Running a Weekly Chapter Meeting Agenda President training
Wasting time in unproductive meetings has become a common joke in business. To avoid wasting your time, since we were founded in 1985, every BNI® Chapter meeting is run by an agenda. Each item on the agenda was an innovation that generated more referrals for Members.The BNI® Meeting Agenda is the core element that makes the BNI® system work for each Member. With the best of intentions, there have been Chapters that have altered the agenda for their Chapter. They felt their innovation was better. When comparing the number of referrals passed in the least amount of time, no agenda has proven more effective than the BNI® Weekly Meeting Agenda. Only BNI® Chapter Members get to use this agenda. It has been refined through millions of meetings to maximize effectiveness. Use the agenda in an energizing way to engage the Members and wow the visitors, and you will generate more referrals for your Chapter.
