Referral Rock Stars

Another great week with the Referral Rockstars! ⭐️

We took some time to celebrate our August Leaders and all the connections, referrals, visitors, and 1-2-1s happening within our chapter. 👏 And apparently, recognition is even better when it comes with candy. 😂🍫

This week we also got to hear from Christian Williams with Quality Granite & Interiors! Christian walked us through his career journey and gave us a behind-the-scenes look at how they take a project from design and selections ➡️ renderings ➡️ ordering ➡️ fabrication ➡️ installation.

That’s one of my favorite parts of BNI. We don’t just learn what our members do, we learn enough about their businesses to recognize when someone we know would be the perfect referral.

Another week of learning, connecting, and growing together! 🤝⭐️

Shoutout to Marc Shook, owner of Shook Insurance Agency, for using his presentation time this week to help our Referral Rockstars learn a little more about AI! 🤖💻

Instead of focusing on insurance, Marc shared some of the AI tools he uses in his everyday workflow and showed us how they can help save time, create content, research, organize information, and work more efficiently.

One of the best parts of BNI is that we’re not just here to pass referrals. We’re here to learn from each other, share what we know, and help each other grow. 🙌

Thank you, Marc, for sharing your knowledge with the group and giving us some new tools to explore!
