Melodieanne, I hope the ice storm hasn’t knocked your power out, stay warm. I sent you info on BNI Arkansas. Our local chapter is part of that group, we have great executive directors. You and Lisa should both take a second look.

Thanks for sharing your stories, Pam and Kathie. Love the added perspective.

Thanks for the recommendation – we have a brand new BNI chapter in my town and I was invited to attend. It’s pricey, but I’m still going to check it out.

I was a member here in Melbourne, Australia for over 5 years and founded two chapters here. I was also an Associate Director for a period of time and was delighted to have met Ivan Misner when he came to visit here about 3 years ago.

I loved my time with BNI and learnt so much there about the importance of being able to present oneself as a business owner and how to get the message across succinctly without telling your life story and boring people.

I still do business today with the many contacts I made during those days.

I enjoyed going to BNI. It is like having 25-30 sales people working for you, plus I made life-long friends and business associates. It started my Tues. morning in a beautiful and motivating way. I recommend it for all small business owners who have services or products to sell.

Thanks for this recommendation. I was recently invited to join our local group and I wasn’t sure if I had time for another networking event. Now, I think I will make the time!
