Ever wondered what a BNI meeting is actually like as a visitor? 👀
Here’s a quick peek behind the scenes ⬇️
✨ What to expect at a BNI meeting:
🤝 Open Networking
~15 minutes of open networking so you can connect, chat, and get comfortable with the environment
🎤 Introductions
Each member and visitor gets 60 seconds to introduce themselves, share what they do, and explain the types of referrals they’re looking for.
💼 “I Have” Segment
This is where the magic happens—members share real referrals, testimonials, and thank-yous for business passed just in the last week.
🌟 Feature Presentation
One member is spotlighted each week with a 10-minute presentation to dive deeper into their business and how we can best support them.
⚡ Structure & Vibe
Meetings are structured, efficient, high-energy, and incredibly supportive—built around BNI’s core philosophy: Givers Gain®.
🔒 One Seat Per Profession
Only one person per professional specialty is allowed in a chapter, so there’s no competition—just collaboration.
