Benefits of BNI

BNI has many benefits, for today we are going to focus on 5 of them.

First, the structure and proven system of the agenda which you are experiencing firsthand at this event.

Second exclusive marketing rights- In BNI you apply for a seat in your industry. Once you are accepted no one else can join, you own the rights to the seat in your chapter. That seat brings in new and continuous revenue sources each week. It comes from members but also the visitors and guests that attend. These are people you may not have met without your chapter.

Third a Large Marketing team - This is one of the most powerful benefits of BNI. If you are in a chapter of 30, 40, 50 people they are all out having conversations about you or your business to their friends, family, and communities all for about $100 per month. Think about that, you can have 25 or more individuals marketing your business for about $100 per month…..

Fourth we have Long lasting business relationships – When you join BNI you join for a year or more. Over that year you will get to know the members, have coffee with them, become friends with them…these relationships will expand into so much more. Because you will earn their trust and they earn yours. You can then transfer that trust into referrals. You become a great creditable resource for your clients because you have others who have proven to be trustworthy over time.

And last but certainly not least Continuing Education - Many of our members do not join for this but we hear from them when they renew that this is one of their most impactful benefits of BNI. We have hours among hours of continuing education and professional development that is available for our member, we have weekly support webinars, and when the time is right in-person training
