What is BNI?
BNI is a 35 year old business and professional organisation that allows only one person from each trade or profession to join a chapter. With over 7.5k active chapters, and 300k+ members, it is the most successful business referral organisation in the world.
Belonging to BNI is like having dozens of sales people working for you because all the other members carry copies of your card with them. When they meet someone new that could use your products or services they hand out your card and personally recommend your services.
How can I benefit from BNI?
Being active in BNI is like having 20+ sales people working for you, because your fellow members will be carrying your cards and referring your business to people they mee. Successful businesses depend on ‘word-of-mouth’ marketing as the best form of promotion there is.
BNI provides a structured, supportive, business environment in which local business people can get together to network, learn valuable new marketing skills and develop the strong personal relationships that lead to trust and the consequent generation of significant business for each other.
Our Philosophy
The philosophy of this organization is built upon the idea of “Givers Gain®”: By giving business to others, you will get business in return. This is predicated on the age-old idea of “What goes around, comes around.”
