It is an environment where like-minded people work together as a team to make each and every member grow, shine and soar into greatness.  My years with BNI have been the best years in my business life.  The friendships, mentoring, accountability have all been things that the yearly dues cannot cover! It would have cost thousands of dollars for all I have learned with my membership dues.”Brenda Kohles (Realty Excellence Group, L.L.C.) BNI Mesa Success - Mesa, Arizona________________________________________________________ "Joining BNI was one of the best decisions for growing our business.  It was the difference between staying in business during the "great recession".  Now that business has picked back up, BNI is still the meeting we look forward to most during the week.  We leave energized and ready to take on the world."Ernie Dambaugh (Tahoe Tech Group) Mountain High BNI & Carl LeBlanc (Tahoe Tech Group) Lake of the Sky BNI - Lake Tahoe, California________________________________________________________ "I started my own law firm less than a year after being graduating from law school and I can honestly say that my firm would not have survived had it not been for business generated through BNI. Two years later, my business has grown exponentially, I've hired support staff, and 50% of my business is BNI business."Victoria Leigh (Leigh Law, L.L.C.) BNI Show Me the Referrals - Sherwood, Arkansas________________________________________________________ "Last year my BNI membership generated $45,000 in revenue.  This is revenue I would not have realized had I not been a member.  When I do the math, my cost of BNI membership is trivial compared to the dividends. By far the best decision I have made since first starting my business has been BNI.” Howard LaFevers (Rapid Refill Ink) BNI Springfield Business Connections - Springfield, Missouri________________________________________________________ "I highly recommend BNI membership to any business that is serious about being successful. BNI follows a proven system that brings out the best in people to make business generation natural, fun and consistent. Referrals from BNI are directly responsible for six-figures of our firm’s revenue, making the ROI amazing.  However, the association with other business owners who invest their time, effort and friendships into helping us succeed make my seat in the chapter priceless!" Sean T. Boyd (Boyd and Associates, P.C.) BNI Riverside Executives - Rancho Cordova, California FAQsQ1: Can anyone join a chapter?A: We only take one person per professional specialty. So if you are a residential real estate person and we already have one, we can refer you to another chapter, or allow you to open another chapter. Of course, if you are a commercial real estate person, you could be eligible to join this chapter.Q2: How do you know new members are reputable?A: The application asks for references and we have a membership committee that checks them. It's referral marketing, so before they even come to a meeting they have to have spoken to someone or been invited by someone in the group. Everyone has to have a sponsor, or one is assigned to them, and they interview them.Q3: What if a member gets a referral and does poor work?A: We have an ethics committee and it is imperative that anyone who gives a lead and finds out it was not satisfactorily handled must report that to the membership committee, who will investigate.Q4: What occupations benefit the most from networking?A: It is not the occupation, it is the individual. The occupation can be anything. If you're focused and you have a dream and you're willing to make a sacrifice, you are the person we want in the group.Q5: Are members supposed to bring visitors?A: You're encouraged to bring visitors for those occupations that are open, after the visitor has been prescreened, and if they're a viable candidate. It's pretty much a closed meeting except for potential members.Q6: Do ethical rules for certain professions prohibit participation in BNI?A: BNI understands the importance of the ethical concerns governing certain professions and acknowledges that rules can differ by location. As such, BNI therefore requires its members to uphold the rules of its profession so as not to violate the professional’s ethical obligations. In the event that BNI’s general rules could potentially violate a professional’s ethical code, BNI’s rules are superseded by the dictates of the professional’s ethics’ code. Significantly, a primary objective of BNI is to educate its membership in ways to market and grow business. It is BNI’s intent to ensure that this is permitted.Q7: If I specialize in a field within my profession, am I expected to be an expert in all aspects of my profession?A: BNI understands that many professions are broad and that people often specialize within their profession. BNI does not expect, nor does it encourage, any professional to participate in an area in which the professional does not have expertise. On the contrary, BNI prohibits professionals from acting outside of the scope of their abilities.Q8: My profession does not let me directly solicit business. Is BNI still right for me?A: BNI’s primary objective is to assist its members in ways to improve their business and to educate them concerning how they can effectively network. Business people get business when their expertise is known and others reach a comfort level with them. BNI provides a forum that allows members to meet other business peers who need to know effective and efficient business people.
