Begin by telling the members that….
This morning we are focussing on Dance Cards
Then ask them the following question.…
How many questions do you think would be worth asking at a Dance Card?
Wait for answers and repeat some of the better ones. Then say…..
From my perspective a minimum for the first Dance Card would be 25!
Now ask them…

Wait for answers and repeat some of the better ones. Then tell them that……
One of the best ways to learn, in any situation is to ask questions.

Why do you think that might be?
Wait for responses and repeat some of them.
Summarise by reading out the following…

Being prepared is simply a courtesy to your fellow BNI member.
