  • Increased exposure to many other people and businesses.

  • Substantially increased business through networked referrals and recognition by one's peers.

  • Tools to network more effectively, including an orientation DVD giving the "Formula for Success" in BNI, a, badge, a vinyl card holder to carry members' business cards, referral slips, marketing materials for your chapter and much, much more.

  • Participation in up to 52 networking meetings per year.

  • Quarterly newsletters with educational material on networking, public speaking, and business.

  • Participation in business tradeshows (where you'll have an opportunity to market your chapter and your business).

  • Free periodic workshops on networking.

  • And much, much more!!!


One-to-Ones

Sometimes called Dance Cards, "One-to-Ones" are meetings with other members outside of the regular Wednesday morning meetings. One-to-Ones are an opportunity to get to know other members and the services their businesses offer. One-to-Ones are particularly helpful for new members, and for this reason they are counted as leads during the first two months of membership. For all members they're a great way to help get to know others and their businesses and, in turn, boost leads.
