Started in January 1985 by Dr. Ivan R. Misner, Founder & Chairman, BNI provides a positive, supportive, and 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 this “formal” relationship with other people, you w
ill have the opportunity to substantially increase your business. Last year, members of BNI passed millions of referrals that generated billions of dollars worth of business for each other! Belonging to BNI is like having dozens of sales people representing your business, and in return you are representing their businesses. Members carry your business cards around with them. When they meet someone new who could use your product or service, they hand your card out and recommend your services. It is as simple as that! What goes around comes around. If I help you, you’ll help me and we will both benefit as a result. Networking requires commitment. The most successful chapters of BNI are comprised of participants who are sincerely committed to helping one another through networking. As a participant in BNI, you are responsible for complying with the policies and guidelines of the organization.
