Week 46 (August 11 – August 17, 2025)

Introduction

“Good morning, everyone! Today, we’re going to talk about one of the most important yet often overlooked keys to success in networking—consistency. In BNI, consistency is essential for building trust, generating referrals, and maintaining strong relationships. Let’s discuss how staying consistent in our actions can lead to long-term success.”

Body

“Here are three ways consistency can enhance your networking efforts and drive success:

1. Attend meetings regularly – Showing up consistently at Chapter meetings demonstrates your commitment to the group. The more present you are, the more top-of-mind you stay with other Members when referral opportunities arise.

2. Be consistent in your asks – When you consistently ask for the same type of referral or specific introduction, it becomes easier for Members to know exactly what to look for when thinking of you. Repetition creates clarity and makes it more likely that you’ll receive referrals.

3. Follow through on commitments – Whether it’s following up on a referral or keeping your word after a One-to-One, being consistent in your follow-through builds trust and strengthens relationships. People trust those who do what they say, consistently.”

Example

“Consider a Member who regularly attends meetings, participates in One-to-Ones, and consistently asks for introductions to local business owners. Over time, that consistency makes it easier for the Chapter to identify and refer the right connections, ultimately resulting in more referrals and growth.”

Conclusion

“Consistency is the foundation of successful networking. By attending meetings regularly, being clear and consistent with your asks, and following through on commitments, we can build stronger relationships and create more referral opportunities. Let’s all focus on being more consistent in our actions and watch our success grow!”
