“He doesn’t know what he is talking about”.
Yes he does. You have been sold upon. BNI is in business of making money. It does that with new memberships, and you. Your time is then free to them when you pay out the wazzou for a membership, and help them get new members to join. Almost like a pyramid scheme.
Actually he doesn’t. It’s clear by his description of it he has little knowledge of how it works. It’s abundantly clear he has never been a member.
The ROI is at least 10x what you pay. It’s an investment not a cost.
I have attended many BNI meetings. All they want is for you to promote them, and you have to pay a membership fee to do that. Pay a large fee, so you can work to promote other companies for free…hmmm. You will wake up sometime.
I am not going to grasp at fog. If you don’t get it, you won’t get it.
My work here is complete… :lol:
I pay a fee to get involved in a BNI, I promote them yes i’am paying out] so don’t they promote me at the same time?
Joe its obvious you don’t know what you are talking about. Why wouldn’t you just concede that have never been a member, don’t know how it works, don’t know its value and you should have never tried to make a comment on something you don’t understand. Its unbecoming to act like you know what you are talking about and then try to insult me. I am not trying to insult you. I am just making sure everyone knows that your opinion is baseless.
Nope. You just pay and never get a return. Guess you got sold too :roll:
It is for some folks and not others. I suggest you use the search and see what others have said about it around here before. it has been a topic many times. Feel free to call me to discuss I am in South East Florida and have experience with BNI and Le Tip.
It was not for me and it is easier to discuss over the phone my reasons than typing.
I am by my phone now 954-922-0584
It isn’t for everyone. I don’t always like waking up extra early to go but I do it. Not liking it is ok. Posting misinformation about it is just ridiculous.
Thanks everyone, I think all of you have some good information and great points of view on both sides, some like it some don’t. I see three thing that have to all come together before it works,and that is , you have to like a weekly meeting with a lot of other people, every one has to need and get along with each other, and it has to in the right area. Oh it also cost, but every thing does Thanks guys
I could care less of what people think of me… especially a newbie like yourself. :mrgreen:
I sure do hate it when well meaning idiots call me a liar… I also know what I’m talking about. I was a 2-year member of [BNI Capital Group](Business Networking Referral Organization BNI West Central Florida Gainsville, Ocala, Clearwater, Wesley Chapel, New Tampa | BNI Tampa WCF | Business Referrals | Networking Groups Tampa | Word of Mouth Marketing | Networking | English (US) BNI Capital Group (Brandon)) (Brandon) and left in 2010, I’m sure Nola would remember me. 
You should do your homework before calling other people out especially when you are talking out of your ***. :lol:
The new guys fall for that BNI crap, just like they do for the Recall Chek deception.
THat chapter has passed almost 2,500,000 dollars in the last 12 months. You couldn’t cut out a nice piece of that for yourself? I still think your are lying. Either way, if you can’t cut out a worth while percentage of that figure, its a great testament of your character.
ROFLMAO
HEY JOE
This is a quote from you about BNI
I found that I can get just as much out of it by being a substitute, all the connections and none of the commitment.
So were you a member or not?
FYI although we sometimes give subs and visitors referrals the policy is generally to get to know them first. If you aren’t a member, you aren’t likely to experience much benefit.
Also, anyone in BNI knows we don’t give LEADS to anyone. Leads are for salesman. That’s not we do.
This message is hidden because jjimenez is on your ignore list.
I’ll revisit this next year but most likely you’ll be back to flippin’ burgers by then… loser. 
No soup for you. :lol:
Just as I thought 
As I was saying. Get your opinions from someone who is a member. It is like anything else. If you want it to work for you, you need to work for it. If you can’t get it to work, its your fault, no one elses.
Hey Juan,
If the cheeseburger flippin’ don’t work out, you can always go back to the Corps and get your job back as a security guard.
