One of the biggest challenges for most businesses is finding new customers. One of the best ways to do that is to hire more sales people, but that's hard, expensive and risky. When you dismiss and employee you always know you are making the right decision, but when you hire someone you hope for the best.
Networking is a relatively easy way to expand your sales force. BNI is the largest networking group in the world and the theory is simple. You try to refer business to other members and they will refer business to you.
When it works well everyone in the chapter becomes a sales person for your business.
Chapters vary in size and effectiveness. It does require a commitment of time and money, but doesn't everything that's worthwhile in business?
Search on line for a BNI chapter near you and visit to see if it's right for you. They'll be delighted to have you.
If you are in the Northeast Florida area you are invited to attend the Money Makers chapter. We meet every Thursday morning at 7:30 (I know it is early) at The Meeting Room in the Ponce de Leon Mall. Bring plenty of business cards to pass around. We have almost 60 members and be prepared to say a little about your business.
Tell them you are my guest.
See you There.
