HOW CAN I JOIN?
About BNI

Word-of-Mouth Networking is the most cost-effective form of advertising possible. Business Network International (BNI) provides a structured and supportive system of giving and receiving business. It does so by providing an environment in which you develop personal relationships with dozens of other qualified business professionals. This gives you the opportunity to substantially increase your business.

BNI was started in 1985 by Ivan R. Misner. Today, BNI has over 1,300 chapters, all with the same primary objective, the passing of quality referrals to fellow members. Last year, members of BNI passed thousands of referrals which generated millions of dollars worth of business for each other! BNI is a business and professional networking organization that allows only one person per profession to join a chapter.

Belonging to BNI is like having dozens of sales people working for you. All of the other members carry several copies of your business cards around with them. When they meet someone new who could use your products or service, they hand your card out and recommend your services. It's as simple as that! It's simple because it's based on the proven concept of what goes around, comes around. If I help you, you'll help me and we will both benefit as a result.

Would you like to increase your business by 20%, 30%, 50% or even as much as 100%?
You can see results like this! Many members already have. Some participants have added as many as 50 new clients in the first 2 years!!! Successful businesses depend on word of mouth. Word-of-mouth advertising is the best advertising there is.

We meet weekly for 90 minutes. The purpose of meeting weekly is that it's impossible to refer business to someone you don't know. The only way we can gain confidence and build trust with our fellow members is to spend this time together every week, to become better educated on what we all do, and to learn what a good referral is to each of us. We also encourage our members to meet outside of this forum, creating another opportunity to get to know one another a little better.

 

“BNI provides the opportunity to build trust among professionals of all industries. With that trust, quality and commitment, we help each other grow our businesses.”
