Do you really Need to Be in a Business Network Group
i am sure it's been considered a privilege to be a part of BNI group. One Real Estate Agent/Broker vacancy will have at least 10 applications (that's what happened to one of our local BNI chapter.)
I was lucky NOT to get selected for this.
Well, that's just my opinion.
What's your take? What do you think?

Do you really Need to Be in a Business Network Group
One of my fellow agents asked the following questions by email:
""Hey Mike,
do you think business networking groups work?
Thanks!

I was with BNI for a year and a half… got leads.. etc but it takes a lot of time .
If you spend the same time prospecting your own sphere or online you will do more…for sure.
Here is why I quit BNI abruptly
I was talking to a RE manager and told him I am in a BNI group. He asked me why?
I said to build relationships so I can get referrals.
He said Cool!
Then he asked me how many people I know friends family etc.. that would or could give me referrals or biz if I asked them
I said 100-150
Then he asked me.. how many time do you ask them for referrals or meet…
I said I don’t have time for them all , I ask them here and there..
So he said… If you have 100-150 people you know and you do not have time for them, why do you want to make that group to 200????
SO I quit…and am glad I did.
I have more time now."""
Bottom line is: If you have enough of a sphere, you do not need to network for new sphere... work you sphere.."
Cheers.
