About Business Network International (BNI)
Why Should You Belong to BNI?
Business Network International, or BNI, is a business and professional networking organization that offers each member the opportunity to share ideas, contacts and referrals.
With over 3,650 chapters worldwide, BNI is the world's leading professional business networking organization. Last year, members of BNI passed 4.9 million referrals which generated 2.2 billion dollars worth of business for each other!
BNI allows only one person from each profession to join a chapter. 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 services, 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 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!!!

- Bi-monthly newsletters with educational material on networking, public speaking, and business.

Note: 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.
