1. BNI News in London South East Region
A golden year
Mon 26 July 2010
It's hard to believe that in July last year John hadn't heard of BNI: 9 months later
he joined BNI's prestigious Gold Club and has been helping 2 new chapters to
grow over the past 3 months.
John is John Coupland, alias: @networkerplus. If you haven't yet heard of him,
you're either new to networking or allergic to social media! John was earlier
recognised as a Notable Networker for his commitment to his fellow members in
the region. John has also significantly raised BNI's profile, particularly
on Linkedin, where he founded 2 London groups which between them attracted
400 members in just 6 months.
In response to the "Why & how?"? question, John answered, "Why wouldn't you
join a the world's no 1 referral organisation with a business model that's been
proven for 25 years? BNI's a core part of my business strategy as a Utility
Warehouse executive: it has to be - I invested in it. As for the "How?" The clue's in
the word networking!
John's first new chapter, Crofton in Orpington will be launching very soon, with
his second, Endeavour in Bromley, not far behind.
