I call my notes from the BNI meetings the Kool-Aid Kronicles. BNI is an acquired taste. It’s very regimented and orderly. It’s also 7am every week. If you are going to do this 45+ times a year, you have to be very devoted to networking or crazy. So yes, I am sippin’ that Kool-Aid.
For the last eleven years, I have been a member of BNI. This networking tool and word of mouth marketing has kept my company afloat. Many of the professionals in my chapter have dispensed weekly nuggets of wisdom for years on how to be a better entrepreneur. Right now it looks a little rough out there, so it’s good to hear about everyday people who are keeping their heads and making things happen. Here are a few things I heard and learned on Wednesday from my colleagues:
The residential real estate broker was involved in three cash deals this week.
The residential mortgage broker has 9 applications in the pipeline this week – and they will close.
The real estate attorney offered that sometimes you best serve a client by letting them go.
The photographer had a substitute today because she was archiving the notes and memoirs of a Holocaust survivor whose health and mental clarity has taken a turn for the worst.
