We want to hear from you! SuccessNet Online needs your input. SuccessNet is truly YOUR newsletter. We ask you to consider the following tips when preparing your submission for SuccessNet:

Writing style should be clear and concise. Keep your sentences short and give us details. Be specific.
Use the inverted pyramid format, with your information leading us to the point, rather than giving all the details up front.
Use dialog in your submission: John said, "BNI made a huge difference in my business."
Be sure to include your name, chapter name and business name. When applicable, list your web address and we'll insert a hyperlink to direct readers to your website.
If appropriate, give us dollar values for your chapter brags and testimonials.
We would like digital photos of your chapter or regional events! As you can see from this first issue, we are able to have many more local-flavor articles and reviews. With your photos, include a brief description of the event, who's in the photo, and the name and city of your chapter.
Please also include your web address with your submission, so we can direct our readers to your site.
Please send your submissions to newsletter@bni.com

The types of submissions we are seeking are for Chapter Brags, Memory Hooks, BNI Happenings (your regional news), any other special announcements, success stories, or things your chapter has tried that have been successful.

Thank you!
