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.

Last year, members of BNI passed over 5,600,000 referrals which generated more than £1.45 billion worth of business for each other. Of this total, over 650,000 referrals were passed in the UK and Ireland, resulting in over £230 million worth of business during that year.

BNI is a twenty five year old business and professional organisation that allows only one person from each trade of profession to join a chapter. With over 5,300 active chapters, and over 110,000 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 several copies of your business card around with them. When they meet someone new that could use your products or services they hand your card out and recommend your services. It’s as simple as that.

It is simple because it is 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 substantially increase your business? Some participants have added as many as 50 new clients in the first 2 years.
