra 1.5 hours a week not including your 1.5 hours at the weekly meeting 2. You can't miss a lot of meetings or in most chapters you will be kicked out. This is not a social club - it's business. 3. You must be prepared to bring a referal almost every week or you will look out of place and it can't be a fluff referral 4. Not all groups work the same or are as successful. Visit several that might accept you as a member. Generally speaking a chapter that has a carpet cleaner will not even allow you to visit them as a chapter can only have one business of each type so as to avoid conflict of interest. - Some groups meet at noon which is a PITA for booking around as it seems to swallow up production time. - Most groups meet at 7AM but you need to be there at least 20minutes before that for quality networking time. This means getting up pretty early on day a week. Now the good stuft. -It makes you money if you bring in business for other people. - I consistantly make between $1200 - $1500 profit per month on referals from my BNI. I LOVE GETTING UP FOR THAT! - Choose a larger group rather than a smaller group as the referal potential is much greater. |

People will be interested in you and what you do and will be looking to see how interested you are in what they do. Membership is not automatic as they check you out to see if you are of good reputation. Carpet Cleaning positions are usually filled quickly because amongst the carpet cleaning community in the know they are valuable.
This brings up a couple of points. If you like the group put in an application right away. There may be more than one carpet cleaner who has become aware of the opening and it will be the one that looks like he could bring the most business the chapter that will be choosen. If you do not feel any sense that the position is going to be filled by another CCer right away then I urge you to go check out a few chapter first to see what each is like and to find the most suitable one. Good luck! |

No Way, BNI is a Great system, I have been in "Chamber of Commerce" "Rotary", Toastmasters, and other business connection medias, BNI is undoubtedly the best form of networking, I have given and recieved many referrals, and had glowing testimonials.
Carpet cleaning is probably the best catagorie within BNI, you build a personal connection with just about every business in the chapter.
BBI`s definately are valuable, you learn more about them and they learn more about you... givers gain... Thanks Piledriver,if I never get another thing out of this board, I got involved with BNI. thats enough..

My buddy who lives in Mississauga was once at the top of one of the best ski hills in British Columbia and he gets a call on his cell from the BNI captain giving him sh*t about missing a meeting then booted him out LOL he told the guy to go f**k himself that he was enjoying his vacation ha-ha.
