Swedish Globetrotter Visits Chapters and Gets Business
Bjørn Aadnøy, the Chapter Director of BNI Stenungsund (north of Gothenburg), was on a business trip to Canada. Of course, he wanted to visit some BNI chapters there and was very well received. He got in touch with Derek Podorieszach, Regional Director of Quebec and Montreal, who arranged visits at two different but equally nice chapters. The first one, the "West Island Team" was said to be the biggest BNI chapter in the world with 67 members! The other chapter ("b-2-b Connections") was much smaller, but had many visitors and lots of business was being established.
Bjørn is a writer, specializing in doing company reports for papers and the web.
He tells us that during his 60-second presentation he asked for Canadian companies with subsidiaries in Sweden and got lots of referral slips.
Of course Bjørn had lots of fun memories to share with his chapter members when he came home.
The next trip for Bjørn was to Cape Town, South Africa, where Bjørn also established valuable friendships and business opportunities. Bjørn emphasized that it's a great advantage to belong to an international organization like BNI.
