In business everyone wants to make more sales or money!   Many believe sales is difficult. That you need to do your ABC's (always be closing) and looking for new customers.   But there is a much more productive way to generate opportunities to sell and grow your business.  In today's show my guest Braith Bamkin shares how referrals can grow a business. But before we start, here's a bit about Braith… Braith has several degrees, including Psychology and Marketing and has worked for organisations such as Nokia and Telstra. These days Braith is a speaker, trainer AND the Executive Director of 2 successful BNI regions in Australia.  BNI which stands for Business Networking International, is an American franchised networking organization with over 270,000 members across 74 countries around the world.  Like his BNI groups, Braith is passionate about helping businesses grow through referrals. In this episode, Braith and I discuss what a referral is, how to give and receive them and how, with the right strategy, it can grow a business. To find out more about Braith, visit www.braithbamkin.com To find out more about BNI (Business Networking International) or find a BNI in your area of the world, visit www.bni.com  https://youtu.be/vAoja-L-WhA Transcription Donna Hanson: Experts insight episode we speak with Braith Bamkin. Braith has several degrees, including psychology and marketing and it's worked for organizations such as Nokia and Telstra, but these days. Bryce is the executive director of two successful BNI for the uninitiated that stands for business networking international regions and he's passionate about helping businesses grow through referrals. Hi, Braith. Welcome. How are you today. Braith Bamkin: I am fantastic Donna, thank you very much for inviting me on to said this with you and your viewers. Donna Hanson: Awesome. So, let's just get stuck striding what my first question shifting from corporate to BNI and having BNI on many regions why the move? Braith Bamkin: Do you mind if I take you back in time back to the 80s and I was around I'm not sure you were around my very first real job was working in commercial textiles and I remember in the very first week of working in that company, the woman that had started this business. Now we're driving across the Sydney Harbour Bridge as you do. And I was looking up at the good as and she said to me, Braith, if you're going to be successful in this business, you need to know how to network. So, this is the 80s is I was young, I knew everything. Of course, I knew nothing, and I had no idea what that word meant so we went into town. We did our business and on the way, back. I was looking at the girl as again on the Harbour Bridge. And I said, Judy. I have no idea what networking is can you explain what you mean by that. And over the next two years, she taught me what networking was and how you could build your business and how you can become successful through networking and it was a lesson that I took with me. Well, the rest of my time in that business. And as I moved through corporate and one thing led to another and my very last job, I was working in the mattress business. I was a national sales and marketing manager. We had franchisees and I think you've got a network, you've got a network. And one of them said to me, where are you doing it. And I went, you know, I've given up something I know works well. In fact, I had actually started a networking group here in Melbourne about 20 years ago so nothing. Nothing to do with being I was a not for profit. And it's still going. And you know, I went back into it and somebody invited me to obey and I'm at and the rest, as they say, is history. Donna Hanson: Wow, you know, sometimes you dip your toe into the water on something and then you decide that. That's for you. Braith Bamkin: Yeah. Well, I mean, my father said to me when I was probably in my 30s.

Here are the steps that every new real estate agent should take. Welcome to episode three of my series where I go over 10 steps every agent should take to build their business. This series is meant for newer agents, but they're still great tips that every agent should be following.  Today, I'm going to start with step five: Join a networking group. Groups like Business Networking International are a great way to share your knowledge among peers. As you do this, you'll naturally gain contacts where you mutually benefit each other. If you aren't in a networking group, I recommend you join one as soon as possible. They offer too much opportunity to skip out on. “It's important you attend conferences so you can sharpen your skills and network with people from all across the country.” My next step is to attend conferences. As we're getting back into the community after COVID, in-person conferences are starting up again, but zoom conferences get the job done too. Either way, you should attend these so you can sharpen your skills and network with people from all across the country. This helps you build a referral network outside of your specific geographic location. This is a huge advantage for an agent to have.  Next week, I'll get back to you with steps seven and eight. Until then, if you have any questions about today's topics, don't hesitate to reach out to me. I am always here to help.

This episode evolved from a talk I gave in my fabulous facebook group, Connections, Coffee & Confidence Community, all about networking. It's something many group members had expressed a desire to learn more about and something I find myself getting more involved in after moving to a new province. However, I noticed there are some shifts in perspectives we need to make in order to network more effectively and I cover those in today's episode.Key Points:We need a perspective shift around networking (2:40)Formal Networking (5:10)Less Formal Networking (6:25)Perspective Shift Around Where We Network (7:07)Old School Networking (8:10)What Fits?

In this episode, I have the opportunity to interview fellow 7 Figure Flipping member, Sheri Duignan. Sheri has been involved in real estate investing since 2004, beginning with the rental of her own home when she was called to move across the company for her job. Over the next few years, having experienced both the highs and lows of real estate, she decided to self-educate through reading and attending seminars and then launched her own business. In order to do this, she resigned her District Vice President position after 18 years with this company but is now happily wholesaling and flipping houses full-time. After the almost accidental start in real estate by renting her own home in Atlanta, Sheri talks about the transition from her corporate job into real estate investing. She purchased her next two rentals in North Carolina because she went to school and also had family in the area. She talked about looking for investor-friendly agents to find these properties and how once she found one, he ended up managing her properties for him and built a business out of it. Because Sheri started out as a buy-and-hold investor, I asked her what made her transition into other aspects of investing. When her Atlanta home came vacant after the same tenants for 10 years, she and her husband camped out in the house while they nearly completely rehabbed it to rent again. Sheri really enjoyed the process and ended up taking some classes that convinced her she should be flipping and wholesaling houses in addition to her rental properties. I asked Sheri to share some of the difficulties she has had in her time investing. She talked about how when she first started investing full-time after leaving her corporate job, she was very frustrated and wondered if she had made a big mistake because she was doing so much work and spending a ton on advertising with very little return. Just when she was ready to give up, she ended up closing on two deals, which completely changed her mindset and restored her confidence. Because she shared these struggles with us, I asked Sheri what is working best for her now with lead generation. She said she is still successful with direct mail, but she is finding networking to be very effective. Sheri joined Business Networking International which is a referral company that incentivizes its members to refer to one another in the group. She explained the current deal she is working on that she obtained through this network, and went into detail describing the numbers and the creative financing she was able to utilize. Sheri also explained that her goal was to finance more rentals with the profits she is making from flipping houses to increase her passive income. Here is just another example of an incredibly generous business person who is willing to lay it all out honestly in an effort to help other investors, so don't miss this fantastic episode with Sheri Duignan! Notable Quotes: “Real estate is really my passion and what makes me excited. There are so many facets to it.” Sheri Duignan “I was tired of corporate politics and wanted to work for myself.” Sheri Duignan “You just have to be patient and have some grit.” Sheri Duignan “Thank God for my husband… he was such a great cheerleader and kept telling me to ‘Go, Go, Go!'” Sheri Duignan “You can't let one property define you.” Sheri Duignan “Where I am really finding more success with lead generation is through networking.” Sheri Duignan “Relationships and networking take more time and energy, but in the long run, the return on the investment is astronomical.” Mike Simmons “If you are an entrepreneur, it can't be ‘I can't'... it has to be ‘How can I?'” Mike Simmons “You can go one of two ways when life gets tough - you can quit or you can buckle down and work harder.” Mike Simmons “Don't be bashful about what you are doing. Talk about it.” Mike Simmons “My advice to new investors - Just get started.” Sheri Duignan “Joining 7 Figure Flipping is probably the best thing I have done, out of everything I have done.” Sheri Duignan “I resisted masterminds and coaching for years because I was being pig headed and thought I could just figure it out.” Mike Simmons “I love your ‘I will figure this out and win' attitude!” Mike Simmons Links: Flip Hacking Live Business Network International Real Results Realty LLC Sheri's Email Return on Investments Just Start Real Estate JSRE on Facebook Mike on Facebook Mike on Instagram Mike on LinkedIn Mike on Twitter Level Jumping: How I Grew My Business to Over $1 Million in Profits in 12 Months

If you listened to this episode, CONGRATULATIONS! Because you are probably a goal seeker! And this is truly one of the best things Nat ever did for her business. NETWORK! Yes, that word is not very sexy. But it’s extremely important to grow. So in today’s episode Nat dives deep into the many kinds of networking you can do, how to do it, and what to avoid to succeed in networking. Including some tips on being engaging on Social Media. Because Instagram is also another form of networking. First she chats about BNI, Business Networking International. This was her first taste of Networking. And though terrified every week to stand up and talk, it also forced her to think about her goals in her business, to think on her feet, and to get comfortable with public speaking. It got her out of her comfort zone, and knowing that public speaking didn’t kill her gave her a whole new confidence. Nat lists off a few other types of groups that are similar: Professional Women’s groups Toastmasters Rotary Professional associations in your own field The next type of networking she loved being a part of is a Mastermind. This is levelling up your business. And joining a group of professionals that are a step ahead of you, and are all individuals you have huge respect for. Networking Online is so important these days. You can get out there and engage in many different forms. Facebook groups can be find for every single niche. In fact if you know what your target audience’s interests are, you can head over to Facebook and find a group to join. In our Social Storytellers Membership Facebook Group, we have been told by a number of members this is one of the most valuable parts of the membership. Some members have found accountability partners to help meet their goals. Others have found new prospect customers. And have sold their product and/or services in the group. Nat explains some tips one HOW TO NETWORK. #1 - don’t be a hunter, be a farmer. Support the individuals in the group. Instead of always looking to Get something from the group. Farming is the long game and this is how we connect with other business owners. #2 - show up more often. This creates trust because others will see you as committed to them and to the group. This will also help build your reputation. #3 - give give give. The idea is that if you are giving, the more likely it is that you will also receive. #4 - educate and give advice by helping someone who is a few steps behind you. Be the problem solver, and be the person that shows up in your posts with solutions. #5 - remember that it doesn’t cost any money to network on social media, and truly engage with your followers. Share someones post. Comment with an actual engaged message. DM someone who’s stories has hit home for you. This is all networking.

In this episode of The Real Build, I got the opportunity to talk remodeling with Jason Avery of Avery Construction. Before the Coronavirus, many people were in the process or getting ready to remodel their homes. Now that more people have been stuck in their homes, they are noticing it is time to upgrade and change things. Before you move forward, you need to know what to look for when remodeling your home. So that is why I brought on expert remodel contractor Jason Avery. Jason is the President / CEO of Avery Construction, Designer Cabinets LLC, and Constructing Success. He's a state-certified general contractor that specializes in remodeling kitchens and bathrooms, new room additions, and also does light commercial build-outs throughout the Greater Tampa Bay area. Today, he employs 40 full-time trade professionals, completing more than 4 Million per year in renovations. Jason and I talked about how he has positioned himself to work on his business, instead of in his business. More than 55% of his business comes from referrals. He is also a trainer for both Business Networking International and Asentiv, teaching business owners and managers about networking, referral generation, power teams, and behavioral styles. Jason is the author of the #1 Best Selling book, Constructing Success – Blueprints for a Referral Based Business. He is now using his knowledge and experience to consult and advise general contractors, tradesmen, architects, and interior designers on how to grow their businesses by referral.

Building an empire… to give it all away?! Precisely, with a job outside of your gender role please. We don’t want if it’s too easy #tupac :). The larger order circled one of my fave varsity (literally), Grandview Highschool laxers that I coached about 10 years ago (I know- soul botox!!), back into my world on this one, Maddy Fauth. Maddy is an entrepreneur/ business owner and she brought her good friend and fellow entrepreneur/business owner, Linzy Cassell, with her. We’ll dive into each of their businesses and their journeys into the trades/ service world, but first let’s be clear on what the trades (and services) jobs are: Trades/Services Jobs include (but are not limited to): Roofing, coating Heating, cooling, home services Elevator Installer/Repairer Geological and Petroleum Technician Web Developer Diagnostic Medical Sonographer Electrician You know, what you see the boys do… for the most part. Until now. Maddy and Linzy are two incredible women breaking barriers, not only as entrepreneurs/business owners in general, but in a male dominated space. So that packs a whole other line of experiences with it- not to worry both of these women carry a load of confidence in their work abilities and businesses AND more importantly, in themselves. We chat about why college wasn’t the right choice for them and how they took time early on to learn about what they really want (or listened when they felt out of alignment/universe laid the smack down)… taking that break year after high school just might be a good idea after all, and might save you a few $100k. Outside of money, which empires are in the making, so that’ not the prob, we talk about the value of time and energy… and giving back. We all want to be productive human beings, but what is real impact? Why is it important? Why giving is absolutely receiving in the best, most priceless way. Giving funds, furnaces, and a little something of girls to shoot for as they pick their “dream career”.  My journey into questioning a better way was later in the game than these two, but it’s funny how the world works… Maddy’s Mom was actually one of the first people to bring up “The Law of Attraction” (when the movie came out back in the day:), vibration, and intentional thoughts. Pretty sure she actually gave me all the cd’s to listen to haha, ahh the 2000’s…/I likely still have them. So It is no surprise to me her kiddo is right in line with that thought process and out there on trades front lines with her Dad being a true influencer IRL. AND she is pulling people into her post HS lax, but still varsity world, like Linzy! No doubt all of their parents are proud, as they should be. This is a great cast if you are a kid about to graduate high school, mid college and not sure if it’s for you, college grad and need cash/inspiration, a parent with a kiddo, or anyone questioning a better way in general. Lean in. Highlights: women in trades/services. BNI, Business Networking International. Gender roles, and not having college debt. Following you heart or having the awareness of what your parents did (cuz you’ll likely have similar interest, surprise). Life skills through sports. Alignment and being out of alignment, vibration. Mom and dad. Pro women’s sports. Self-awareness. Reciprocity, give back, and paying it forward. The strong women before us. Entrepreneurs. Being the brand aka yourself. My genuine endorsement is given here, if you need service that their businesses provide- call them. They are the real, honest deal. Maddy Fauth Maddy is co-owner of Great Guys heating and cooling. From health care to cannabis to HVAC, making an impact is the goal. Daughter of two entrepreneurs, building an empire to call hers was destined to happen. Using skills gained from her lacrosse and semi-professional football experience she has built a team that is breaking barriers in the HVAC industry and for women in trades.  Great Guys is family owned and operated and prides itself on giving back to the community and those in need.

Here is an excerpt from his website OpenMikeTalk.com with more backstory:I graduated from the University of Tennessee with visions of doing play-by-play for Tennessee football on radio. I got a chance to go into sports P.R. in college, which led to my first job out of college at the University of Texas.  I did a handful of women's basketball games on radio and TV in 1984 and 1985. But I really did not do anything again until the early 2000s when I hosted NASCAR driver Fan Forums at DAYTONA USA, the motorsports attraction at Daytona International Speedway.  During race weeks, I would interview drivers and others in NASCAR in front of fans. I loved it. Nothing happened until 2016 when I called a friend of mine from Daytona who now lives in Charlotte and we produced about 13 podcasts with NASCAR's historian Buzz McKim.  We had good ideas, unfortunately it never took off, but the bug remained. Through BNI (which is Business Networking International, the world's largest networking organization), I met a bunch of successful small business owners with great stories.  I wanted to do a radio show where I interviewed these successful people because I love asking questions. I went to a couple of the larger radio stations in town to try and get a Saturday or Sunday morning show. I didn't have the money for a time buy, so I kept asking around.  A friend of mine Jim Bowdish, told me to talk to Amnon Nissan. Amnon has hosted his own computer show for years and eventually built out a studio in his own house. Amnon is a producer, I am not. And now we have done over 30 shows and we average 9,000 viewers/listeners a week.Mentioned on the podcast today:Imposter SyndromeForbes articles:New Study Shows Limits of Ad Revenue for PodcastsThe Audio Boom: How Podcasts Are Changing The Game For Marketers

This episode starts when Paul asks Roger to take the lead because “I feel I dominated last week’s conversation.” This leads on to chat about two Words : “Irrepressible” & “unsupressible”. Toastmasters gets a mention and “We need a dictionary” says Roger. _______________ Part 2 [This podcast is not sponsored by Game of Thrones} GAME OF THRONES enters the podcast from left field - and dominates the discussion. “Spoiler alert” warns Roger, as he tells a story about Jon Snow & Daenerys Targaryen. The “Red Wedding” incident was in the book but readers kept silent, and there was a “stunning surprise”. The big question for Paul & Roger is “What did the makers of Game of Thrones do that made it genuinely attractive to so many people?” - so attractive people dropped out of society to watch it.

about what made GoT popular. It’s the Wall that divides the world into the known and the unknown in episode 1. The mystery of the Creatures - everyone wants to know their story. You never know when they might come back and do something terrifying. “Those creatures as antagonists towards humans, not necessarily the bad guys” says Roger. Enter Alfred Hitchcock, introduced by Roger. He describes Hitchcock’s suspense style. There’s passing reference to James Clavell’s novel “Shogun”. Concerning surprising the audience, Roger introduces the “Battle of Kings Landing” in which there is a flip - bad guys and good guys turn round - a memorable visual moment. How did Roger know Jon Snow wouldn’t die? You’ll have to listen to find out - all is revealed.

Hey Profit Nation, I hope you have spent some quality time getting your networking goals together from the last episode. This episode, you are going to put rubber to the road and begin to time block out your schedule. In the episode I walk you through my system for time blocking with colors in my online Google Calendar. We are following the steps from the 29% Solution written by Dr. Ivan Misner, the founder of Business Networking International. I would suggest that you pick up a copy from Amazon (https://amzn.to/2G0aYkj). The book is set up in weeks, however I am accelerating it by recording 3-4 shows per week. Take as much time as it takes you to get through the program or be a BEAST and try and keep up with me.

Networking can be tough if you've no clue what to say, or how to introduce yourself. In this episode, I've broken down the steps I took to create the perfect and memorable self-introduction, suited for that first encounter with a professional. Tune in to the episode now — trust that you'll enjoy it! In this episode, you'll hear about: What you do, condensed What do you offer Features & benefits of that offer Who you're targetting The perfect closing I get asked a lot about how do you introduce yourself when you are networking outside and when you are also meeting people for the first time. It's like an elevator pitch — what do you do and what do you say when you are put in such a situation? This is the episode for you because now we are going to talk about how you can craft the perfect self-introduction So I looked through some statistics online and I found that you have seven seconds to make the first impression and you have to make it the best one for you to be remembered. There are 72% of people saying that their impressions are impacted by how someone appears and their handshake. I also found this quote that I find very apt in this situation about crafting the perfect self-introduction: "No matter how advanced our methods of communication have become, nothing seems to have come close to replicating the value of face to face contact." How powerful is that? When we are so developed into the online space and online world we forget that we have other activities that can be done offline as well and are far more valuable like face to face contact. That's why this is my recommendation for you: spend at least once a week going to offline networking session or gathering or mastermind or programs for you to meet other human beings who are entrepreneurs as well. This will help you build a social connection that is more personal, more real and in the real world. Let's talk about crafting the perfect self-introduction. I was formerly from BNI, I'm not sure if you've heard of it, but it stands for Business Networking International, and I was the president of the chapter in my area. It wasn't easy for me at first, but I figured out that when you are creating a self-introduction you have to be as critical as possible, as concise as possible and as on point as possible. At the same time, you have to form an identity that becomes relatable, memorable, and easy for others to duplicate. In this episode, I will be talking about a templatethat I use to craft up my self-introduction, which I believe will help you as well. This is a lot to take in, so I've created a fun sheet for this episode. Be sure to download the fun sheet so that it can guide you along this episode. What you need to do is to go to fempreneursecrets.com/vault, key in your email address and you'll be granted instant access into the secret vault, download the fun sheet and follow through the episode. Okay, are you ready to get started? Here is the template for success. Step #1: Break Down What You Do in 3-5 Words The first thing that you need to do is to break down what you do in three to five words. "Three to five words, what am I going to say about myself? There are too little words!" Now believe me — when I was given this challenge I was equally as shocked as well, but I figured it out and it was simple. What you need to do is to first start off with your name and then think of like a sexy name for you to call yourself, like what do you identify your service or what you offer with. Like for myself, I introduce myself as, I am Huda, Brand Strategist — so that's three words i.e. Huda, brand, strategist. In just three words, you are pretty much summing up what you do. Of course, you will want people to be intrigued enough to then communicate with you further, but these three words will give you an overview of what you do. So look at your fun sheet right now and write down what are the three to five words that you can identify yourself as, starting with your name. Step #2: Write Down Your Key Offering in One Sentence The second thing to do is to write what is your key offering in one sentence. Writing a key offering is not that simple because you need to first know what is it that you are really offering. Like for my case, I am offering a service that is helping brands clarify their message through videos. This is a trademark of my business and I want people to know that this is exactly what I do, so I sum it up in one sentence. Can you do the same for your business as well? What is your mission or what is it that you really do? And what can your potential clients understand in one sentence? So think about it. You can start off with "I help", then fill in your potential audience and then what exactly you help out with. Think about it that way and see how you can get one sentence to explain your key offering. Step #3: Include the Feature & Benefit of Your Offer The third thing that you need to include in your self-introduction is, what is the feature and benefit of your offering? What will someone gain by working with you or buying your product or engaging your services? What is the benefit that they will get from your business? What are the features of what you are offering? So what's the difference between the two? I tend to get asked this question a lot. FEATURES are what is entailed in your offering, what is entailed in your product, what is entailed in your service. Let's say you are selling a spa, a quality — I don't know, maybe makeup brush — so what is the feature of that? It is spa quality. What is the BENEFIT of using that spa quality makeup brush? The benefit of using it is that you will have smoother skin after the first use. Something like that. That is the feature and benefit of your offering. Basically choose one offering, one feature, one benefit, put it up together and see if you can form two sentences to fit this two. Then, you will get a key offering that is being explained in a very short and successful manner. Step #4: Identify Who Your Offering Is For Number four is to identify who this offering of yours should help. If you are doing the makeup brush thing, it's a spa-quality makeup brush that helps you keep your skin smooth after the first use. It would help women who are struggling with itchiness and also struggling with maybe wrinkles on your skin. So putting (gosh my English! I meant placing) this in your self-introduction really helps. Step #5: Perfectly Close with a Reaffirmation And then finally, what is the perfect closing? The perfect closing is to reaffirm who you are and what you offer. Basically repeating what you have just mentioned in number one, which is I'm Huda, Brand Strategist. It creates a nice closure and helps people remember who you really are. So think about all these five steps and see if you can implement them for your own page and for your self-introduction. For the fun of it, I am going to read out to you what myself introduction is, how long it takes and if it fits all the requirements that I've set for you as a template for you to use. Okay, are you already? I am targeting for it to be completed in 30 seconds or less. If you want to you can time me and are you all ready to hear my introduction? All right, let's go. Hi, my name is Huda and I'm a brand strategist. I help women entrepreneurs create on-goal brand strategies. Hosting a podcast show called Fempreneur Secrets, I empower women entrepreneurs to unleash their business potential. Currently, we are offering a free brand audit worth $200, if you're interested to learn more, speak to me later. This is Huda, Brand Strategist. So that was my speech for the purposes of today's experiment and exercise. That took me about 20 seconds or less. After I've memorized it, it will get a little bit faster for you to share this introduction. You want to make it succeed, short, sweet, straight to the point and it is enough for someone to take two sips of coffee. I've tried this before and I noticed that when you are introducing yourself, especially at networking and there's tea or coffee, people tend to ask, "Hey, what do you do? What's your name? What industry are you in?" Questions along those line — while holding a cup of coffee or a cup of tea. And when they are doing just that, what you need to do is to monitor them, make sure they've already prepared their fingers to hold the cup while they are awaiting your answer. Your challenge is to say your self-introduction before they put it back down. That will be interesting now, wouldn't it?

It may seem like that's the case, but the truth is that it's more important than ever to build a trusting personal relationship. Dr. Misner started BNI in 1985 when he lost one of his bigger consulting client. So he decided to use his own consulting practices in what became the first ever BNI chapters, then known simply as "The Network". "I wasn't able to trademark that name, so I came up with Business Networking International.....before it was international". BNI is now over 8000 chapters worldwide with over 220,000 members passing over 11 BILLION dollars in business to each other.

I'm very excited to welcome Karissa Brennan to the podcast. We met through a mutual contact at BNI. BNI stands for Business Networking International and it is an amazing organization that allows for small business owners to network with each other and build their referral base. You will hear a lot about BNI from me because I'm a big supporter – as is Karissa. You can learn more about them from BNI.com. Karissa is a fellow New Yorker and has a very interesting practice – she works online via video cam, texting and instant messaging. We get to talk about her approach, what platforms she uses and the ups and downs of online counseling. In fact, we had a bit of a problem with the connection – and this interview shows how things do not always go smoothly but you can use the problems to maybe come up with solutions! She has a beautiful story of how she was drawn to online counseling and does a wonderful job of opening up and showing the personal side of a therapist. She has a beautiful “why”.
