Why BNI

Successful businesses depend on word of mouth advertising. It is the best and most cost-effective form of advertising possible. BNI provides a structured environment for the development and exchange of quality business referrals. It does so by providing an environment in which you develop personal relationships with dozens of other qualified business professionals. By establishing these relationships, you will have the opportunity to substantially increase your business.

History of BNI

Started in January of 1985 by Founder and CEO  Ivan R. Misner, Ph.D., Business Network International,  provides a positive, supportive and structured environment to further business through word of mouth marketing.  BNI is a business and professional networking organization that allows only one person per profession to join a chapter. 

Each BNI chapter member acts as a sales person who works for you.  When a member meets someone who could use your products or services, he or she hands that person your business card and recommends your product or service.  The member then asks for permission for you to call this potential new customer.  

That is not just a "lead"; that is a qualified referral.
