  • Bni® Business Network International
    Business Director Consultant
    Bni® Business Network International Jun 2016 - Jun 2017
    Barcelona Area, Spain
    BNI has the changed the way business managers do business. BNI teaches choice business leaders like myself, how to become professional networkers and group leaders. Its constant learning program helps us acquire a thorough understanding of what group strategy and business pooling is all about. To be successful in BNI, one must simply apply its amazing networking tools and implement key processes at group level - with a positive attitudeof course! In my books, the credentialism of referral marketing as a profession is the result; provided you don’t waste time asking "why"! Meaning, BNI tools and KPI’s will help you show others "how". There is nothing wrong with learning how to become a determining business person in your community. This can be achieved just by being exhaustive and disciplined ;)Allow me to add that the secret to BNI (like any other organisation or business in general) is that there is no secret! Positive attitude and professionalism is everything and is what helps people establish lng-lasting relationships; which in turn, lead to durable business opportunities.The idea is to teach members to filter contacts so that only qualified leads are being referred. For more information, check-out our group profile: BNI BMB Visió @22 Barcelona - the amazing group which I proudly founded.I am totally against the the BNI National office policy in Spain, as the national director is only keen in creating a multitude of groups, and hence does not abide by the "less is more" principle which is of paramount importance to me as a professional! There is an enormous incompatibility, which has lead to continual clashes and consequently, to my departure. I will not follow the curent national director or should say "Colonel Custer" to his defeat! I am 100% pro BNI principles and sad to see how the local franchisee is destroying in 1 year, what Mr Ivan Misner has taken 30 years to build! What a huge shame!!
