Our BNI "Business Masters" Chapter -- rocks!

Recently, several business people in the City of Des Moines have been making their way each Wednesday morning to the Cub Club for a great meeting to create word-of-mouth referrals. 

As many of us in the Real Estate Industry know, the best type of business lead that you can receive is a referral.  We can obtain them from past customers, yet they aren't as inclined to think of their role in our business as being a "salesperson" on our team. 

It's different with the BNI group -- Business Networking International's moral compass revolves around the premise that "Givers Gain" -- the more referrals I give to you, the more likely you are to want to give referrals back to me.   This new chapter has quickly grown from 1 to 7 members, and we're looking to grow to 25 as quicly as possible -- while attempting to maintain a commitment to adding outstanding professionals in each industry group to our Chapter.

I am currently the President of our group, which means that the Residential Realtor slot has been filled, but we are looking for all manner of business people who could benefit from receiving more referrals.  Currently, some of the top slots that we would like to fill are:

Electrician, Plumber, HVAC, Flooring, Building Products, Kitchen Design (and many other housing related industries)

Executive Recruiter, Attorney-Family Law, Commercial Real Estate Agent, Retail Banker

Cosmotologist, Masseuse, Personal Trainer, Make-up Professional (like Mary Kay)

Website Developer, Computer Repair/Sales, Auto Sales and/or Repair, Furniture Sales

And the list goes on and on.  For more information about BNI and the chapters that currently exist in Iowa, visit http://www.BNIIOWA.com If you know someone who might be a candidate for one of our slots, drop me an email message.  BNI is the #1 Business Networking group in the world so you know they have to be doing something right!

If you're not currently in a Business Networking group, and you're not in an industry which is already represented, we'd love to have you come visit the Cub Club on Wednesday mornings, at 7:00AM!
