San diego bni chapters




















One is information sharing, best practices, what are you doing right? The other is what you are talking about today, which I think is really revolutionary for BNI because everything has been about the local chapter and now you have this chance to communicate and possibly pass referrals around the world. You moved from Michigan to San Diego. It was great to be able to start up in a new city and have all of these contacts.

Or they have friends in another city who need help and it would be so easy for them to refer them. Kathryn: That is exactly correct.

We know that when we move to a new region, we want to start with BNI connections. We also have friends and family, by example real estate property that needs servicing. First of all, they have to find a regional website address.

The best way to do that is to go to BNI. Find the regional website. Connect with that. Once on the regional website, you simple click on find a member and look at the drop down list of professions and identify which professions it is that you need service in.

Now, then I want to focus on three different things about what happens next. First of all, when the prospective member starts looking at this list of cleaning services as an example- because they own a home. They have a rental property.

They have a parent who lives in San Diego and they need a variety of services. There are certain things that BNI Connect provides no matter what each individual member does. That is their name, their company name, their chapter name and their industry. If that is all the prospective client sees, then they have to do further research to reach our member because no contact information is on there unless the member has chosen to provide it.

There can be a photo, a company logo and a variety of means of contact- address, multiple phone numbers, a way to send an email. You can post your website. You can post your social networking links. I would like to close with a few stories because we are beginning to see the success stories roll in.

I will start with myself. I found 4 florists in that community, only one of whom had posted contact information. Guess who got my business. I just got a call from someone the other day who lives in a nearby county in California.

Their mom lives in San Diego. They had found a house cleaning service via BNI Connect. They just wanted to follow up and make certain what the reputation was. But they had made the connection by going into our website and looking for cleaning services. My business is lighting fixtures. Ivan: I have. It was a SendOutCards representative. They were completely shocked that they got this business.

They were going into it with the idea that BNI Connect would be a knowledge network to share ideas and resources. Then, boom! So it is absolutely going to happen. You are right. This is a process. This is going to take 6 months to a year to get members fully on board, to get the software- we are doing this completely inhouse.

We are not bringing in a venture capitalist to do this. Kathryn: Yes. I would like to remind us all that people are looking for member services, whether it is from within our region or outside our region. Ivan: Yeah. Very true. Very true indeed. Listen Kathryn, thank you very much for being on the podcast today. You are a great Executive Director. You have a wonderful message. Members, get on BNI Connect and play around a little bit. Be patient. Be tolerant, but get engaged because this will continue to improve.

We are investing a lot of time and energy in this. Kathryn Lobel, thank you so much for being on our podcast. Back to you, Priscilla. Priscilla: Thank you, Ivan. For many new business owners, going out into the marketplace solo can be a lonely journey. I found the comfort of catching up with my business referral group each week to be invaluable for both my sanity and my business.
