JaysonKandiah Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Hey guys! just got approached by my neighbour who's part of a BNI group and invited me for a session tommorow, and wanted to ask what your opinions are about BNI and whether they've helped you?

PeterJames Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Better off joining the Masons I found everyone at BNI groups were after a cheap deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Lol, my accountant told me about them, she went to one, very odd any they were more interested in you selling (by cold calling) BNI to other businesses! Although I'm a big fan of face to face these kind of groups do seem a bit anachronistic in the net age... So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew.brough Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I've met people in BNI who spend their time selling BNI rather than their own business. Madness. www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whistle Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 We went to one for about a year and won a lot of work from it. Just got sick of getting up at 5:30 every Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alterEGO Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 They work, you just have to find a group with 'normal people'. Getting up early every week is a killer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew.brough Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Getting up early every week is a killer though. I'm sure. There is no way on this planet I would be out of bed at that time unless someone was paying me a guaranteed (large) fee. I don't like being woken up before 9 as it is. www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whistle Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Yes that's about right, we had over 100k of work in one way or another from the group we where in. In fact 2 years after leaving we still get the odd referral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whistle Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Bolton was a good one that's why we didn't join wigan and went for Bolton. The very early start then a days work is a killer every week though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
