The number 1 worldwide franchise
owner of BNI, Hazel Walker, discusses better ways to invite guests, the GAIN
profile to make 1 on 1’s productive, teaching others to be a referral machine,
and author of differences of how men and women network.
BNI franchise only winner of the Hall Of
Fame owner because she had the #1 franchise in the world for 13 straight months
in Indiana. She was recruited to run Perth Australia and was there for 6 years
before moving back to the USA just before thanksgiving.
Learn about
the Givers Gain philosophy. And Now BNI
has online training and an app to pass referrals.
Why do we
always try to sell new invites to BNI instead of just inviting them to meet
amazing other business owners. BNI and
the flow of the meeting will sell itself.
One key
mindset is that BNI is built for you to expand your referral network, not just
sell to the members.
She goes
into a Super Structured Flow of a 1 on 1
meeting. The G.A.I.N. sheet. (the
Accomplishments and Interests are particularly interesting.)
Those
meetings are meant for you to just shoot the breeze. Make the most out of that
time by following her recommendations.
Teach the other person to identify your target customer is and then how
to refer them to you.
Who do you
know Who…?
Why is that
some of the non USA chapters have more eye doctors, dentists and alternative
care doctors and therapists where as in USA those are harder to find
(chiropractors are usually in the USA groups though)?
If you have
multiple doctors in your office, what are the benefits of having each member in
a different BNI Chapter?
Why should
you screen new members especially if one clinic in town is joining lots of
groups?
Why are the
Asian Countries like China, Thailand, Hong Kong, India and Singapore eclipsing
in growth and enthusiasm for BNI compared to Europe and North America?
Differences
of men and women in networking. What are some of the traits that men have that
women should adopt and vice versa?
Story
telling fashion of referring business and going deep into the relationship are
commonly women characteristic.
Which sex
gives more qualified referrals? Which sex asks for the deal more commonly?
How can the
GAIN Profile for 1 on 1’s done correctly also be translated into how you talk
and market and interact with customers?
Is it
appropriate to hit on the opposite sex at networking events? What are some ways
for women to stand their ground if it happens to them?
Small town
BNI chapters… they can work, but why be careful of kicking someone out nad
keeping everyone accountable?
What has she
learned about work life balance from living in Perth? She takes the last two
weeks of the year as her “Thinking” time for the following year.
