Are BNI groups worth it?
BNI, as with any other networking group is only worthwhile if you are aware of what you want/need from the group and whether that group can deliver it. I would go along to one for a visit to see you like it, some groups you click with and some you don’t.
Do you have the right attitude for BNI networking?
We all assume aptitude but we often forget about attitude and after three decades in BNI, I can tell you that this is critical. Effective networking is dependent on the quality of the relationships that you actually develop in the group. If your network is a mile wide and an inch deep, you won’t be getting the referrals you expect.

How many connections are in a group?
This multiple of connections gets even more interesting as it gets larger. For example, if you double a group of 24 members to 48 members, that group goes from 576 connections to 2,304 connections (double the size – quadruple the connections)!
How can I be more actively engaged in a group?
Another way to be actively engaged in a group is to do regular and consistent 1-2-1s (meet with members outside the regular BNI meeting). Over and over, I see that members who do regular 1-2-1s tend to both give AND get more referrals. Lastly, are you and your members doing really effective introductions every week?
