Jackie Davidson Mix it up Marketing, Web and Design I went to MSP2 thinking I would brush up on my 60 second commercial. I thought my 60 seconds were great, but wanted to fine-tune it. What I learned was my 60 second commercial was not very effective. I was putting way to much information in and people's eyes were glazing over at all the things my company did. I was listing many things out in rapid succession. I learned to break it down and concentrate on one thing during the 60 seconds. It was very informative and will make my BNI experience more productive.

Tina Kodanko Regence "The MSP 2 Training on 60 second commercials was a very well spent 2 hours (that flew by) because it afforded me the opportunity to learn the value of keeping my commercial focused on my "sales team". I had been executing my commercials to sell direct to the BNI audience and in fact, I need to arm my sales team with critical information they can remember to sell to their circle of influence! It was truly an "ah ha" experience and Jeremy did a great job encouraging us with humor and insight. This is one class YOU should not miss!"

Laura Johnson Boise AM chapter “If you’re like me, you really want to improve yourself and your business, as well as the way you relate to your clients and staff. I wander through the bookstore, the supermarket, the drug store and am faced with hundreds of books to improve myself or the way I do business or relate to people. Occasionally, I come across a book that interests me. I buy it and read the first chapter and the second. Then I wade through the third chapter and the fourth. Eventually it gets added to the stack of books that “I will finish someday”. What I really want is to be able to buy the Cliff Notes for those books. I don’t want to have to wade to through all the stuff to get to the meat, that one or two things that I can glean that I will be able to implement and use to change, my business and my life. Well, I found where I can get just that! Advanced Training. Ross extracts the meat and delivers it Cliff Note style. He has already done all the hard work and I can come, participate, and go home with concrete ideas to implement and ways to improve. Everyone should take advantage of this free opportunity.” I hope this is of benefit. Sincerely, Laura Johnson Bookkeeping Services 208.461.4322 office 208.461.2896 fax 208.899.7225 mobile

Heidi Laursen Source Mortgage I became a member of BNI in April of 2006. As a mortgage broker it was extremely difficult to find a chapter that had an opening. (Now I know why). I was nervous to start a chapter and apprehensive about what the opportunity would be like, if it would be worth the time and money. After being involved in the Two Rivers Chapter almost 2 years I can honestly say it has been well worth both two-fold. I have met some incredible professionals in the Treasure Valley and not only have I benefited financially which I can say BNI has been over 60% of my income the last year and a half, but I have made some lifelong friends! To me BNI is such a privilege to be associated with. It is so professional and fun, I look forward to my meetings every week! Thank you for all you do in helping all of us grow and learn how to get the most out of our BNI membership. You truly exhibit the givers gain philosophy and we all get to reap the benefits.

Margit Heist Accenture Design BNI is the best thing since sliced bread and microwaves! I joined BNI rather spontaneously, believing my friend's testimonial about how wonderful it was. I had no real idea of what I was getting into. My experiences from the beginning have been enlightening, encouraging and just plain fantastic. After working in the home based business industry for a while, it was so refreshing to meet other business owners and learn from them. I no longer felt alone in my quest for success. I really could rave on forever about how BNI has helped change my life. The friendships and guidance are invaluable. I also attribute BNI to helping give me the courage to go after what my heart really desired and started my own Interior Design Business. I have never been happier, more clear in my goals and encouraged by other successful business people. Thank you BNI for being here!

Sherri Swihart Computer Stop BNI has meant a lot to me for my professional growth. The success of being able to form a presentation to convey to others and a vehicle to share in the givers gain philosophy is irreplaceable. I have grown my business through out the year, but I would have to say professional growth out ways it all. BNI is held in the highest regard in our company for the value it brings to us all. I look forward to continually growing my chapter as well as others this upcoming year. I know when I give the rewards of gaining you can't explain. Sincerely, Sherri Swihart Computer Stop, Inc.

Jeanine Ward The Bean Counter I have been a member of BNI for many years and my business had grown to its capacity early 2007. I scaled back the business to re-structure things. When I was ready to begin retention of new customers again, BNI was my first and best option. Because of BNI, the giver's gain philosophy and integrity of its members my business is close to customer capacity once again and BNI has contributed to over 35% of my total revenue! So, this process works and I am thankful for the business and the relationships I have! Thanks for everything Jeremy, Jeanine Ward The Bean Counter

Jennifur Newhouse The Newhouse Team/ Keller Williams I've been a member of BNI for 4 years and have seen a dramatic increase in my real estate business. Not only does it allow me to do business by referral, but it also allows me to improve my public speaking skills through 60 second commercials and 10 minute presentations. I love how organized BNI is with agendas at every meetings, a format for passing and receiving referrals, education classes and social events to deepen business to business relationships. Thank you, BNI! Jennifur Newhouse The Newhouse Team Keller Williams Realty Boise

Jon Colson The Colson Team/Keller Willams Realty I have been in BNI for around 6 years. The first year, I was excited because over 10% of my business came from BNI. That was very good considering the small investment. In 2007, 90.1% of my business came from BNI. This does not even take into account all of the hidden benefits of BNI. BNI's "Givers Gain" philosophy is absolutely true. You get what you put in, many times over.

Dr. Alan Barnes 21st Century Chiropractic Jeremy. I just wanted to thank you for putting on the MSP advanced training. I learned things I can implement today in my life, my business and in BNI. What a fantastic event. Ross was amazing, and the ideas he gave are mind-blowing. Thanks for a great seminar. Alan Barnes
