I am the Executive Director for BNI in Durham and Teesside. How can I help you?

@VueHelp Couldn’t respond when you asked. The wait for food made us late for our film. I have now responded

@vuecinemas you need more staff on the tills. Waited 10 mins and no movement or extra staff arriving #payinglotstowait

What approach do you take when presenting your business and who you are?
Here's one recommended by Charlie Lawson​

Do you know the three R's of networking:
relationships, reliability and referrals.

1. Relationships:
If you approach the first year of your involvement in a networking group with the sole motivation of getting to know the other members well, you will be far ahead of the game.

[BNI UK and Ireland @BNI_National]

Great to see our very own Executive Directors @danwkelly and @RussSawdon feature in @IvanMisner tweet! True message too #BNIUKIRE #Relationships #networking https://t.co/RpeC97p3d2

[Ivan Misner @IvanMisner]

It’s more than who you know. It’s how well you know them. If you have not yet established a strong relationship, they are not a referral source. Establish connections with those who knows you and trusts you because you’ve taken the time to establish credibility with that person

#PRESENTATIONTIPS: Gain eye contact with as many people in the audience as you can. Let your eyes travel around the room and catch everyone's for 2 -3 seconds. Don't stare though! - @CH_lawson

People do business with people that they KNOW, LIKE and TRUST. Any views on this? @PhilBerg88 @RussSawdon @CH_Lawson @bni01 @BNIOnline
