What if growing your business didn't mean working longer hours or managing constant chaos?

Most franchise systems scale by adding complexity:
more locations, more staff, more operational pressure.

The result?
A business that's bigger, but far more fragile.

BNI was built differently.

Instead of chasing raw expansion, BNI scales through retention, local leadership, and communities that become stronger over time not just larger.

That’s why BNI continues to grow across 70+ countries without losing the foundation that makes it work.

Sometimes growth doesn’t come from doing more marketing.
It comes from building stronger relationships.

Since joining BNI in 2018, Cooper Wong has grown his business 5X, turning it into a Million Production Agency through consistent networking, trusted relationships, and the power of referrals.

Because when people know your business, trust your work, and understand how to refer you, growth compounds differently.

How does a giant list of your services actually decrease your chances of getting a referral?

Better yet, how can one concrete story turn a casual introduction into real business?

In this episode of the BNI Podcast, Laura Reid reveals the storytelling formula that makes you referrable:

Situation. Struggle. Solution.

A simple storytelling structure that gives people a reason to remember you, makes you unforgettable, and turns introductions into referrals.

Meeting people is easy.

Building relationships that lead to value takes intention.

The difference is what happens after the conversation.

Try this:
Leave every conversation with a clear next step: a follow-up, a referral, or a connection you can make.

That’s how relationships turn into real growth.

Have you ever walked away from a conversation realizing you said a lot but shared very little?

The reality is simple: Talking more doesn’t make you memorable. Clarity does.

If people can’t explain what you do, they won’t refer you.

Sharpen your message to make it easy for others to advocate for you.
