Sorry, but not my kind of folks, was real easy to pick up on that. I could go into all the advise & selling people tried to give before I heard the speech of writing each other reviews on google maps & other web listings. I still remember the poor plumber who seemed liked a nice guy but looked scared of everyone as if he took the blood oath & couldn't leave. I even got the conversion to rotary cleaning speech for faster & easier money by someone who claims to have done it. The ethic thing was lacking. As far as my client, her husband called me yesterday and apologized & I told him why I left and he just laughed. Their stock seems to be in that group with their Shaklee thing. So I finally checked out this BNI thing after all these years and walked out because I was "ignorant". My success is founded on my own standards & the help of many like minded in the industry along the way. If I don't like you I won't do business with you & the same goes for them. There is no way I'm sucking up to get business & unfortunatley that is probably the norm for most business people. I'm sure there maybe a BNI out there somewhere with like minded people like me but there is no way I'll go through that uncomfortable situation again.
