The resulting feedback, not to mention interest this generated among the members was quite fantastic. So much so many of our chapters want to see this done again. How about this for visual. A travel agent lady in our Norwich UK chapter stood up to do her 60 seconds, complete with flippers and a snorkel. You may see that quite a lot in New Zealand (?) but Norwich England........................

Bringing along a tool of your trade is also a great way to liven up your 60 seconds. Seeing a tool of trade can trigger ideas about referrals you might not get from the usual verbatim. I always enjoy these meetings best. Try it! Totally agree Mike. Bringing along a tool of your trade is also a great way to liven up your 60 seconds.

Nice post Mike. This morning at our developing chapter Profit Portal BNI (Waiuku) the president used a broken coat hanger. She introduced herself as Captain Hook and had the hanger part sticking out from her sleeve like a hook. Why do I remember her? She had a prop! It got a laugh made the message memorable and I am sure she will get referals by hook or by crook! Regards Paul BNI Assistant Director South/East Auckland Wouldn’t it be! Nice post Mike.
