特別篇1:BNI在線 (Special Episode 1: BNI Online)



大家好,我是BNI的創始人兼首席遠見官Ivan Misner。這是BNI播客的第一集特別節目。特別集第一集。請一定要告訴你的BNI會員們這一集。這是一個很重要的節目
必然性是發明之母 三十五年前,我經歷了一次相當艱難的商業挑戰。

那次挑戰的結果就是創建了BNI。
今天,我們許多人都在經歷著一些相當艱難的挑戰。我再一次相信,必要性是發明之母。


沒有什麼比我們的成員和領導人的安全更重要的了



我們一直在密切關注世界大事,並為本組織繼續為您和您的業務提供支持做準備。我們投入了大量資源,並正在投資於新的工具,以便在這段時間內為您提供支持。
因此,我們創建了一個強大的新會議平台,名為BNI Online。這是一個簡單而有效的方法,讓您在家中或辦公室裡就能與您的網絡保持聯繫,它與傳統的BNI會議的結構和議程基本相同,只需點擊幾下鼠標就能完成。
我們已經成功地運行了BNI在線平台的試驗,事實證明,它能有效地產生高質量的引薦和 "感謝您的關閉業務"。
你的分會會長或BNI董事將在未來幾天內聯繫你,向你提供更多關於這個偉大的新服務的信息,我們已經準備好了在這段時間內幫助你。

這個組織的優勢一直以來都是會員們團結一致,互相幫助和支持的方式。這些年來,我親眼目睹了這一點,我看到會員們在加州北嶺地震、卡特里娜颶風、日本海嘯和澳大利亞最近的大火之後,如何走到一起。當會員與其他會員分享他們的需求時,我看到奇蹟發生了。我一次又一次地看著這個組織的成員們以一種讓我感到不可思議和謙卑的方式相互支持。
今天,我們有機會再來一次這樣做,我很自豪地看到成員、董事和全球支持團隊站出來尋找解決當前問題的辦法。
在BNI,我們的使命不變:通過有組織、積極、專業的引薦營銷計劃,幫助會員增加業務。
我們的使命沒有變,只不過機制變了。
當時機成熟的時候,我們可以回到我們的面對面會議,我們會帶著對未來可能的強大意識,回到他們的身邊。

八年前我被診斷為癌症時,我做的第一件事就是寫下了一份關於這種非常嚴重的情況下可能的積極結果的清單。我想出了一個清單,裡面有很多項目。我必須告訴你,這些可能結果中的每一個對我來說都實現了。每一個都實現了!
我請你也這樣做。列出一個清單,列出所有可能的積極結果,這個臨時過渡期對你來說,可能會有的積極結果。


這裡有四點可以幫助你入門
  1. 別人可能會在這段時間裡掙扎,但你每週都會有機會繼續做引薦業務。
  2. 如果你有什麼需要,你會有機會接觸到你的引薦夥伴來幫助你解決這個需要。
  3. 你去參加BNI會議的通勤就像你的電腦一樣遠。
  4. 嘿,你可以穿著運動褲參加BNI會議,沒有人會知道。
花點時間,創建一個你自己的 "可能的積極結果 "清單,在接下來的幾個星期裡,你有可能發生的結果,我敢打賭,你一定能夠實現其中的大部分或全部。
這是一個機會,當別人沒有機會接觸到你所擁有的強大的網絡時,你就可以保持你的生意。
我們會從另一邊走出來,我們會成為一個更強大的組織。我們會變得更強大,因為我們都是一個擁有強大核心價值的社區的一部分。而這個核心價值就是我們的 "Givers Gain "理念。今天,我們比以往任何時候都更需要互相支持,而BNI在線是幫助我們實現這一目標的工具。
對我來說,BNI不僅僅是一個會議,它是一場運動。它是關於改變世界做生意的方式。
我邀請你在這個網站上分享你的故事。告訴我你如何利用BNI在線幫助你渡過這個困難時期。我想聽聽你的故事。

保持健康,我們將幫助你成功。
我是Ivan Misner,BNI的創始人。謝謝你






Hi, this is Ivan Misner, Founder and Chief Visionary Officer of BNI. This is the first ever Special Episode of the BNI Podcast. Special Episode Number One. Please make sure to tell your fellow BNI members about this episode. It’s an important one.

Necessity is the mother of invention. Thirty-five years ago, I was going through a pretty tough business challenge. The result of that challenge was the creation of BNI.

Many of us are experiencing some pretty difficult challenges today. Once again, I believe that necessity is the mother of invention.

There is no higher priority than the safety and well-being of our members and leaders in BNI.

We have been closely monitoring world events and preparing the organization to continue to provide support to you and to your business. We have committed significant resources and are investing in new tools to support you during this time.

As a result, we have created a powerful new meeting platform called BNI Online. It’s a simple and effective way for you to stay connected to your network from the comfort of your home or office. It’s essentially the same as a traditional BNI meeting with the same structure and agenda, and all it takes is a few mouse clicks.

We have successfully run trials of the BNI Online platform and it has proven to be effective in generating quality referrals and “Thank You for Closed Business.”

Your Chapter President or BNI Director will be reaching out to you in the coming days with more information about this great new service that we have prepared to help you during this time.

The strength of this organization has always been in the way members come together to help and support each other. I have seen this first-hand over the years. I’ve seen how members have come together after the earthquake in Northridge, California, the hurricanes like Katrina, the Tsunami in Japan, and the recent brush fires in Australia. When members share their needs with other members, I have seen magic happen. Over and over again, I have watched as members of this organization support one another in a way that I find both incredible and humbling.

We have a chance to do this again today. I am so proud to see the members, directors, and global support team step up to find solutions to the current problem.

Our mission, in BNI, remains the same: To help members increase their business through a structured, positive, and professional referral marketing program.

The mission remains the same. Only the mechanism has changed. When the time is right, we can go back to our face-to-face meetings. But we will go back to them with a powerful awareness of what is possible for us in the future.

When I was diagnosed with cancer eight years ago, the very first thing I did was write down a list of the Possible Positive Outcomes of this very serious situation. I came up with a list of many items. I have to tell you that every single one of those potential outcomes has come true for me. Every one.

I ask you to do the same. Make a list of all the Possible Positive Outcomes that this interim transition can have for you.

Here are four to help you get started:

  1. Others may struggle during this time, but you’ll be in a position to continue to do referral business every week.
  2. If there’s something you need, you’ll have access to your referral partners to help you with that need.
  3. Your commute to your BNI meeting is as far away as your computer.
  4. Hey, you can attend a BNI meeting in your sweatpants and no one will ever know.

Take a few moments and create your own list of Possible Positive Outcomes that can occur over the next few weeks. I bet you will be able to achieve most, or all of them.

This is an opportunity to keep your business going when others don’t have access to the powerful network that you do.

We’re going to come out the other side of this and we’ll be a stronger organization when we do. We will be stronger because we are all part of a community that shares a powerful core value. And that core value is our philosophy of Givers Gain. Today more than ever, we need to support each other and BNI Online is a tool to help us do that.

To me, BNI is more than a meeting, it’s been a movement. It’s about Changing the Way the World Does Business.

I invite you to share your stories here on this site. Tell me how you’re using BNI Online to help you weather this difficult time. I want to hear your story.

Stay healthy and we’ll help you stay successful.

This is Ivan Misner, Founder of BNI. Thank you.
