Meeting at the BNI

I have assisted to a meeting of the BNI in San Jose with my manager, Jerome Sierra which is part of the organization. For those whom don't know what is the BNI (like me a couple of days ago), it stands for Business Networking International. It is composed by different local chapters. Those chapters are composed by people of different jobs, a real estate, a tax consultant, a house cleaning company and/ or a wedding organizor for example. The goal is that each of them give referrals, and then, become the "salesmen" of the other members. It is a very interresting concept, and it seems to work pretty good. Everything, how the meetings are thought and manage, how people have to interact, has been thought to build efficient networking. I advise you to log onto http://www.bni.com/, to know more about the organization.
