I’ve known Mr Berg for many years; in fact I worked in his team as a BNI Director, when I was part of the director’s team working from Head Office, in Rickmansworth. I had some wonderful years and miss many of the things we did (even losing to Charlie Lawson at Scalextric!). In case you are wondering why I left Head Office, my family and I moved to Surrey.
Anyway, why am I talking about Phil Berg? Well, it’s because if you haven’t met him I really suggest you do your best to do so, because he will help make BNI work for you. Might mean some hard work, the right work, but your likelihood of success will really improve, leading to more referrals and therefore better business.
I know
what you have thought. How am I going to meet Mr Phil Berg? That’s possible, although
he does visit most countries, but what you can certainly do is watch (and
listen) to him on our BNI University. And I guess that is why I writing this,
because I watched him yesterday.
I
watched a One-2-One Skills Workshop, presented by him and Brian Gates, on the 2nd June
this year. It’s about how to have very useful One-2-Ones: when, where and what
to cover and how to help the person you are working with (having the One-2-One
with). But, one of the parts I like best is that he, and Brian, talk about how
things have worked for them. Not to make them look good but to give you an idea
of the sort of things that you can cover and that will certainly help you.
So, I
highly recommend that you go and watch Mr Berg; I promise that you will learn a
great deal.
Just enjoy.
