I thought I'd share the unique professions we have here with BNI in Dubai: Chord Blood Stem Cell Storage - at first we thought...how is he going to get his message across? He then educated his chapter - it's simple, referrals for him are Pregnant Women! Truck Body Fabrication Works - when you buy a truck or a lorry, it normally comes with the front cabin and a chassis - the body then needs to be taylor made depending on the needs of the user. Good referrals are corporates owning large heavy/commercial vehicle fleets! Plastic Surgeon - ok, this may sound like a common one, but alot of BNI members visiting us from other countries tell us they have not come across chapter which have Plastic Surgeons. I don't think I need to spell out what a good referral is....although this also helps with accident and other deformation cases. Talking about rolling out the RED CARPET - I couldn't agree more! Dubai is on the world map and we have visitors coming from every corner of the world - this includes BNI members either visiting for business and/or pleasure. Most jump at the opportunity to visit our chapters. We have had visitors from Australia, Canada, Germany, India, Malaysia, South Africa, the UK & USA. Just last week we had a contingent of German BNI Members from Munich - they got more then just a red carpet rollout - they got some incredible referrals too - read more about this particular experince in the next issue of SuccessNet.

I thought I’d share the unique professions we have here with BNI in Dubai:

Chord Blood Stem Cell Storage – at first we thought…how is he going to get his message across? He then educated his chapter – it’s simple, referrals for him are Pregnant Women!

Truck Body Fabrication Works – when you buy a truck or a lorry, it normally comes with the front cabin and a chassis – the body then needs to be taylor made depending on the needs of the user. Good referrals are corporates owning large heavy/commercial vehicle fleets!

Plastic Surgeon – ok, this may sound like a common one, but alot of BNI members visiting us from other countries tell us they have not come across chapter which have Plastic Surgeons. I don’t think I need to spell out what a good referral is….although this also helps with accident and other deformation cases.

Talking about rolling out the RED CARPET – I couldn’t agree more! Dubai is on the world map and we have visitors coming from every corner of the world – this includes BNI members either visiting for business and/or pleasure. Most jump at the opportunity to visit our chapters. We have had visitors from Australia, Canada, Germany, India, Malaysia, South Africa, the UK & USA.
