Dr Ivan Misner was the keynote speaker at the UK BNI Members Day. Some visitors had travelled from around the world to spend a day with him, he did not disappoint.
There was a lot that he said, some of which I wrote up on my BNI chapter blog. As you will see, I cannot possibly do him justice in a few lines for what he said in a day. The blog was based on my notes and I wrote them out as I think that what he said was full of great ideas and stunningly useful.
Although camera shy Conrad and I still managed to get a photo with Dr Misner...
Dr Misner even got a mention in the Telegraph about
the latest problems in social media: Premature solicitation
Dr Misner maintains there are four types of networking and professional networkers practice all four:
- Social networking (online, Twitter, facebook etc),
- Professional networking (offline, like BNI),
- Knowledge networks (trade associations) and
- Casual networks (customers, friends etc).
Recent research proves that people who network less than 6.5 hours a week are not very successful. Yet those that do at least 6.5 hours per week achieve much more. Mystery solved!
If you are interested in generating more business, drop me a line I would be glad to invite you to my BNI chapter in Paddington - BNI Great Western.
