Meeting process

How 90 minutes delivers consistent results.

The introduction

The meeting begins with a warm welcome from our  President (Edward Crothall), followed by BNI formalities and an Education piece by Jeannette Kwant.

60-second presentations

Every member delivers a concise presentation on their business and, crucially, states their specific, ideal referral ask for the week. This is where the entire network gets laser-focused on finding you business.

10-minute feature presentation

A different member delivers an in-depth presentation each week, educating the room on their expertise and helping members understand exactly how to secure high-value, referrals for them.

Raps & referrals

The most valuable part of the meeting. Members pass their qualified referrals, confirm one-to-one strategy meetings, and formally report their closed business (Thank You For Closed Business), contributing to our multi-million dollar result.
