The Structure Says it All

  • BNI's approach to word-of-mouth marketing is built around a structured marketing system.
  • BNI meetings are carefully designed to create successful referral partnerships among the members.

    Your marketing time does not encroach upon your income-generating day.
  • Only one person from each professional discipline or business is invited to join a BNI chapter.
    There is no competition within a BNI chapter
  • All participants represent their primary occupation.
    Experienced professionals are ready with information and advice.

    More than three absences can result in loss of membership.
    Success means active participation
  • Participants contribute weekly with referrals and / or visitors.
