Why EVERY BNI Member Should Be A Visitor Host | Jo Finnerty | BNI Education Slots

In this inspiring talk, Jo Finnerty shares her personal journey into networking, her first experiences with BNI, and why visitor hosting is everyone’s responsibility. She explains that it is not just the official visitor host team who are responsible for making guests feel at home. Every member has the power to turn a visitor’s first impression into a lasting connection. https://bnieducationslots.com/why-eve... Jo is a highly experienced recruiter and business leader who has spent more than a decade building relationships across the North West. With over 14 years of involvement in BNI, she has seen first-hand how the culture of openness, support and collaboration transforms chapters and members alike. Her career in recruitment taught her the value of connections and introductions, but it was within BNI that she discovered the true power of being welcomed and supported from the very first moment you enter the room. Through her story, Jo contrasts the difference between traditional networking groups - where cliques and closed circles can leave newcomers isolated - and the BNI approach, where every member takes responsibility for making visitors feel welcome, included and valued. Her words are a reminder that visitor hosting is not a role limited to a few people wearing badges. It is a mindset and a culture that every member must adopt. 📌 In this video, Jo shares: ✅ What her early networking experiences were like and why they often fell short. ✅ The moment she was first introduced to BNI. ✅ How the visitor host team made her feel valued, welcomed, and supported. ✅ Why every member should embrace the role of visitor host. ✅ How first impressions can determine whether a visitor applies to join on the spot. ⏱ Chapters 0:00 – Introduction 0:22 – Jo’s early networking experiences 1:00 – Feeling shut out by closed groups 1:47 – First invitation to BNI 2:09 – Welcomed by the visitor host team 2:40 – The importance of introductions and connections 3:18 – Feeling valued and “loved” 3:38 – Meeting every member of the chapter 4:14 – Applying to join on the spot 4:38 – The president’s key message 4:59 – Why every member is a visitor host BNI is built on relationships, and Jo’s story shows how much of an impact a simple welcome can have.
