Business Network International
BNI is the most successful organisation of its kind
BNI is a business and professional networking organisation with the purpose of generating business for fellow members through referrals. BNI is founded on the core philosophy of Givers Gain, and its unique feature is that it allows only one person from any given profession or trade to join a chapter — so there is no competition between members.
BNI is the most successful organisation of its kind in the world:
There are almost 60,000 members across the globe, more than 7,000 of whom are in the United Kingdom and Ireland. In 2003, our members passed more than 2.8 million referrals to each other, which generated more than £750 million in business world-wide. In the UK and Ireland in the same period, members passed 471,000 referrals, which translated into more than £150 million in business.
Belonging to a BNI chapter is like having dozens of sales people working for you, because all the other members carry several copies of your business cards around with them. When they meet someone who could use your products or services, they hand your card out and recommend you
to the prospective client. It's as simple as that. It's simple because it's based on the proven concept of "what goes around, comes around." If I help you, you'll help me and we'll both benefit as a result.
BNI provides a structured and supportive system of giving and receiving business, in an environment in which you develop personal relationships with dozens of other qualified business professionals.
By establishing these relationships with other people, you will have the opportunity to increase your own business substantially.
