| Referral Institute  The Referral Institute teaches business professionals throughout the world how to harness the power of word-of-mouth marketing to drive sales for fast, sustainable business growth. At present, the organization has over 100 certified trainers operating in nine countries, and the numbers are rapidly growing.
Referal-based, word-of-mouth is the ultimate sales program. Those who train in it are Master Salespeople. There is no exception to this rule. Other marketing tools like traditional advertising, public relations and websites are certainly of value, particularly if they reinforce the word-of-mouth process. The experienced sales professional recognizes the word-of-mouth is head and shoulders above all other sales and marketing methods.
Please browse our site to learn a little more about word-of-mouth marketing as well as effective referral systems available through the Referral Institute. Beyond that, we would love to talk with you (word-of-mouth or email) about growing your business the effective way, by generating qualified referrals.

| Action Coach 
ActionCOACH CEO Brad Sugars said. The image of the Business Coach as a new-age accessory just for high-powered CEOs may be at an end as more small-and medium-sized businesses embrace coaching as an essential business tool. As a result, the Business Coaching industry is growing rapidly. A recent joint study by the American Management Association and the Institute for Corporate Productivity found that 52% of US businesses had a Business Coach while another 37% planned to implement coaching programs in the near future.
With over 1100 offices in over 26 countries, there’s probably an ActionCOACH near you. Talk to the ActionCOACH in your chapter.

| Coffee News
BNI and Coffee News have recently agreed to formalize their long-standing referral relationship. Coffee News is a franchise organization whose franchisees have been very active in the BNI organization for many years.
Coffee News provides a light and entertaining paper that patrons pick up on their way in to their favorite restaurant. It provides a few minutes of light reading while the order is taken and the meal is prepared. Since most patrons can read Coffee News in about eight minutes, they have plenty of time to read all the ads as well. BNI strongly recommends the Coffee News program.
