| Member Benefits |
| Belonging to BNI is like having dozens of sales
people working for you because all of them carry several copies of
your business cards around with them. When they meet someone who could
use your products or services, they hand out your card and recommend
you. It's as simple as that! It's simple because it's based on a proven
concept by BNI Founder, Dr Ivan Misner, called "givers
gain." If I give you business you'll give me business
and we'll both benefit as a result; and the benefits are many: |
- Substantially increased referrals.
- Tools to network more effectively, including
an orientation cassette tape giving the "Formula for Success"
in BNI, a badge, a card holder to carry members' business cards,
referral slips, marketing materials for your chapter and much,
much more.
- Participation in up to 52 networking meetings
per year.
- Quarterly newsletters with educational
material on networking, public speaking, and business.
- Participation in business tradeshows (where
you'll have an opportunity to market your chapter and your business).
- Free periodic workshops on networking.
