Hi everyone.
I noticed a few posts about BNI, so I wanted to share my experience.
I had a business a few years ago, and I joined a BNI group.
In the first few months I got little return, and was thinking of leaving.
One of the older members took me aside, he said that I just had to wait, once one or two people used my services, the others would here how good I was and it would start to work.
The next week I went in and offered a huge cut price deal, I got three bits of business, which I made a little money on, but the feedback I got was amazing.
From that point on the business started to trickle in, until by the end of the year BNI accounted for 65% of my business.
It works in different ways for different businesses, but it does work.
So much so, that haveing arrived back from living overseas, and being unable to find a BNI group that did not alreadyu have my business, I have just started a new group, meeting in Belfast every wedensday morning.
You are more than welcome tocome along and have breakfast with us to see what its all about,.
I guess its like any other form of marketing, it works if you work it.
