There are thousands of chapters all over the world and it works on the simple principle of givers gain; if you give business to others they will want to give business to you. Being a member of BNI is like having a sales team working for you, because the other members of your chapter are always looking out for people who could use your services or products and are willing to personally recommend you to their colleagues, clients and associates.
As a member of BNI, you and your business will be exposed to many other businesses and useful contacts. As well as attending your own chapter meetings and giving and receiving referrals, you are also invited to attend a range of other networking opportunities such as regional get togethers, social events and valuable training sessions.
You will also receive a range of tools to help you become a successful member of your chapter. This includes referral slips, a chapter business card holder so you can have all of your chapters cards with you at all times and a quarterly newsletters full of success stories and educational material on giving presentations, business networking and generating referrals.
