What Partner Members are Saying
I joined BNI after a local business owner suggested I visit to network with other like minded individuals looking to grow their business. Over the last 5 years I have built well over a two dozen quality relationship that refer me business as well as generated nearly $200k in revenue for ADP. I would highly suggest BNI to anyone looking to grow their network of referral partners and you will build relationships that last a lifetime.
Since we opened 11 years ago, BNI has been our single largest external referral source generating over 20% of our total revenue. We could never have achieved our growth rate or our goals without BNI.
My customers call me frequently for help in their business and being in BNI gives me those connections to pass along to them and the more they call me the more they do business with me. I average around $200,000 per year in sales directly from the referrals I have received in BNI.
Networking is the second-largest generator of new customers to my business behind the internet. BNI is by far the best networking platform for my business.
The BNI family has been a great boost to help me start my business. Introductions to other owners, meeting local professionals, establishing power teams, and helping each other have been instrumental to the growth of my business. Over 25% of my clients come through BNI networks. I enjoy learning from owners who are more like mentors to me.
I became a member of BNI 9 years ago when we first started our business. From the beginning, BNI has been a big part of our business with 40% of our leads coming from BNI partners. Mainly I have learned the benefits of Giver’s Gain not only for my business for being able to help others improve and grow their businesses. I am truly happy providing referrals that result in business for other BNI members. It is very exciting to watch their businesses grow and become successful and know that I contributed to that. For these reasons I am still a BNI member and will continue to be as long as I own my business.
Why Become a BNI Member
I’m not exaggerating, BNI has changed my life. Not only did I get over a quarter of my business from BNI, but he also developed the most special friendships within my chapter. I highly recommend BNI to any small business owner who wants to surround themselves with other successful business owners, drive more referrals and benefit from a dedicated referral partner for ongoing support.
