Sarah May on BNI: The Good, the Bad, and the Biased
If you've been a self-employed HR Consultant for longer than five minutes, chances are you’ve been invited to join BNI.
Maybe you’ve tried it. Maybe you haven’t.
Either way, you’ve probably heard one of two things…
“It’s a silver bullet for business success – all my clients come from BNI.”
or
“It’s a cliquey cult with fake referrals where you’re forced to build everyone else’s business instead of your own. Avoid it like the plague.”
So which is it?
In this episode, you’ll hear a HR consultant’s take as I'm lucky enough to be joined by Sarah May.
Sarah is the President of a BNI chapter, and joins me to share her personal experience of how BNI really works, what it takes to succeed there, and why she believes it’s been worth it for her.
So if you’ve ever wondered whether BNI is a hidden goldmine or just an expensive breakfast club, this episode will give you a behind-the-scenes look from someone who’s lived it.
You'll discover:
- ☠️ Is BNI a cult?
- 🤑 Can you build a HR consultancy that earns £70K+ purely through BNI?
- 🤷♂️ What are the benefits and drawbacks of joining?
- 👀 What actually happens at a BNI meeting
- 💭 Are the referrals real — or just smoke and mirrors?
… and much more!
