Synopsis
This week’s topic is the Classification Cowboy, illustrated by BNI member Dan Fletcher. View and download the slideshow in the next post.
A Classification Cowboy is someone who tries to take more than one profession within a chapter. If you try to take more than one classification in a chapter, you’re blocking the connections and referrals that can be brought to the chapter.
The best way to handle this is to address the problem before the person joins the chapter, rather than after accepting a person with multiple businesses as a member. A chapter with multiple attorneys with different specialties is much stronger than a chapter with someone who doubles as attorney and paralegal.

Synopsis
In week two of BNI Fundamentals, Dr. Misner addresses “Full Participation in BNI.” (Remember, Education Coordinators can download all this material in advance from BNI.com.)
- Be there every week. Out of sight, out of mind. And if you show up late for BNI, we assume you’ll show up late with clients.
- Participate in the networking time that starts each meeting. Don’t sit down until the president calls the meeting to order. Pay special attention to visit.
- Participate 100% in the meeting. Treat whoever is speaking as if they were the biggest client you could possibly land.
- Attend the BNI trainings and embrace a culture of learning.
All four of these practices demonstrate the Givers Gain mentality. The more you put into BNI, the more you’ll get out of it.
