That was my biggest concern as well, and they're sticky on it too. At the meeting I went to, one member was apologising for not being able to attend the next meeting. You should have seen the look she got, and back came the question "why not?"
I'm kinda past that sort of thing.
It was a printer that told you that, of course
Just heard too many pitches over the years, I guess.
Truth is every business, big or small, needs printers - so there's every chance of there being good business there, Ian.
My problem is the nature of my niche target markets. As a result, the "only one member per industry per chapter" actually works against me.
Anyway - I raised BNI not to air my reservations, but because I like the basic format of the meeting and strategy for keeping costs right down.
(For the record, overall I think BNI is a pretty good concept).
