Have you heard of it? To be honest I hadn't, until I was invited to come and visit by a client. I went to my first meeting I was impressed there were 20 members in the room. Each one represented ONE industry, there where NO competators in that room...well except for me there were 3 other agents besides me all viving for the position of Realtor of the group.
What impressed me was how orginzed well run and orderly the meeting went each member was given a 45 second infomerical. (each week they are to say something different and be specific about what they are wanting to get referred that week). Then 2 memebers are given a 10 minute presentation to discribe in detail and aspect of their business as well as tell the group something personal about them.
Respected, knowledgeable and trust worthy members who bring a positive and helpful vibe are allowed. The process to get a proved is pretty serious, which made me estatic that they choose me for the spot. (not that I have a competative nature or anything :) ... )
I seriously recomend finding out if your community has a BNI group, they share and refer business even internationally within memebers. I for one would love to know other BNI Realtors that are on Active Rain so they can move to the top of my referral list. If your not sure if your area has a BNI group message me I will look it up on BNI Connect an online resource for members that gives that information out.
Anyhow I just thought I would throw it out there that as far as Networking Groups this one I highly recommend.
