One Hour and One Lunch
One week to better business through BNI

SATURDAY
Spend ten minutes working on your tag line. Make it memorable, highlight the needs you fill, and have it recall your brand name.

SUNDAY
Spend ten minutes working on your 60-second presentation. Make sure you include your name, the location of your office, the types of business you want including your 70/20/10 percent activities, and highlight the benefits your service provides and close with your tag line.

MONDAY
Spend ten minutes thinking about which businesses or professionals could refer business to you. If those people are in your group, think about how to strengthen your relationships. If they aren’t, add them to your invite list.

TUESDAY
Pick a member of your chapter and, for ten minutes, think of what you could do to generate more referrals for her. The less you have in common with the member, the better.

WEDNESDAY
Have lunch with one member of your chapter. Meet in one of your offices, not a restaurant.

THURSDAY
Spend ten minutes talking to a non-member about your chapter of BNI—whether she is a potential new member or not. When she has a need, she’ll remember that you are a resource.

FRIDAY
Get to your BNI meeting ten minutes earlier or stay ten minutes later than you planned. If you can’t do that, pick up the phone during the day and spend ten minutes talking to another member about the meeting.
