During Monday’s live YouTube event, Graham shared how BNI is starting to enter a normalization phase. It has been a long road, but he is confident that BNI’s recovery to surge is on its way. He talked about teams and the positivity of diversity and how important it is to work together. The more diverse teams and services are the more it will give BNI the ability to be more creative.

Dr. Misner describes the online platform as the “new normal”.

Dr. Misner states how powerful referrals are and that it is the engine that drives business. The power of referrals won’t change. The only thing that could change is how referrals are made, he is a firm believer of being resilient, embracing change, and embracing technology to continue to be successful.
