Why does BNI want you to fill out your profile? And why should you keep it updated? Because your profile is more than just a form â itâs your introduction, your credibility, and your referral tool all in one.
Your fellow members want to refer business to you. But they can only do that effectively if they understand:
â
What you do
â
Who you serve
â
What makes you different
â
What referrals are ideal for you
An updated profile helps your chapter become a stronger sales force for your business. It gives members confidence when talking about you and makes it easier to connect you with the right opportunities.
And letâs be honest â businesses evolve. Services change. Niches sharpen. Goals grow. Keeping your profile current ensures your chapter is sharing the BEST and most accurate version of your business.
The more we know about each other, the more referrals we can pass. Relationships build referrals â and great profiles help build relationships. A polished profile says: âI take my business seriously.' Remember - Your digital reputation enters the room before you do!
