Marcus Emery’s Referral Success at KL08

Please read Episode #60 (above) for details on this video recording.

Marcus Emery of Emery Worldwide in the UK shares his referral success at the BNI Worldwide Members Event in May 2008.

Episode 53: “Global Networking”

Synopsis

In this episode, Dr. Misner calls in from Toronto to talk about Global Networking with Niri S. Patel from Yorkshire and Robert French from Korea.

So why would people want to network internationally?

  1. To be really successful, you have to find a trend and work your way into it. The trend now is toward social networking and high-touch
  2. The center of gravity of the global economy is shifting eastwards to China and India. Graduates of Oxford and Cambridge are being recruited to work at Indian multinationals.
  3. The credit crunch opens the way to profitable East-West collaborations and means that the fast will win over the slow.

How can members develop resourceful international relationships quickly?

  1. Use events worldwide, such as BNI Worldwide’s International Members Event in Kuala Lumpur in May 2008.
  2. Ask your trusted network “Who do you know who…?”
  3. Ask the people you see trading internationally how they do it.
  4. Raise your profile with international contacts via Ecademy, LinkedIn and the BNI Yahoo! Group.

The world is moving fast. We have to move fast. Jump on it. Go to these international events.

Episode 38: “International Networking Week”

Synopsis

International Networking week is a BNI initiative—but other organizations are welcome to participate. Chase’s Calendar of Events has already recognized International Networking Week.

International Networking Week starts the first Monday in February (that’s February 2nd for 2008). This year there will be major events in 10 countries and special activities in thousands of BNI chapters worldwide.

We’d like chapters to invite top community leaders to BNI to show them what BNI is like and expose them to the “Givers Gain” philosophy.

Bring someone different to BNI in February and show them how BNI is changing the way the world does business!

Brought to you by Networking Now.
