We’re starting to appreciate the value of 1-to-1s. It’s too easy to become distracted or only give half your attention (from both sides) when using the telephone, or e-mail. When you engage properly with other people you will get the most from them.

I will pass along that input. Our relationship with BNI is in it’s early stages. If a strategic partnership is finalized we would certainly make changes such as you suggest.

As we are having a Members Day it has been made possible to seek one on ones amongst those registered.There should be a List of emails and phone numbers available of all chapters in order to facilitate one on ones beyond one’s own chapter.

how great that you are from Knoxville!

The GAINS profiles are a wonderful tool. In fact, I have considered adding something similar to our website for our members to use.

Would appreciate any helping spread the word about us in Israel.

Dear Jonathan and Dan, beautiul! and I want to add: we are trying in our chapter to promote the “GAINS PROFILE”. we are aspiring to email our profiles to each other 2-3 days prior to our 1-to-1′s, thus coming to the meetings well prepared to dive into business. Also, when I conduct MSP workshops, I strongly encourage members to work with their profiles and mail them before the 1-to-1′s. This way the 1-to-1′s are more business-like, focused, effective, time efficient, and produce much better referrals and broaden the networking process.

And by the way, I am a graduate [MBA] of the University of Tennessee [Knoxville], 1978, and currently living and working in Jerusalem Israel!

Ben/Warren

Thank you for your comments. I can honestly say that 1-to-1s are THE way to build a relationship and therefore your business. Ben is right, chapters often times need reminders of the importance. I believe Dr. Misner has statistics on the income generated from chapters that have many, many 1-to-1s.

Don’t forget that these suggestions work for 1-to-1s outside your chapter, with other BNI members or just other contacts.

Valuable tips and info, just what I need for a ‘pep’ talk to our chapter’s educational slot! It is easy to think that 1-2-1′s are not valuable….time to change the minds set.

This is sooo true of the importance of building business relationships thru 1 to 1 contact. I have enjoyed learning from Dan & other successful Networkers thruout the BNI sphere of knowledge. I have had the pleasure of being able to spend time having a 1 to 1 with Dan Rawls just recently. What a powerful & productive time it was. Great article
