Started in January of 1985 by Founder and CEO  Ivan R. Misner, Ph.D., BNI-Business Network Int'l. provides a positive, supportive and structured environment to further business through word of mouth marketing.  BNI is a business and professional networking organization that allows only one person per profession to join a chapter.

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 who could use your products or services, they hand that person your card and recommend your services. It's as simple as that! Last year, members of BNI passed over a million referrals which generated millions of dollars worth of business for each other!

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. 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 advertising. It is the best and most cost-effective form of advertising possible. BNI provides a structured environment for the development and exchange of quality business referrals. 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.

Some people dream of success, while others wake up and work hard at it
