What to Expect and Prepare for

Hi friend,

Will your business benefit from free referrals from 50 business owners.
Are you able to attend a weekly zoom meeting 630 to 830 am if this is what is needed to do #1?
Are you the type of person who is willing to observe and decide based on your observation.

If you answer yes to all 3 questions, then maybe, just maybe… attending and observer our zoom meeting of committed business owners at BNI Abundance.

Here is what to expect and prepare for when you attend a BNI Abundance Chapter meeting.

1.Expect to meet at least 50 business owners in the meeting who could potentially be your clients, suppliers, or business partners. Recommend to prepare to turn your video on for the zoom meet.

2. To get the best zoom experience for this Friday’s business meeting, pls guide us by answering this survey. The link to the zoom meeting is also in this form. This just takes 2 minutes.

Or you can type in this Meeting ID: 979 8441 6486

and the host will let you in if you pre-registered

4.While you can be late, your business can gain the most referrals when you come join on time.

5.Be prepared with a 30 second elevator speech about your business and what referrals you need. Can be in English, Taglish or Tagalog. Personally, I have proven that 80 words or less, written down and read when its your turn, works the best. Or if you are an experienced speaker, you can just follow how the others do it. As a sample, here is one of the 80 word elevator speeches I use:

“ Yung SALES Target mo ba sa 2023 mahirap, parang di maabot? If you still want to hit your sales target, now is the time to get a Business Coach. This is OMG Bong De Ungria, Operations and Marketing Guru of Transforme SERVICES. , I headed billion peso companies with thousands of employees, I can be your Coach. This week, I am looking for referrals to TEAMS who want to TRANSFORM and hit their 2023 Sales Target” -One of my 30 second elevator speeches that is 80 words long that I read and refer to during my turn. – OMG Bong

6.Aside from the chance to advertise your business, you will also be given a chance to explain your business in several breakout rooms. Pre-registering will allow the organizers to bring you to the most relevant breakout room for you.

7.In case you miss a Friday meeting, let’s try again next Friday!

By the way, BNI is very different from other “networking” groups in 2 key areas:

We dont ask you to add a new product or service. What we BNI does is to help promote is your existing business.
I dont gain any monetary benefit in your attendance to the meeting or even your joining BNI. We are happy if your current business grows because of BNI.
