BNI Yankee Networkers

06/20/2025

As many of you know, Kerilee Pelletrino, a long-time member of BNI Yankee Networkers, and dear friend to many of us, learned in April that her son Josh was diagnosed with cancer.
Josh is 13 years old and according to Kerilee, in very good spirits, despite his diagnosis. The emotional, physical, and financial toll this has on a family is unimaginable. Kerilee and her family had gone through this already with their son Drew, many years ago, and the odds of this happening again, to another child, is slim to none. As a community, we have an obligation to help and support our friend in need.

Please join us!

In every BNI chapter, we have contact spheres, which are people who serve the same clients you do but are NOT . A referral from inside that sphere can be more valuable than a to a single prospect over time. Once the working relationship develops, that person can introduce you to many qualified prospects.

Listen to this podcast where Dr. Ivan Misner talks about referrals within your contact sphere.

Referrals to prospects are great--but referrals to referral sources can be even more valuable in the long run. Tiffanie Kellog joins Dr. Misner to talk about contact spheres in BNI.
