We are looking for a dynamic Event Planner who is interested in growing his/her business through referrals. We are looking for that well connected person to join our chapter so that we may send business referrals their way. Are you that Event Planner?

Come and visit our chapter on Thursday October 19th at 7 AM sharp, and see what the power of referral neworking can do for your business. Please check out our Visitors page to get more details on what to expect and what to bring.

Do you just can't seem to find referrals to give? Are you listening to "The Language of Referrals'? Find out what Dr. Misner - the founder of BNI - means in his video blog below.

Listen for key words like: I can't, I need, I want and I don't know, since what comes after is likely going to be a refferral for one of your business partners.

With so many Social Media platforms out there - Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Intsagram, Google+, Snapchat, Pinterest, etc. - and with more being created monthly it seems, it's a real challenge for business owners to pick and choose which platform to be active on and how much to be involved and engaged.

The real question is: where do you invest your efforts and spend your time to generate opportunities for your business? Social Media or networking? Which method produces the best results for your business? Where do you generate the most leads for your business?

BNI members already know the answer to this question, but if you're not sure check out Dr. Ivan Misner's blog Will Social Media Replace Face-to-Face Networking?

Hint: it's not Social Media!

You've run into this person at networking events many times: He (or she) quickly goes from one person to the next handing out as many business cards as possible yet fails to even ask you about your business - or even your name!

Don't be "The Card Dealer" at your next networking event; remember that business is built on relationships, not a stack of business cards.
