Excellent post! As a Chapter who is striving to grow this is a great reminder of the steps we should be taking to attract and convert visitors! Thank you.

So true Colin

I witnessed a substitute carry out point 8 last week. This person stated they had never been to BNI before so were expecting the biz professionalism but what came as a surprise was the fun and positive attitude of all members. That person will spread the good word.

Hi Colin,

You have summarised a great BNI topic. Well done!!

Everything you have outlined is simply “doing the basics” but his is the best sumary I have read for some time. My chapters will all be getting a reminder to print out this off and implement this as a weekly event.

Asking the visitors to tell the meeting (at the end) what impressed them most with them verbalising and articulating the benefits themselves is a great important step and visitors will be more inclined to commit.

possibly a suggestion is once this has been completed there should be a call for action and some sort of an incentive for them to take action there and then while they are excited about the benfits of BNI and what it can do for their business.

saves having to chase them up days later when who knows what is on there mind

Colin, Great Blog, this would make an excellent presentation for a chapter (Chapter Development), a director or as the Education Co. Well done, I look forward to seeing more from you.
