Advantages of BNI membership

With over 5,400 active chapters, and nearly 120,000 members, BNI it is the most successful business referral organisation in the world.

Being a member is a privilege, not a right. Each chapter allows only one person from each trade or profession to join a chapter. Membership is not an automatic deal.  References are checked, and followed up, because the chapter needs to have confidence in the new members credentials. 

Once you have been accepted, other members in the chapter will be looking out for opportunities on your behalf, which may lead to referrals. It is like having dozens of sales people working for you because all the other members carry several copies of your business card around with them. When they meet someone new that could use your products or services they hand your card out and recommend your services. It's as simple as that.

In a tight economy, your business may depend on word of mouth. Word of mouth advertising is the best advertising there is.

BNI provides a structured and supportive system of giving and receiving business. It does so by providing an environment in which you will develop personal relationships with dozens of other qualified and skilled business people. By establishing this 'formal' relationship with other people, you will have the opportunity to substantially increase your business.

It is simple because it is based on the proven concept of "what goes around, comes around". If I help you, you'll help me and we will both benefit as a result. Would you like to substantially increase your business? Some participants have added as many as 50 new clients in the first 2 years!
