About the BNI
Would you like to increase your business by 20%, 30%, 50% or as much as 100%?
You can see results like this with BNI! 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.
BNI provides a structured and supportive system of giving and receiving business. It does so by providing and environment in which you develop long term personal relationships with dozens of other qualified business professionals. This creates a basis for trust, and inevitably, referrals will follow.
By establishing this "formal" relationship with other men and women inside of a structured organised programme, you will have the opportunity to substantially increase your business.
BNI is a 20 year old business and professional organisation that allows only one person from each trade or profession to join a chapter. With over 4,600 active chapters, and 92,000 members, it is the most successful business referral organisation in the world.
Belonging to BNI is like having dozens of sales people working for you because all the other members carry copies of your card with them. When they meet someone new that could use your products or services they hand out your card and personally recommend your services.
It's as simple as that! Last year members of BNI passed 4,900,000 referrals, which generated more than €1.1 billion worth of business.
Members of BNI have discovered that it really is WHO you know that matters, and have joined the Networking Experience that has already seen many UK businesses increase their turnover dramatically, and has now spread to 7 countries around the world.
