| BNI is a business and professional networking organization that allows only one person per profession to join a chapter. In 2001, BNI members passed approximately 2.1 million referrals generating over 727 million (US) dollars! In 2001 the organization had a net growth of 425 chapters - the largest increase in our history.
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.
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.
Belonging to BNI 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 new who could use your products or service, they hand your card out and recommend your services. 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 will both benefit as a result.
The philosophy of BNI 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".
