WHY DO YOU NEED THIS SESSION?
The BNI International Board of Advisors agreed four years ago on a policy that requires all Members to attend such training before they are allowed the privilege of being a “Featured Speaker”.   So attending one of these meetings is essential for you to get the maximum benefit from your chapter membership.   The session is devoted to improving your networking skills and to maximising the value of your BNI membership, both to yourself and to your colleagues.  Topics to be covered will include:

• ‘Givers Gain’ – how to secure quality referrals
• Maximising your ’60 seconds’ or ‘Sales Manager Minute’ opportunity
• Making a memorable ‘6 minute presentation’
• The importance of the ‘1 to 1’ or ‘Dance Card’ – meeting outside BNI
• Inviting and looking after visitors
• Helping to make the chapter successful

New Members will receive their BNI manual at this session.

Now is the time to make sure you are the strongest link!

On Friday 11th January each BNI member will be bringing at least one guest along to the meeting. This is not a full-blown visitors day, but an event where we will be able to open up the membership in a more contolled way. The event is designed to provide a broad enough audience to promote each business while retaining enough intimacy to make sure everyone gets a chance to network properly with everyone else.

Please let Sally Ragbourne know if you wish to attend.
