About BNI
What Does BNI Offer
There are many different networking organizations and each have there own niches.  
What separates BNI from all of them is the structure that it has in place for each of it's
members to become successful.  Each Chapter of BNI has it's own Leadership Team.  
Above that team is another level of leadership that helps support each of the chapters.  
Maintaining the basic guidelines that BNI has put in place ensures that every chapter is
a supportive and productive environment promoting the "what goes around, comes
around" ideal.
GIVERS GAIN
Referrals Not Leads
BNI is a referral generating organization and not a leads generation group.  There is a
difference.  Leads are little more than cold calling.  No personal connection or
introduction, just a simple "You might want to contact ......".  Referrals are much more or
via the phone or email.

As you can see, your chances of closing the business of a referral over closing the
business of a lead is much greater.  In my experience, I have even completed the sale
or service before I even receive the referral slip.  Done Deal!
Why BNI
  • Category Exclusiveness:        
           Each Chapter only allows 1 member per profession.  Meaning there will
           be no one else in the group that does what you do.  No competition for
           the referrals passed.

  • Weekly Structured Meetings:
           Each Chapter meets for 90 minutes at the same time and place each
           week.  These meetings support a positive attitude and gives each of it's
           members an opportunity to talk about changes in there business or a new
           "Perfect Referral" they might have.

  • Accountability
           Because BNI is a dues paying organization, accountability is essential to
           making sure only the best of the best are members of each chapter.  One
           way of tracking accountability is attendance.  Other areas that are tracked
           are Referrals Passed & Received, 1-to-1 Meetings, Trainings, and
           Revenue Generated.

  • Education
           From as soon as you become a Member of BNI, you will have access to
           an abundance of training.  These training seminars will not only help you
           become a better BNI Member for your Chapter, but to also help you
           become a better business person.  Trainings are set up monthly and
           range from how to give a great 60 second elevator speech to how to Brand
           you and your company.
