About BNI

BNI is the largest, most successful referral marketing organization in the world. BNI’s proprietary business networking strategy allows one person per category to actively participate in each chapter, and the primary objective is to help one another build business by referral. BNI provides ongoing training and support to help members to effectively network and generate word-of-mouth referrals for their business and for others.

How BNI Works

Essentially, here’s how BNI works… You teach your fellow chapter members about your business and the types of referrals you’re looking for, and they carry your business cards around with them each day. When they meet someone who could use your product or service, they pass along your card, share a testimonial about your business, and help open the door to a new client opportunity for you. It’s like having an extended team of sales people working to promote your business, only they’re not on your payroll!

Successful businesses depend on word-of-mouth referrals. BNI’s unique marketing program offers a cost effective and structured approach to referral generation. The BNI system of giving and receiving referrals creates a supportive and trusting environment for developing serious business relationships. The relationships you develop will convert network contacts into referred business.
