If you would like to grow your business and increase the referrals you receive, why not visit BNI Southside and participate in the Southside Experience.
You will have the opportunity to network one-to-one with 20 plus business people from many areas. During the meeting you will have the opportunity to discuss your business during the 60 second presentations. There will also be other opportunities to discuss your thoughts about your business and BNI.
There is no obligation and no one will try to talk you into something you may not want. The goal of your visit will be to allow you to develop an understanding about BNI Southside and how it can benefit your business. You can visit Southside twice.
Following the meeting a Southside member will discuss the financial and time obligations to be an effective member. You must compare the BNI financial requirements to other club's membership fees and the cost of ads to the benefits you received. A low cost radio ad will cost at least $200 a month and there is no way to track of the results. With BNI your receive referrals from members and you will be able to track the results. No guessing on the effectiveness. You will know through the Southside and BNI Experience.
Contact any member of Southside to find out more about BNI Southside and register for your visit. A list of the members is included on this web page and in the gallery.
Bottom line, we believe you will find this a rewarding experience and it can make a difference in your future. You will never know until you visit.
Oh by the way this is view from our meeting room and it certainly beats the bare walls.

Poiints from the DIAMOND
I have been taking an advanced BNI training Program designed to instill major growth in Chapters
To highlight some of the lessons I have gathered, i will be posting information about the ideas, Here are a few with many more to come. The end product will be a major training program.
Change the name from Chapters to Success Teams. Chapters do not instill any knowledge about what we do. While success teams create an positive image that visitors would be more inspired to join, Will not happen overnight, but think about it.
Stop calling Member Success Program by the abbreviation, MSP. Asking members to attend a Member Success Program identifies the purpose and desired outcome. Pretty simple to accomplish. We just need to say the complete name,
The last point for today is the data has identified a clear connection between CEUs and application of BNI fundamentals to the total results of the Success Team. i will supply the supporting data after you have time to think about this fact,
Member Success Program
The May Member Success Program was excellent with 16 new members attending. As new members join and participate in the training, all chapters will remain healthy and ensure the future of BNI WNC. The training was especially positive for Southside with new member attending. Misty Keith with Personal Touch Movers, Richie Brulett with Burlett Painting, and Krystal Kinnunen with Lotus Womb. Julia Claus also attend from Lotus Womb to have more knowledge about BNI as she subs for Krystal. Special Thanks to each member who attended. Remember Your education continues through BNI Business Builders, One-to-Ones, and networking. This reneforces that a core value of BNI , Live Long Learning.
