As we all spend the next few weeks shopping for the ones we love
in this season of giving - think about the gifts we can give our BNI
colleagues. Givers
Gain - We all know this to be true and now is a great time to put
emphasis on this aspect of BNI. Give to your chapter and community however
you can. Help organize a holiday party, a charity to support or an
organization to assist. 1 to
1's -What better way is there to learn about one another than
meeting face to face and discussing how you can help each other develop
business. There are also mixers and events that can contribute to grow your
contact sphere. Quality
Referrals - I'm certain a gift of a solid referral per week in December
will be much appreciated. Perhaps you can help someone get through the
holiday season with a great project or sale. Tell your clients, customers,
consultants, vendors, neighbors and family you belong to a networking
organization that has many business professions that you know, like and trust
and do business with. Partnering - Do you need help
with a challenge? Can you assist with something you're successful at?
Everyone needs a buddy or success partner to share ideas and challenges with
while holding one another accountable for helping your chapter. Think about
these back to basics in this season of giving. Think about how you can
contribute to the success of your chapter. Think about how you can help the
people you care about grow their business. I wish you all a happy, healthy
and safe holiday season. |

Tis the season of giving and the Better Business Builders has
taken it to another level. One of the members suggested that the chapter get
involved in Adopt-A-Family in need. The family chosen had 4 children with a
wish list. The chapter
bought a bike, clothing and everything else on the list with the $700 it
raised! While they were wrapping all the gifts at the chapter meeting, they
decided to buy Xmas dinner for the family and raised another $180 on the
spot! Congratulations
to the BBB for all their efforts. This is truly what BNI is all about! |

A few weeks ago my Financial District Chapter in downtown Boston
held a Visitor's Day It was a great turnout. I was sitting next to one of our
visitors and started a conversation. It turns out that he was from Israel and
was visiting his daughter here in the Boston area. Lavih Serfaty is an artist
in Israel and a brand new member of the Tel Aviv Chapter. I asked him
what prompted him to choose the Financial District Chapter to visit. Lavih
said he went on line and checked out the members of the Boston chapters. When
he discovered Joyce Creiger, an art consultant, was a member of our chapter,
that decided it for him. He and Joyce spent a lot of time networking. So, it
just goes to show that you never know where that special visitor may come
from! |
