BNI Is A Toolbox

While at the recent BNI International Directors

Conference in California I came across a very
simple but powerful concept; that BNI is a
toolbox.

Think about it for a moment; a toolbox can sit on

your shelf full of tools you never use or you can
learn to use each tool so that it's inherent potential
can be realised.

The toolbox concept is so powerful because most of us never use the tools we have at our
disposal.
There is always some excuse.

You've probably heard the expression"A bad tradesman always blames his tools."

Think about the tools we have at our disposal;

The BNI meeting itself

Open Networking

Sales Manager Minutes (60 second infomercials)

Your BNI Card wallet

Dance Cards

Power Teams

Referral Partnerships

Mentoring

The Visitor Experience

Membership Committee

Promotional items such as card display boards

And of course all the accountability measures built into the system.

So the next time you go to a BNI meeting think about all the tools you have at your disposal and
ask yourself "Am I using each of these to it's full potential?"
