We are just about half way through the current BNI term so there is a chance that the group might be getting used to your presentations. Its time to start upping the ante a little. On a presentation skills course I attended years ago I was told that a visual prop is one of the most powerful ways of being remembered. Since I can't remember anything else from the course I assume it to be correct. It might take a bit of effort -- but try and get your hands on a lump or iron or metal to bring to this weeks presentation.
I have here before me a lumb of iron. Can anyone tell me how much it might be worth?
Its probably worth about ten euro. Has anyone any idea as to how we could make more money out of this lump of iron?
Well we could melt it down and turn it into horse shoes. It might double in value. Can anyone think of how we could make more money out of it? Maybe turn it into screw drivers its worth 250 euro. Go again - melt it down and turn it into needles and it is worth more than 3,000 euro. Think we could make more out of it?
How about we turn it into balance springs for watches and it becomes worth more than 250,000 euro.
Can anyone think of anything else that has potential to generate 250,000 euro worth of business?
[wait for someone to suggest their BNI membership ]
Thats right. But is everyone's BNI membership worth 250,000 euro? No. Some people's is worth 10 euro. The only problem is - you pay more than 60 times that to have it. In other words - your BNI membership has potential - it is up to you how much you make of that potential.
