What is BNI?

Business Networking International
BNI Networking Networks Referral Group
Rockland County, New York

BNI is the largest business networking organization in the world. It offers members the opportunity to share ideas, contacts and most importantly, business referrals with members of their group.   BNI is a small business opportunity that allows the trust and confidence a prospect has in one member to be transferred to another.  This trust gives the person receiving the BNI referral the inside track to the sale.   Small business networking or “word of mouth” referrals are a key component to the development of a referral program and should be part of every small business marketing plan.

The following is directly from the BNI International Website:

BNI 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."

Our Mission:

The mission of BNI is to help members increase their business through a structured, positive, and professional "word-of-mouth" program that enables them to develop long-term, meaningful relationships with quality business professionals.

Last year alone, members of BNI passed 6.2 million referrals...

...which generated over $2.6 billion dollars (U.S.) worth of business for its members! BNI is a business and professional networking organization that allows only one person per professional classification or specialty to join a chapter.

Would you like to increase your business by 20%, 30%, 50% or as much as 100%?

You can see results like this! Many have. Some participants have added as many as 50 new clients in the first 2 years!!! Successful businesses 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 develop personal relationships with dozens of other qualified business professionals. By establishing this "formal" relationship with other people, you will have the opportunity to substantially increase your business.

(*) Note, some professions, specifically attorneys and certain health care professionals, may not be permitted to seek direct referrals through in-person solicitation through the use of business cards pursuant to their ethical code. Members of BNI that belong to these professions are directed to follow their profession's own ethical guidelines.
