I kind of agree with Scott, they do tend to look down on you a bit, but isnt that the mentallity of the british public anyway?
I think that the industry as a whole has started to gain more respect than it ever has in the past, but it's a slow process, by all acounts it certaily has in the States. The way i look at it is, if they look down on us its there problem, not mine, if they think that way then they are very shallow!!
I have no time for snobery whether it be inverted or not!!
As i said before, the BNI can and is a good way of getting your name out there and reaping the rewards, but it has to be the right chapter.
And as for the snobs...... Stuff em!!
