[A & J Owen Window Cleaning]

did this for a year but we had nothing out of it. a lot of running around for quotes. didn't really enjoy it not for trades people. for you if you do commercial yes will prob get something. for the 60sec talk keep it quirky and sign off with a slogan like ours  " let us put the shine back into your life"

 I was invited to a BNI meeting a couple of month's ago here in galway ireland as a first time guest.
 The meeting started at 6.45 am prompt every thursday, this chapter had 16 members had been going 2 years
but seem to struggle to get new members to join,  By the time you pay your joining fee plus annual membership
fee plus 10 euro a week breakfast fee plus vat = 1500 euros+ alot in my view when you have to rely on referals
amongst the chapter [ Group] to get work. I googled BNI to research it more, its all over the world, very strictly
run and organised, some suggest its like a cult. some do well out of it but a lot dont and leave, so there is a big emphasis on members to recruit new members. Anyway i thought it wasn't for me.

There is only one winner in a busy/successful 'BNI' group!

THE GUY WHO RUNS IT!

Your money pays his wages! Simple, the more people that join his chapter or his 'other' chapters the more money HE makes.

Its a franchise, you are paying the organiser for making the arrangements for you all to meet up.

All very very good, as long as you are the one running the chapter!!
