Is Just Showing Up Enough?

Did Woody Allen really get it right?

BNI Founder, Dr. Misner thinks not. Here’s the story:

People often quote Woody Allen’s saying “80% of success is showing up.” But is that accurate? It’s true that showing up at BNI meetings increases the number of referrals you get, but showing up is just the beginning. Part of the law of attraction is action. Here are five actions you can take for success in BNI.

1. Create a 60-second introduction that changes each time. Train a sales force rather than trying to make sales.

2. Schedule a one-to-one meeting with someone from your group every week.

3. Take on a leadership role in your group. This raises both your visibility and your credibility–as long as you do a good job.

4. Bring legitimate referrals for other members.

5. Immerse yourself in referral education.
