Business networking groups, like BNI are an effective way of getting more business. By giving away referrals and business you get business also. Since you need to be able to trust someone before you can refer them, you need to meet with members of your group a lot, something that can take quite some time and needs you to take action, either by email or before or after the weekly meeting.

I like to automate things, so I just released 121er.com. It’s a free service that allows group administrators to import their group members and then all the members get weekly emails who they should meet. It’s all random, but the service remembers who you’ve met, so you’ll be able to meet everyone first, before the next round through the group.
