Your BNI Speaker Presentation

MSP (Member Success Program) Training is a required prerequisite to presenting your business to the chapter. If you have not yet completed MSP training, please notify Gerry Rucker immediately to delay your presentation date until such time that you have met this requirement.

On the right side of the screen you will find the Member Biography Sheet. Please complete it and bring it with you on the day of your presentation so that you can be properly introduced to the chapter.

If you decide to do a power point presentation, please do the following:

1.
Contact Jim O'Shea in advance to ask him to borrow his projector.
2.
Contact Melissa Biggins, Chapter President at least 48 hours prior to your presentation so that  
she can inform the hotel that we will need an AV Cart and Power Strip.

You have 7 minutes to present your business to the chapter. Great presentations in the past have included information such as who specifically makes a good referral for you, what things set your business apart from other businesses in the industry, your background and education. Also, it can be a powerful tool to incorporate some testimonials or stories about people you have helped in your presentation. Please feel free to reach out to the chapter mentor (Dino Tudisca) if you would like assistance with your presentation.

If you wish, you can time your presentation to allow a couple of minutes for questions and answers at the end. Please be sure to build that in if you would like. If your presentation will include extensive props or setup, please notify Melissa Biggins so that the proper coordination can be put in place for transition from one presentation to another.

Please keep in mind that the content of your presentation should be confined to your primary BNI business category to avoid confusion and overlap. While we realize and recognize that you many of you may have other business interests, your membership is specific to one category that is exclusively yours and should be the only business you promote within the confines of BNI.

Please notify Gerry Rucker immediately if you should have a conflict with your presentation date. And most of all, relax and have fun with it!
