Well, Hello Dolly..er..uh BNI! To honor the late great Dolly Parton this week's 45 second presentations incorporated something related to Dolly. Fun was had by all. Greg reassured the chapter that with his real estate skillset, there would be "No Leans..no leans..no leeeeaaans!" Chet likened an experience at SRP Park to the "Coat of Many Colors" with the patches being event tickets and the incredible staff delivering memorable service being the stitches that hold the coat together. Debbie and Tracy sang about "Billboards in the Streets" vs "Islands in the Stream." 🎶

In other news, Miss Kay declared her challenge to have 20 1 to 1's by the end of September and Slayton reminded us all the importance of having those 1 to 1's with our newest members. Build those relationships!

Our presenters were Kiara and Jonathan. If you have men in your life, from toddlers to seniors, consider introducing them to Jonathan and his lovely barbershop. His skills are meant for the discerning male looking for pampering and detail - he's no Cuts-R-Us. Kiara laid out the need for hydration and proper nutrient balance and who she wants to meet in the community. Whether it's individuals needing to improve their health or businesses, like gyms, that she can partner with, let's make connections.

Don't forget about supporting Mary's Golf For A Child event in October, if you are interested.

Finally, check out Joanna's weekly email containing 1 CEU. This week's topic: "Come to BNI membership with a vision, and hold that vision to overcome any obstacles you encounter...Meaning engaging in all-out effort with respect to attendance and one-to-ones and passing referrals, and bringing visitors...It’s not something (you) just belong to; it’s part of (your) marketing plan."

See you next week!

Why Visiting a BNI Chapter Can Be Worth Your Time

Visiting a BNI chapter is more than just attending a networking event — it’s an opportunity to build real, trust-based relationships that can lead to business growth through referrals.

1. Make unique and valuable connections
BNI meetings are structured so that everyone is there to learn about each other’s businesses and figure out how they can refer each other. Visitors are often the first to meet members, and because the group is invested in helping each other succeed, you’re likely to make at least one meaningful connection, even if it doesn’t result in an immediate sale.

2. Gain quality referrals
Referrals are the core of BNI’s model. Members join to get referrals, and the consistent, relationship-focused environment helps turn acquaintances into trusted contacts. Over time, people who know, like, and trust you are more likely to recommend your services.

3. Learn from a structured, supportive environment
Unlike casual networking events, BNI meetings follow a set agenda that encourages preparation, active listening, and mutual benefit. This structure builds trust and familiarity, which are essential for referrals to happen.

4. Expand your professional network
You’ll meet professionals from various industries, many of whom are the only representative of their specialty in the chapter. This exclusivity means you can connect with experts who can help you or refer you to others in your field.

5. Access resources and skills
BNI offers training and tools to improve presentation, public speaking, and business communication skills, which can enhance your ability to connect and sell.

6. Be open to visiting even if you’re not a member
You don’t need to be invited to attend. Many people discover BNI through a visitor experience, and meetings are often held virtually, so you can join from anywhere.

Bottom line: Visiting a BNI chapter is an investment in your professional relationships. Even if you don’t join immediately, you can gain valuable contacts, learn about referral-based growth, and experience a networking environment built on trust and mutual support - all in about an hour and a half.

Episode 182: The Best 60-Second Presentation I Ever Heard

The best 60-second commercial Dr. Misner ever saw was done by a florist in Chattanooga, Tennessee. He used visual aids: a rose from a grocery store and one of his own roses. He compared the two, demonstrating how far superior his rose was, and concluded by saying, “There’s only 3 cents difference in price. Theirs is more.”
