I was at a training recently given by Phil Berg, a great AD (Area Director) and also a brilliant educator, and there was a general all things BNI Q and A session going on.
Amongst other things that came up was how Phil found visitors. Being a Gold Badge holder (you receive a gold badge once you have invited six members into your chapter), this is something that Phil is particularly good at, and the following idea of his is just so simple and has led to visitors for him.
We have all had the phone call when someone is trying to sell us something. Phil doesn’t waste time trying to get rid of them, or eventually just hanging up on them, he just states instead that he only buys from BNI members and then asks if they are a BNI member.
What a great idea! And if they ask what BNI is, he says, 'Why not come along and find out?'
Why not give it a try? You never know, it may help you on your way to a Gold Badge!
