With anything worth anything in life, there is an investment. With Business Connections International (BCI), there are two types of investments.
The first type of investment in being a MEMBER of VIP GUEST is of your time. Team Meetings are weekly with a few weeks a year off for holidays. The breaks for holidays are done by way of votes of MEMBERS of a Connection Team.
- The weekly meetings are 90 minutes a week.
- Training a minimum of one time a year
(minimum about 4 hours a year) - Recruitment of team members.
The second type of investment in being a MEMBER of VIP GUEST is a financial investment. Here is the financial investment:
~ Welcome Package (1 time ever): $100.00
~ Yearly Team Fee (Members and VIP Guest) $300.00 / year
~ Team Marketing Fee (Members and VIP Guest) $ 50.00/ year
~ Team Meeting Location Fee (Members and VIP Guest) Set by Team
Prices are subject to change and are reviewed once a year
DISCOUNTS:
While other networking groups charge the same for everyone. They say they “value members”, but don’t put their money where their mouth is. BCI puts its money where its mouth is when it comes to valuing TEAM MEMBERS (Members and VIP GUEST).
The following are the long-term discounts available. The discount only applies to the “Yearly Team Fee”:
Starting at your five-year mark, you are given a 1% discount for every year as a member. Put another way, a five-year member receives a 5% discount, and a ten-year member receives a 10% discount
WHY SO MANY FEES???
When starting with a group, there is an expense so we have the Welcome Package. It comes with a business card book and name badge along with business connection slips.
The Yearly Team Fee pays for support from BCI. This includes but is not limited to your TEAM phone number. Yep, what other group pays for a phone line for your local group? Most expect you to give out your own number and what happens when if that person leaves the group. The number is provided and allows messages to be recorded and then forwarded via EMAIL to the right person within your TEAM. The list can change once a year.
The Team Marketing Fee is made available to the TEAM for marketing the team. While there are approved things the funds can be used for, a TEAM may request to use the funds for other things to promote the BCI team. An example of something already approved is the marketing cost (i.e. postage) for sending recruitment contacts to potential MEMBERS.
