BNI is a business and professional networking organization that allows only one person per profession to join a chapter. Last year, BNI members passed thousands of referrals which generated millions of dollars worth of business for each other!
The mission of BNI is to help members increase their business through a structured, positive, and professional "word-of-mouth" program that enables them to develop long-term, meaningful relationships with quality business professionals.
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. By establishing this "formal" relationship with other people, you will have the opportunity to substantially increase your business.
Belonging to BNI is like having dozens of sales people working for you because all 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.
* Some professions, specifically attorneys and certain health care professionals, may not be permitted to seek direct referrals through in person solicitation through the use of business cards pursuant to their ethical code. Members of BNI that belong to these professions are directed to follow their profession’s own ethical guidelines.
Would you like to increase your business by 20%, 30%, 50% or as much as 100%? You can see results like this! Many 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.
The philosophy of BNI is built upon the idea of Givers Gain. By giving business to others, you will get business in return. This is predicated on the age-old idea of "what goes around, comes around".
