Business Network International (BNI)
What is your company's current marketing strategy? Do you have a business plan? Have you written out a strategy for going out and finding new business, and if so, is it working for you?
Welcome to BNI. The referral group you've heard about, but haven't taken the time to look into. BNI is a referral organization that helps you gain qualified referrals for your business. Have you ever considered cold calling? We hope not—cold calling ranks among the least effective business strategies available.
BNI stands for "Business Network International," because there are hundreds of chapters all over the world, all following the same successful model.
You've probably heard that "word of mouth" is the most powerful form of marketing… and you've heard right. The most effective way to sell your goods and services is by having other people you know sell them for you.
It's called "Business By Referral." You've may have heard of it, you've probably wondered about it, and you've definitely been missing out! BNI® (Business Network International) is the WORLD'S LARGEST business referral organization. There are local chapters for you to join all over the USA, and when you become a member of BNI®, you lock out your competition by being the only person in your chapter that is in your profession.
If you're serious about growing your business in an increasingly-tough economy, you've found the right organization to help you. Let BNI help you find a structured way to go after the business you need.
Here's all we ask of you: show up at one meeting and decide for yourself if it's a good fit. We are enthusiastic professionals who are passionate about our business and want to learn more about yours.
If you can handle the increased business load and can be excited about developing new relationships with people you would probably never meet normally, then BNI® is for you!
