“The room cannot pass referrals to an empty chair.”A simple line from today’s BNI Captain Education Slot by Peeyush Purushotham, but perhaps one of the most important lessons in networking.Business relationships are not built by simply becoming a member of a network.They are built by showing up. Consistently.Every meeting you attend is another opportunity for someone to understand your business, remember what you do, build confidence in you — and eventually refer you.When your chair is empty, your opportunity to stay visible and top-of-mind is empty too.Networking rewards presence.Trust rewards consistency.Business rewards discipline.So next time the alarm rings early, remember:Your chair is not just a seat.It represents your business in the room. 💎Show up. Stay visible. Build trust. Grow together. Arunoday GangulyBNI Bahrain
