BNI - Business Networking International & You

Three years ago I started the first BNI chapter in the Tri-City region. I was leary at first of the "Amway" feel to the organization plus weekly meetings...forget about it! Since that time I have closed nearly $100,000 is business from my BNI affiliation. In addition the skills that you learn as a BNI members are invaluable. Networking properly is an artform. It is most often a learned behavior. Few are "natural networkers". Word of mouth is the most powerful form of advertising with the biggest ROI that I know of. You can find a list of BNI chapters in your neighborhood at www.bni.com. Each group has a different "culture/vibe" visit several before you find the right fit for you! Remember "Givers Gain!"
