Over the past two weeks, I've been sharing the key activities I've seen in 15 years as a BNI director, that create the most consistent and high quality referrals. There are 3 key activities. The first one is to have strategic, focused BBIs. The second is to let all your contacts know that you're in BNI.

Here's the third.

1. Think about your referral partners for 7 days

Networking Nugget is a regular series of networking tips written by BNI franchise owner, Christel Wintels.

Over the next three weeks, I’ll share the activities I’ve seen in 15 years as a BNI director, that create the most consistent and high quality referrals. There are 3 key activities.
This week we’ll go over the first one.
 
1.      BBIs
We spent a lot of time championing the value of Business Building Interviews (BBIs) in BNI. That’s because they work. Time and again, I’ve seen the members who invest more time in learning how to refer to their fellow members are the members who achieve the highest success with the BNI marketing system.
 
BBIs are where the referrals are. No matter how long you’ve been in BNI, no matter how many times you’ve had a BBI with a member - participating in BBIs every week keeps the referrals flowing.
 
It’s as simple as that. And as difficult.
 
The difficulty can lie in making time to have strategic, focused BBIs. Sometimes it’s a challenge, but – and I can’t emphasize this strongly enough – BBIs are where the referrals are.
 
Book one – now and always. You and your business with thrive.

An excerpt from
The Strangest Secret
by Earl Nightingale

George Bernard Shaw said, "People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, they make them."

Well, it's pretty apparent, isn't it? And every person who discovered this believed (for a while) that he was the first one to work it out. We become what we think about.
