"I come out of Thursday's meeting ready to take on the world"
Martin Reardon - Premium Leaflets
I had not networked before and I found it very daunting at the beginning. I attended the training days not because I wanted to but because I had to. I had never done a PowerPoint presentation and put off my 8 minute presentation continuously. Missed meetings, I've been late and dodged 121's.
I was everything the group didn't want in a member.
With the help of group members I've raised my game, started doing meaningful 121's, contributing to meetings with referrals, I've got my investment back from a monetary point of view.
There is so much more I have gained from BNI Abbey that I can't put a value on.
I no longer have an issue with standing up in front of 20 people and speak for 60 second. I still don't like compulsory training days for BNI but have a greater understanding of their need. I did my 8 minutes and it was grand, I miss a lot less meetings these days and I look forward to 121's.
I come out of Thursday's meeting ready to take over the world and it carries through into Friday. If only our meetings were on a Monday.
This experience has opened my mind to so much more.
I like to thank everyone for the welcome and support I received.
"BNI has proved to be a very cost effect marketing strategy for my business"
Steve Taber - it'seeze Web Design
BNI's has proved to be a very cost effect marketing strategy for my business and within a few months I had more than recouped the annual membership fee through converted sales leads and I continue to get great quality referrals that nine times out of ten turn into sales.
In addition to the financial benefits of being a member of BNI I find the support and encouragement of fellow members invaluable especially if you are just starting out or work for yourself.
"We have the experience to cover any issues that I might come against"

I joined BNI Abbey 3 years ago with the main reason to increase my Sales and to set up a new network of contacts. What I didn’t realise at the time was that not only would I increase my turnover but I would gain numerous contacts/friends that I could call anytime and look for help in all aspects of my business.
Within the group we have Professionals for all types of business and that’s what I like. We have the experience to cover any issues that I might come against and I hope that I give back the same help to anybody within the group.
I recently renewed my membership and its down to the members of the BNI group that I did.
I would highly recommend BNI and this group to any potential new members. If you are just starting a new venture or have been in business for a couple of years BNI will help you grow your Sales and more importantly your Business Knowledge.
