Thank you to the member that 4 1/2 years ago invited a visitor, whom subsequently asked me to become an investor and help develop their business. After substantial growth my share of the business has now been sold at a very attractive price. Remember, this is in addition to ongoing referrals which I receive for my main BNI role as the owner of B2B Signs. I also have a joint venture with another BNI member called B2B Print. I wish all the BNI community continued success!

New members quickly get introduced to the chapter, members in different contact spheres see connections and schedule follow-up 1-2-1s, and the energy from the chapter is incredible. I'm happy to see some of our chapters ideas are getting international attention. My chapter in New Orleans has been doing Speed Networking since 2003 and it is great!

Just a thought.. I certainly don't know much about marketing.. (learning a lot from BNI and helping others.. ) but I thought maybe during this particular podcast, it might have been inappropriate for frank to use the initials "F.U." when Dr. Misner was talking about "following up". It was a definite turn off for me. I am sure the intention was as a light-hearted funny, but some listeners might have found that offensive. However, The information was great throughout the Podcast, and I truly appreciate listening every week! I am looking forward to years of learning more about "The Art of Networking" through not only these podcasts, but through truly trying to help others in my BNI chapter. (and it's amazing what trying to help others even OUTSIDE of your BNI chapter can do! I have strengthened my relationships with my current clients significantly because of the Givers Gain philosophy. Keep up the great work! Sincerely, Christopher Signore, Agent Hello. Just a thought.. I certainly don’t know much about marketing..
