BNI Leads group…yea or nay?
As a mortgage professional, I am always looking for ways to market, network, and increase business in an economically sensible way.  I have many different referral relationships currently in place, and my business is fairly strong. 
Recently I was invited to a BNI meeting by a very successful realtor, and had a very pleasant experience.  The meeting was at 7am (argh!!) and had 25 or so attendees who seemed very eager to help each other grow their business.  Many referrals were [assed about at the meting, and if mothing else, there was a good positive vibe amongst the members.
My question is simple: do you have experience with these types of groups, and if so, what has the experience been? 
I am someone who needs proof before I commit to something.  I do nothing halfway, and once I am committed, I am fully involved.  Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.  Thank YOU!
