Networking Success Comes From Consistency.

It’s Top Tip Tuesday!

Great networking rarely comes from one conversation, one meeting or one referral.

It comes from consistently:

🤝 Building relationships
📞 Following up
🎯 Making clear asks
👂 Listening for opportunities
💬 Having 1-2-1s
🌱 Helping other members

Small actions, repeated every week, create big results over time.

Keep showing up. Keep contributing. Keep connecting.

BNI Podcast 177: The Double Triple Effect

Why should every member care about growing the chapter?

Because chapter growth isn’t simply about having more people at the meeting. Every great new member potentially brings an entirely new network of contacts, relationships and opportunities into the room.

A bigger quality network gives everyone more opportunities to connect and refer. BNI continues to use the Double Triple Effect when discussing the relationship between chapter size and referral opportunity.

🎯 This week’s challenge: Who is missing from the Vanguard table that would make our network stronger?

Keep Your Network Educated

It’s Top Tip Tuesday!

Your fellow members might know what your job title is — but do they really understand the problems you solve?

Use your weekly presentations and 1-2-1s to educate the chapter about:

✅ Your ideal customer
✅ Common problems you solve
✅ Buying signals to listen for
✅ Great referral examples
✅ The introductions you’d love to receive

The better your network understands your business, the easier it is for them to refer you.

What would £61,419.75 in additional business mean for you over the next year?

£61,419.75 is the average seat value in closed business recorded by BNI Vanguard Horsham members. While individual results vary, it shows what building trusted relationships and sharing referrals can achieve.

BNI Podcast 443: Time Spent Networking

Joining BNI gives you the opportunity to build a powerful network — but the weekly meeting alone isn’t the whole job.

1-2-1s, following up referrals, inviting visitors, making introductions and staying in touch with your contacts are all part of building a network that produces results.

Networking is an activity, not an event.

🎯 This week’s challenge: Put some dedicated networking time into your diary rather than hoping you’ll find the time.

🎧 Listen here: BNI Podcast 443
https://www.bnipodcast.com/2016/02/10/episode-443-time-spent-networking

How much time should you spend networking? Ideally, about 8 hours a week. Successful people are never too busy to network: they hire staff to take care of other jobs so they can continue to bring in business.

Get to Know the Person, Not Just the Business

It’s Top Tip Tuesday!

People refer people they know and trust.

Take time to learn more about your fellow members, their experience, goals, interests, challenges and the story behind their business.

The stronger the relationship, the easier it becomes to confidently recommend someone to your own contacts.

Relationships first. Referrals follow.

Today is National Mentoring Day!

One of the great things about being part of a strong business network is having people around you who are willing to share their knowledge and experience.

Sometimes a conversation with someone who has already faced the challenge you're dealing with can save weeks of trial and error.

Networking isn't just about referrals. It's also about helping the people around you succeed.

TODAY'S NETWORKING CHALLENGE

Give someone in your network 30 minutes of your time.

Share some experience, answer a question or simply be a sounding board.

You never know what impact that conversation could have.

BNI Podcast 637: The Networking Mentor

Every experienced BNI member has knowledge that could help someone else succeed faster.

Mentoring isn’t just about helping new members understand BNI. It’s about sharing experience, helping others improve their networking skills and creating a culture where members actively support one another.

And often, mentoring somebody else reminds us of the fundamentals we should be practising ourselves.

🎯 This week’s challenge: Share one piece of networking advice with another member.
