How to be successful

at inviting guests

When I was younger

I was

A debt collector

…for an NGO

I was asking people

To pay for something

They already owned

Not the easiest sale…

So they sent me to London

Where I heard from the lips

Of the guru himself

That I was the world’s

best salesman

Great news!

If you pay up now

You can keep your stuff

The secret is

Always highlight the benefits

The same is true

Of inviting people to BNI

Always highlight the benefits

Myself?

I use my colleagues as an example

I say

Would you like the opportunity to meet

Allied Pickfords, Asiasafetech, Baker Tilly, Bangkok Health, Marriott, Designer’s Field, JLT Asia, Koll Thailand, KPIs.co, Midas PR, Ramburi, Sachayan Mansions, Mindscape Architects, T&B Solutions, TCC Thailand, URS Scott Wilson, Viva Creative

All in one room?

Well actually I don’t mention all of them

I mention those that are relevant to my guest

Since I joined BNI

I’ve noticed that

Business was fun again
