BNI in South Africa is proud to announce that for the third consecutive year we are hosting the International Networking Week Events in many centres all over the country.

Created in Australia by Geoff Kirkwood the then National Director of Australia and who presided over last year’s functions around South Africa, International Networking Week/Day is designed to celebrate networking and incorporate all networking groups simply to generate more business for all.

Founder of BNI Dr Ivan R. Misner says “International Networking Week is an initiative of BNI.  However, it is absolutely open to many other networking groups around the world.  BNI would like to work in partnership with other networking organizations to celebrate and recognize this program globally.

Since our first ever International Networking Week Four years ago, we have had many organizations and even governmental agencies such as the U.S. Congress recognize International Networking Week as an annual program to be recognized around the world.”
He also says” During the last recession, I watched thousands of business people grow and prosper.  They were successful because they consciously made the decision to refuse to participate in the recession.  They did so by developing their networking skills and learning how to build their business through word of mouth.

You can do the same during a slow economy by:
Diversifying your networks you need breadth and depth.  Participate in different kinds of groups.
Don't be a "cave-dweller".  Be visible, put yourself in play, get out and meet people at business events.
