FitLine in Business Networking International

I belong to the world's largest referral organisation, BNI (Business Networking International). I have been a member for more than 3 years now.


Apart from getting referrals for business, the organisation encourages us to build relationship amongst each other, to farm for business and not farm for business.

Each week, we are given a specified time (usually less than 60seconds) to educate our members on who we are looking for.

What have I gained from BNI (apart from receiving referrals)? True friends, network and most importantly self development, especially public speaking and leadership.

Jim Rohn has once said "It's not what you have achieved at the end of the day that matters. It's who you have become"

Networking Like a Pro

Last week, I attended a 'Business Networking Charity Dinner'. Since I believe that the more you give, the more you receive, and I wanted to give to a good cause.

Upon arrival, I saw many insurance agent and will writers, busy canvassing all the guests there. Dont get me wrong. I am OK with salesperson. But only when I am looking to buy something and no hard sales! Imagine being sold to when you start talking to someone less than 5 minutes! What a bummer!

Anyway, ever since reading more books on networking, I am focusing on adding value first to my FitLine prospects and doing that sincerely. People normally want to receive first before start giving.
