That was just seven months ago but already Shaun knows he made the right decision. I recouped my membership fees with the very first referral I received, and since then I ve gained around half a dozen further clients through my chapter colleagues. I was initially very sceptical but I m pleased my client was so insistent I should give it a try. It s a case of 10 out of 10 for Gade Valley s Julie Mole, who has just signed up her 10th new member to the Hemel Hempstead chapter in as many months! No surprise then to discover that she was awarded her black badge barely two months after the chapter s launch last summer.
How does she do it? When I meet a new business contact I explain about the virtues of BNI, tell them how successful it has been for Reedlink, and how it has helped my own selfdevelopment. I am largely office based, but I deal with people from every type of trade and profession and, having been in sales for most of my life, I find it very easy and natural to talk to others about something as positive as BNI.
Since our chapter was launched less than 18 months ago, I ve brought around 18 visitors, so I guess my conversion rate is pretty good. But BNI takes the credit for that, not me. I always make it clear to my visitors what will be expected of them if they join from bringing their own visitors to finding good referrals for colleagues but when they ve witnessed one or two meetings and seen the benefits of membership, most of them are keen to join.
Julie has attended every BNI training workshop at least twice and says they have enhanced the skills she uses in everyday life, as well as in her chapter. BNI membership represents phenomenal value. It has led to my meeting some fantastic people, many of whom have become close friends, as well as bringing me plenty of business. In my first 12 months, Reedlink has received referrals resulting in over 35, of orders. Contact Julie Mole on. Instead, it almost made him bankrupt. Fortunately he also made two much better decisions. This year, having adopted the BNI system and followed Gerber s philosophy that to be truly successful you have to work on the business, rather than in the business, Chris Owen has a fast-growing property portfolio worth over 2.
I am deeply indebted to BNI for my own success, and believe this will be an awesome day. The event is likely to sell out quickly, so if you want to be among the fortunate delegates, call the special BNI ticket line on Tickets will be allocated on a first-come-first-serve basis. In the future, relationships will be the cornerstone to building stronger foundations for every business. In BNI, our core referrals philosophy is centred on building mutually beneficial relationships to develop a strong contact network a process that takes time, commitment and a little energy!
BNI Directors are often asked: What is the secret to keeping a chapter buoyant and successful? The answer is that while there are many factors that keep chapters on the success trail, in BNI s Staffordshire and Shropshire region at least, we believe that the key to any chapter s ongoing success is its people. Finding the right members has to be one of the most important keys in building and growing chapters. It is no myth that like-minded people attract each other, and that attitude is everything.
Enthusiasm is infectious and makes others curious about who we are and what we do. Because it radiates positivity, others will want to support and help those that act in this way.
Equally, by making us happier, it helps us attract more of what we desire in terms of our goals and aspirations. And of course, it is fundamental to the Givers Gain philosophy to share enthusiasm about someone else s business. When chapters have like-minded enthusiastic members displaying a positive attitude, the chapter will naturally attract more members, and foster the development of magnetic relationships.
These chapters can expect to see more oneto-one meetings, higher referral rates, and tangible displays of mutually supportive behaviour, resulting in higher energy meetings. This makes them more dynamic with a real synergy and a good balance of fun and professionalism, fostering a proactive chapter keen to grow its membership and get more business for each other. While larger chapters will often create maximum synergy between members, smaller groups can be equally vibrant, when members look forward to and plan for their next meeting, ensuring that substitution is minimal, the chapter leader recognition slot is a highlight of the month, and the minute speaker brings the thoughtful gift that makes them an even more exceptional member.
In such dynamic chapters, renewing members do not question the benefits of membership, which continue to grow from what we call the committed core. Meanwhile, enthusiasm and positivity should become your group s culture. If someone leaves, replacing that person with an equally or even higher calibre member will result in a more balanced chapter. Bringing in new members who want to see others become successful, will only breed success.
So, if you want your chapters to be vibrant, attractive and enthusiastic, start and finish with the right people, because it really is the people that matter, and members who make all the difference! Allison can be contacted on. I found that advertising was expensive and did not work very well, so I turned to more direct contact with potential customers, taking a stall in a local shopping mall and attending craft fairs - but I knew the Back in late , Michelle Douglas answer lay in networking and word-ofmouth referrals, she said.
She liked what she Around Christmas time in I saw but it took her until January this year to join the town s Blackwell Chapter. Because her jewellery design and production business was barely into profits, and she knew the joining fees could buy her vital money-making stock! And of course, there were doubts about whether she was really geared up for any significant increase in business.
Happily, her long wait has now paid dividends and, was invited to a BNI meeting by a businesswoman I d met through another networking group, and I immediately liked what I saw. Unfortunately my business wasn t producing enough surplus at that time for me to risk spending even a modest sum on membership, so I decided to budget with the aim of joining as soon as possible.
It took Michelle two more years before after just a few months membership, she felt confident to submit her Michelle has more than recouped her initial outlay. It is early days, but I d recouped my outlay within three months and I ve already found the benefits of membership extend beyond simply receiving new business referrals. For instance, through my BNI contacts, I m now teaching jewellery design to young people at a local authority-funded centre, while I m also invited to many more events where I can promote my products, she added: Since joining BNI, I haven t looked back.
I have a lot more orders and I m developing new business relationships all the time. It is the ideal networking structure for me. Contact Michelle at her studio on or visit her website at: Close collaboration between colleagues in south Bristol s Heyhoe Chapter, is resulting in some impressive media coverage for members of the month old group. And close on their heels is Heyhoe s wedding and events planner, Amber Hunter who is set to go one better by starring in a new TV reality programme that follows her and one of her client brides-to-be through the sometimes stressful process of planning and staging the perfect wedding.
The Discovery Channel production will be shown early next year.

However, despite their combined expertise, the launch nearly didn t happen. With over guests including many BNI members awaiting their VIP s arrival, news came through that Liam Fox was stuck in a motorway jam and wouldn t make it! Fortunately, as a local councillor, Philip Fowles had Liam s carphone number and persuaded him to persevere through the traffic even if he arrived late.
Amber went into overdrive in the kitchen as the event was turned on its head with lunch brought forward to give the MP extra time to arrive. Happily, Amber s own business slogan We turn a memorable event into an unforgettable one came true, with the elevated level of press interest leading to substantially increased trade for Paul and Alice s garage business. Meanwhile Amber pictured below is hoping her imminent TV role will boost the wedding planning side of her business. In just eight months, BNI has proved very good for me with events referrals, but I really enjoy the wedding side and hope the publicity will bring me some more brides-to-be.
Liverpool Premier Chapter member Business Marketing Limited is enjoying a healthy boom in business, thanks to gaining a lucrative ,plus contract from a BNI colleague s referral. BML has been a Premier member for three years, and won various smaller pieces of business through chapter referrals, but the six-figure contract with private healthcare company Direct Health which recently opened a new clinic and regional office in the city, is by far its best networking achievement so far. Managing Director Ray Leary says his company's success is all due to the power of the BNI referral system and its networking structure.
This particular referral from a chapter colleague, Humphrey Claxton, quickly led to a meeting with the client. The resulting contract, covering all aspects of marketing support, has enabled us to take on additional staff and move to larger premises. We ve even been able to put our new client in touch with BNI chapters in London whose members may be able to gain similar business from them. Since appointing them earlier this year we have received very positive input, with valuable advice and planning.
We would already recommend them to any company looking for a committed, focused and driven marketing team. We work closely with BNI colleagues and always try to incorporate their services into our clients projects, promoting the ethos of Givers Gain. Many BNI groups get off to a flying start, but few can have notched up so many referrals so quickly as the six month old Tudor Chapter in Hampton Hill, Middlesex, where incoming Chapter Director Don Lynch has been setting exacting standards.
Tudor s notable networker says listening is the key. I always listen and find out what people need, then try to help them, said Don. Friends, clients and workmates are aware that I know many people, so they tend to ask me for recommendations. I get calls from complete strangers saying they ve heard I might know someone who can help them even if it doesn t benefit my business! Don is equally delighted that other chapter members are enjoying similar success like independent financial adviser Dave Tilley and mortgage adviser Ian Green, who set up their businesses last year.
The two men met as Tudor core group members late last year and quickly started exchanging referrals. By the time the chapter launched in April, Ian had moved into Dave s offices and both promptly doubled their referral rate, boosting income. We now offer a more comprehensive service and our alliance has enabled our chapter colleagues to increase the number of referrals we receive.
Some IFAs avoid referring business to mortgage brokers, but the alliance with Ian has streamlined what we can offer, and working from the same office has led to more business for us both. Ian left and Dave now pass twice as many referrals. Paul Hollamby left with Spitfire Chapter Director Ian Walker Spitfire members enjoy life in the fast lane Members of a North Staffordshire chapter found themselves in the fast lane when they abandoned their usual meeting venue to sample breakfast networking in a fleet of brand new cars.
Instead of sitting down to coffee and croissants in the meeting room of Newcastle-under-Lyne s Stop Inn, members of Potteries Spitfire Chapter enthusiastically jumped into the cars provided by colleague Paul Hollamby, from the Holdcroft Honda dealership, and networked in small clusters. After a few minutes in each car they rotated to ensure they liaised with everyone in the strong group. It was my turn to give a minute presentation, and I wanted to do something a bit different by showing members the latest range of vehicles we have on offer.
It seemed the best way to do this was to bring our different cars to the meeting so everyone could see what I was talking about. When I suggested we could hold the entire breakfast meeting in the cars, most people were delighted to sit in shiny new vehicles, rather than our usual room. Chapter Director Ian Walker said: We have always adhered strictly to BNI s meeting agenda, but I allowed our group to take a different approach for one week only, since Paul s request was so unusual. It was a great idea because we still managed to conduct a successful meeting and pass good referrals, while allowing him to showcase his cars.
Members responded well to the novel circumstances and thankfully, nobody spilt their coffee or left toast crumbs on the car seats. We know that members who use visual props for their presentations generate more business because colleagues find it easier to relate to their products and services. It also makes it easier to identify referral opportunities. Contact Paul Hollamby on If a picture is worth a thousand words, then Barbican Chapter in the City of London has an abundance of riches thanks to a new promotional video made by three members of its leadership team.
Wanting to raise the chapter s profile, members decided to use the skills within the group an obvious choice given that Secretary-Treasurer Julian Grant makes corporate videos, Chapter Director Eamonn Collins markets Internet video software, and Membership Co-ordinator John Aylott is a website design and communications specialist. The result is a six-minute video extolling the virtues of BNI, featuring several of Barbican s own members talking about membership benefits.
We show the film as part of our visitors days, and guests have said it adds a great deal to their initial impressions, said Eamonn. Using online testimonials from members has also helped our recruitment drive. You can view Barbican s video at: BNI members doing battle during South Yorkshire s karting event.
Eight teams comprising members from the Professionals, Steel City, Sheffield Soaraways, Doncaster Diamonds and Rotherham Phoenix chapters, fought a fiercely contested race, with the final glory going to Steel City s B team as overall winners , and David Rist, an IFA in the Professionals chapter winning the award for the fastest lap not just for the event, but in the history of the venue!

Chapter Director Jane Phillips said: While the chatter of networking was drowned out by the noise of engines, our post-race meal provided plenty of opportunity for making new contacts and developing old ones. The walk raised nearly 40, for the hospital s paediatric intensive care unit in Paddington, where all its children are critically ill and in need of life support, and Lorraine s personal efforts thanks to generous sponsorship from on her racing car are now the fastest in Britain.
With Sarah racing at her Corby Chapter s local circuit - Rockingham - last month, Andy Mackenzie, the Chapter Director of Corby BNI saw this as a great opportunity to get some local exposure, not least because as the only woman competing in the championship, Sarah naturally gets a lot of media attention! The whole Chapter agreed and, together with Duncan Webster, the Executive Director for the Northampton and Leicester Region, sponsored their girl racer for the Rockingham event.
Corby Chapter is a really dynamic and pro-active group, and it was great to get everyone s support and be able to promote BNI on my race car.

Hopefully, nobody did investigate into our Background and found out that our Dad has been a Drogendealer.
This would not be very cool. Nevertheless, we forget about these too stylish men with their Handys. Since we had nothing for breakfast, we go to the Coffeeshop around the corner and buy a Donut and a Muffin. After these too many calories, we start to regret our lack of restraint and self-control.
After all, we have a Blinddate for Dinner with a Gentleman we met in the Chatroom when we were online and actually in search of Songs to download them to our Computer. So, to shape our Body , we go to the gym, where we take an Aerobic class and use the Stepper to look sexy in the new Outfit, tight Shorts and a T-Shirt , we bought on our Shopping-Tour. In the evening, we meet in the hip Bar where the Drinks are so delicious and high-proof.
The guy is quite okay and after having eaten a few Crackers together, we rent a room, because we are lured by his Aftershave. Unfortunately, this is our Ticket to hell, because after skipping Petting , he does also skip Sex and prefers sleeping: No, sorry , but this night needs no Feedback , and so we rush out of the Hotelsuite hoping not to be seen by our Boss who stays occasionally at the same Location with his Lover. This Story is also too embarrassing to tell it to our best friend.
At least, now we know that the next time we will go to a Party with people we know instead of experiencing a new Lifestyle that does not satisfy us at all. As seen in this example, we are confronted with English expressions in almost every situation, and it is thus as good as impossible to avoid anglicisms, what we are going to show in the following.
In our term paper Was ich lieb: Standard Battlephrasen und Anglizismen [1] - English influence on German , we will concentrate on the influence of English on German, on the question why we tend to use anglicisms and which problems might occur when using them. Furthermore, we will focus on the classification of the borrowing and finally raise the subject of the negative reactions to anglicisms.
A few remarks at the beginning: Since one can hardly distinguish Americanisms from Briticisms — British English is strongly influenced by American English —, we will use the expression anglicism for all the different varieties in this term paper. Another point is that we will neither discuss adaptations of anglicisms concerning phonology, form and morphology, nor will we mention the word formation and the semantic of anglicisms, because this would have been too much for this short term paper.
The more isolated a speech community is the more probable it is that its language will develop independently. However, due to the medium of television, video, radio and internet [4] being spread via satellite transmission, industrialized countries are rather likely to adopt expressions of other languages, so-called borrowings or loanwords [5]. One of the main sources of borrowing is the English language.
Such a foreign word or loanword is called anglicism and is a word, phrase or element borrowed from English into another language. One can state that English has been increasing all over the world. It is especially because of the 18th century, when Britain was the biggest colonial power in the world, that many of the ancient British colonies still have English as official or semi-official language nowadays.
The German language has always been influenced by other languages, most strongly by Latin and French. The European Central Bank even made English to their main language at work. This shows that it is difficult to pursue an international career without speaking and understanding English. Thus, it seems as if Germans are on their way to become like the Dutch, the Scandinavian, and the Swiss, where English is the second language, so that a growing number of their citizens is now bilingual. Boot from boat and politics e. Before that, English expressions were merely known from philosophical, political and economical specialist literature.
Reasons for this increase were, among other things, the Industrial Revolution and first signs of the democratization in Germany. When in the thirties of the 20th century sports came into fashion, plenty of English expressions were used in German, like Derby , dribbeln , Foul , Jockey , Match , starten and many more.
From the beginning of the sixties, there is a significant increase in anglicisms in German that did eventually rise in the nineties. The reasons for this are the economical, technological, military and cultural supremacy of the United States and of the Anglo-Saxon speech area. The phenomenon of English expressions in German manifests itself particularly in the fields of media, entertainment and leisure e.
Radar, Transistor, Microchip , economy and politics e. Boom, Marketing, Trend , in the information technology e. Computer , the service industries e. Leasing and in the area of personal hygiene, clothing, food and living e. Makeup, Fashion, Blazer, Ketchup, Swimmingpool. Consequently, anglicisms appear especially in sectors where technical innovations are or have been made. Also, the development since the Second World War has led to the dominance of English as undisputed lingua franca and to the expansion of its very prestige and influence.
It is true that until the seventies French still had a worldwide high prestige and until the twenties also German. However, concerning German the loss of its status as a donor language happened gradually due to the First World War, the Nazi regime and the fact that Germany was the trigger for the outbreak of two world wars. Additionally, in the first half of the twentieth century, people adopted another attitude towards their own language, so that they did no longer take great pride in German.
The result was that there was an enormous readiness for the usage of English expressions in the media and in public areas. Today, it is especially the increasing use of computers at work, as well as the private use of PCs and the internet during the last years that the English language could spread rather rapidly to such an extent, because more than half of the websites are still written in English. This will be discussed in the following.

The only thing that counts then is the sound of English expressions and the association with the Anglo-American culture.
In the following, we will concentrate on some internal linguistic and on some extralinguistic factors.
