BNI Elevate is a networking community organized to help our members make more money through structured collaboration and referrals.
In recent years, we found out that we were sitting on a gold mine here at Elevate,
And we’ve discussed that modern gold mining requires sifting 2000 pounds of dirt to get a few grams of gold, but if you did that hour after hour; day after day; you could make millions.
We also discussed that you can’t just stare at the dirt and hope gold ends up in your pocket.
However, at our last Elevator Accelerator, I had a conversation with Peter Dressel and it turned out that sometimes gold just jumps in his packet without much effort.
So how did he make that happen?
It turns out that Peter doesn’t have to spend a lot of time doing hard mining.
Peter did a little work to set up his mine and then he gives it a little bit of love and attention on a weekly basis and gold just jumps into his pocket.
And it manifests itself in the real world in his relationship with me.
Peter doesn’t need to do 121s with me or any other networking.
He set up his mine by building a good relationship with me, one of his top referral partners.
And now he just needs to do good work when I hire him to photograph my architects and general contractors projects.
And then the referrals just keep happening with no additional effort from Peter.
So do you like the idea of no effort gold mining and easy referrals?
Well there’s a strategy for setting up your mine to produce this easy gold and you to be totally selfish about this.
And if you’re totally selfish, you will actually meet the chapter’s core value of ‘Giver’s Gain.’
So pay attention and get ready to implement this month.
Take a look at our roster, note each of your top referral professions, and you might see that your top three referral professions are already members.
In this case Peter would have circled me.
Now look at the roster again.
Who’s missing?
What is your top referral profession that is not currently on the roster?
Again, that’s your top referral profession that’s NOT yet on the roster.
Previously we said that maybe your top three referral professions might already be in the chapter, so you now need to figure out who your fourth best referral partner is.
I spent 60 minutes discussing the tactics of this at the last Elevator Accelerator, so if you want to make easy money at elevate, your action item this week is to check your email right now for the link to that video of that training session.
If you follow through on watching that video and implementing these easy tactics, I guarantee that you will definitely make more easy money!
