Make it happen now
The BNI podcast is the fastest way to gain information on how to grow your business.For those who do not have the time to read like Joe Coyle, you can catch up with the pace and race of marketing you and your business in a New York Minute. I believe this is just the start of what will be one of the most valuable podcast. BNI not only will help your business, it will help you grow in your business.
It's About Time
Full of important info and not overly long... just what the Dr. (Misner) ordered. Well done!
Great addition to the BNI culture
As BNI training changes its education focus to newer things, this podcast is helping BNI members to remember how to 'stick to the basics'. Looking forward to listening to future episodes! Thanks to Frank and Dr. Misner! Brian Springfield Business Forum Member BNI veteran
