At my first BNI meeting as a visitor, I came loaded with Christmas gift ideas to display and use as visual aids during my introduction. I walked out with more than $1,000 in orders! I became a BNI member in January. During the past months, I have benefited from my BNI group in the following ways:
- I have landed more than $6,000 in sales;
- I have found two new business associates;
- I've a professional "support" group whom I can call when I need help in one of the areas represented.
I am impressed with the level of commitment BNI members have to help me. There is no limit to the possibilities of networking. Thank you BNI and my special BNI friends in Richardson, Texas.

In the two months since joining the Colleyville Lunch chapter, I have received 86 referrals. To date that means more than $115K of business in construction work. I've done so well that I've had two offers to buy out my company and especially my BNI chair!

As a 2-year member and past president of the Tri-County chapter of BNI Oregon, I have both received and given many referrals. About a year ago, one member, Patrick Prothe of Prothe Studios, gave me a referral to where he does occasional work, Xerox Office Printing. The initial referral was to place labels on TicTacs for a trade show. Since then, my total orders for Xerox have been close to $100,000. A big "Thank You" to Patrick and BNI. It works!
