A great BNI Paradise meeting this morning with a bit of St Patrick’s Day spirit 🍀

Thanks to everyone who showed up in green, always good to see the effort and energy in the room.

Big shoutout to Bogdan, now officially a $1 million giver. Look at that proud face. Successful and funny, what a combination. We love having you in the chapter.

And well done to Jayson for completing his BNI Passport to Success. Such a great effort and done so quickly.

Last week at BNI Paradise we recognsied International Women's Day with a panel presentation by three of the best, Leigh Henderson, Chloe Leigh and Provoost. Their insight into "being a woman in business" was so insightful and engaging, we forgot to take photos! Thank you ladies for sharing such honest, vulnerable and thought-provoking commentary on your adversity, success and reflections - we are proud to know and support you in your business journey!!

Our chapter also welcomed to the room Ellie Hextall from Femme Creative in the Web Design seat. We encourage you to learn more about Ellie's business https://femmecreative.com.au/ and look forward to seeing her growth.

What an action-packed meeting at BNI Paradise this week.

There is nothing that our resident Jeff Feltham from My Poolman Gold Coast loves more than BNI, than footy. So, in honour of the season kick off the chapter got behind our favourite sporting teams and donned their apparel. There were certainly some conversation starters, and colour in the room this week!

Our second meeting of the month is all about celebrating wins and boy, did we have some wins in February.

Josh Davis was presented with his pin for 5 years of BNI Membership and an incredible $4 million of Thank You For Close Business given.

AND one of our newest members Dylan De Gruchy was recognised for Most Improved Member, with a massive 30pt jump, leapping straight into the Green!

We also took some time out to recognise our amazing Mentor Coordinator - Chloe Leigh from The Gold Standard Co., who has developed one of the best new member onboarding processes in the region. Thank you Chloe!!

The cheers in the room said it all. This kind of recognition does not happen by accident. It reflects the consistency, the referrals, the visitors, the collaboration and the genuine support we show each other week after week.

So proud to be part of this group and excited for what the rest of the year holds.

Congratulations again to everyone. I hope I have not missed anyone.

This month’s BNI Paradise testimonial comes from Ethan at North Skips.

Ethan represents the rubbish removal category in our chapter, and what stands out most to him is the people.

For Ethan, it is about building real connections. Not just business referrals, but relationships you can connect with on a personal level.

Through those connections, he has grown his business, passed quality referrals, and built strong partnerships within the chapter.

That is what BNI Paradise is about. Great people. Real relationships. Business that flows both ways. BNI Gold Coast and Tweed Shire - Australia

Our Story

Business Network International (BNI®) provides a positive, supportive, and structured environment to exchange quality business referrals. BNI® is the largest business networking organization in the world. We offer members the opportunity to share ideas, contacts, and most importantly, business referrals.

Last year Members of BNI® passed thousands of referrals, which generated over 2.8 Billion dollars’ worth of business for each other! BNI® is a business and professional referral organization that allows only one person from each profession to join a chapter.

Belonging to BNI® is like having dozens of salespeople working for you because all the other members carry several copies of your business cards around with them. When they meet someone who could use your products or services they hand your card out and recommend your services. It's as simple as that! BNI® was founded in 1985 by Dr. Ivan Misner as a platform for entrepreneurs to build their business through referrals. Today, the organization has thousands of chapters in dozens of countries around the world.

Each year, BNI® passes millions of referrals generating billions of US dollars in business for its members. Find out more about how you can build your business through referrals in BNI®. Currently, our BNI® chapter meetings are online for the health and safety of our members.
