Thinking of joining BNI? BNI (business network international)is arguably the most effective successful business network group in the country. It has truly grown by leaps and bounds since its inception 25 years ago. What seems to be a major factor to their success is consistency in their format.

Many networking groups over time turn into mere coffee break socials, without many business referrals being shared. They become un-productive and a huge waste of time.If you are seriously considering making more money and expanding your business, you must consider locating A BNI chapter near you.

I personally visited several before joining a chapter. At every meeting I met people who are motivated to help their fellow members. These individuals come from all walk of life; attorneys, chiropractors, carpet cleaners,online business folks,work from home folks you name it. Each member stands up and hand referrals to their fellow members.

This is a perfect example of viral marketing, word of mouth in its simplest form. Any marketer knows (or should know) this is truly the golden nugget of marketing. Do you have or work for a small business? maybe you have a home business. whatever you do in business you can improve your revenue measurably.

But is BNI for you? They do have weekly meetings. At first I was concerned about having to commit to be somewhere every week at a specific time. But they do allow someone to stand in for you if you can’t make it to the meeting. Also they do expect you to provide referrals to your co-members. The training you receive in this area will properly be enough to help you with providing referrals.

Opportunities exist amongst the members because a lot of them will use you to provide a service or product they need. Givers gain is the motto of all the BNI groups all over the world. This implies that if you give to your fellow members you will in turn gain as a result. As a member I can certainly attest to that philosophy.
