ADVANCED MSP TRAINING ON KEYNOTE PRESENTATIONS
Members from several Socal BNI chapters teamed up to attend a recent Advanced Training. Not only did individuals find it very beneficial, but they're taking their knowledge and enthusiasm back to their other chapters members!
Tritons BNI members: Giselle Chapman, Howard Goldstein,
Cindy Mason, Patricia Schneider, Ellen McDannel
"I thought the Advanced Training on Keynote Presentations was really beneficial. It give me instructions on how to lay out the 10 minutes presentation - how to focus on narrow
aspects of my business and how to say what I want concisely. - Ellen McDannel, Tritons BNI, Diamond Travel
Poseidon BNI members: Len Archibeque, Scott Eaton,
Richard Lozzi, Tyler Johnson, Viviana Schulman
"This training will elevate the quality of presentations in our chapter. We had gotten into some bad habits, and because so many of us attended, we can take it back to our other chapter members. It is a good thing." - Scott Eaton, Poseidon BNI, Eaton's Income Tax Service
"This taught a fairly simple, but great, framework to design my talk. The value is more than just for BNI presentations, because I do sales and professional presentations all the time." - Bill Pyott, BNI Power Professionals, New York Life
BNI Power Professionals members: Travis Benedict,
Susan Chubbuck, Tom Hoffman, Kathi Lewandowski,
Lyn Garner, Jeff VanRensselear, Mary Ann Heilsberg,
Bill Pyott

I NAILED MY KEYNOTE PRESENTATION!!!
"After attending the Advanced MSP Training on Keynote Presentations, I re-wrote my talk. Everyone said it was the best and most powerful presentation I ever gave. One person said he finally understood what it is I actually do! I know I will get some business based completely on what I said in the presentation. Thanks for the great material!" - Jason West, Laguna Hills BNI

VERY SUCCESSFUL VISITORS DAYS
BNI has systems for success! So it is only logical that BNI has a system for successful Visitors Days. It involves a chapter setting goals for membership and then working with the chapter Director to plug into the step-by-step
process. Every chapter member has to be committed and must
participate. Yes, it takes more work than inviting a guest once in awhile, but the payoff is great!
Just ask members of the following chapters who completed
VERY SUCCESSFUL VISITORS DAYS the past 3 months and added these new members:
Circle of Success BNI 8
Energetic Referrals BNI 8
Sunrise BNI 8

BNI LETTER OF CREDIT GOOD AFTER 15 YEARS!
Beth Flarida was a member of the Newport Beach chapter of BNI in 1993 - 15 years ago. When she had to leave the chapter, she asked for a Letter of Credit. Dr. Misner
obliged and issued that for the remaining 12 months of her membership. In May, 2008, Beth was invited to visit the Sunrise Chapter of BNI in Placentia and decided to submit an application. She was accepted, paid her Registration Fee, and used her Letter of Credit for membership.
The question everyone asks is, "How did she manage to keep the Letter of Credit for 15 years?"
The answer is easy: She is a Professional Organizer! Welcome back, Beth! - Beth Flarida, Sunrise BNI, Get It Together, 714-695-9622
AMBASSADORS ARE CHAPTER COACHES
Ambassadors are part of the Socal BNI team to help chapters be successful - they are coaches! And like good coaches, they are there to support, encourage, and help chapters and members achieve more. They are also team members because
each Ambassador is a member of his or her own chapter.
One very valuable thing that an Ambassador will bring
to your chapter is knowledge and experience from other Socal chapters. Because they work with several chapters, they get to see skills and techniques that other chapters have
developed and they will share those with you. They
specifically are working with Visitor Hosts, Education
Coordinators, and Mentors.
BECOME AN AMBASSADOR!
- Get more exposure and credibility within the BNI network!
- Help other chapters and members!
- Receive additional Networking Training!
If you would like more information about the Ambassador
Program, or to apply, email Jenni Nering.

 BNI TAUGHT ME SKILLS I NEVER LEARNED IN MY MBA!
Wendy Carter has a degree in Finance and an MBA - and a very
successful automotive repair business! A member for 10 months, Wendy says BNI has taught her presentation skills, how to promote in a professional manner and, it has increased her comfort talking with people about her business.
"BNI has generated a lot of new customers for us. So far I have 29 new customers, and at this rate, that will produce over $43,500 in new business this year," Wendy states.
Wendy wanted to get out of the Corporate Rat Race. When Millers Automotive came up for sale, she knew the value of the business. She had been a customer for years. Over the last nine years of owning it, she has retained employees of 27 and 21 years and attributes her success to treating people with respect.... and now BNI.

BNI Releases Year End Statistics for 2007!
It is a known fact that BNI is the largest business networking organization in the world; yet it is always exciting and inspiring to see the concrete numbers which prove it. So, without further ado, here are the official statistics for the year 2007—
As of January 2008:
Total BNI Countries: 39
Total No. of Chapters: 5,010
Total Members: 103,607
Total Referrals: 5.5 Million
Total Value of Referrals to Members: 2.2 Billion (U.S. Dollars)
It is impressive to note the solidity of the statistics for Referrals and their value, which are calculated based on TWO doctoral studies—the first done by Dr. Ivan Misner, BNI’s Founder & Chairman, and the second done in 2005 by Julien Sharp, a business consultant and BNI member from Florida. These powerfully reliable statistics are proof that networking delivered a huge pay-off for BNI members around the world in 2007!
The 2007 year-end statistics clearly speak volumes about the value of word-of-mouth networking anywhere in the world. These outstanding statistics are a great way to show the universal benefits of business networking!
