What I love about BNI is being able to help other business owners by getting to know more about them and their business and finding them a good solid business referral. And thanks to BNI’s Giver’s Gain philosophy, helping out fellow members is wonderfully reciprocated.

BNI has helped me become elite in my industry, by educating me on how to better service my clients, by building strong relationships and displaying a positive attitude is all you need to succeed.

BNI has given me the confidence and the network to take the leap and start my own business – it’s always been the Business Development Manager that’s never on leave and never too busy!

BNI Members are your ‘Fan Club’, they want to introduce you and your business to the right people to help you grow. The structure of BNI ensures you get a real return on investment.  I found the hidden ‘gem’ was being able to access so many quality professionals to support my clients.

From the very first meeting I felt that BNI shared my core belief of giving to others. Combined with their training and achievable KPIs, BNI sets you up for success. Not only have I benefited by personal and business growth, but my clients benefit from my network of quality professionals. BNI forms 20% of my business and when combined with the personal growth I have gained, its effect on my business is much higher.

Through BNI I’ve grown multiple mutual relationships with aligned business professionals globally culminating in over $1m per year ongoing. Sales through BNI connections now constitutes a large part of our business and is a key marketing channel where my time, energy and marketing dollars are very well spent.

BNI is an integral part of our business model and much of our year-on-year growth is attributed to the genuine referrals from other members, leading to actual closed business. BNI has helped us to achieve our set goals, while allowing me to grow and develop both personally and professionally.

As a referral based business, it was a no brainer for me to join a networking group. The reason I picked BNI is because of the KPI component, ensuring accountability for all members and their activity. As a result, revenue received through BNI made up 50.94% of my last 12 months revenue.

I joined BNI 5 years ago and since then have been able to take on more staff and for the past 2 years my revenues from BNI referrals have been over $90,000 per year.

BNI has proven to be a tremendous advantage for my business and me personally. As well as delivering a steady stream of clients and opportunities, BNI has introduced me to an amazingly useful network of proactive professionals.

BNI has consistently delivered new business, between $50k – $100k annually. In my industry, clients stay on average 10-15 years. So the longer I stay and contribute to my BNI chapter the more my BNI chapter gives back… compounded.

The connections generated through BNI have made a huge difference to Brandnation. It’s changed how we generate sales and also the products that we are now able to offer our client. Since joining BNI our Return on Investment has been a factor of 60 in the first year alone.

I love working with highly capable professionals that are willing to support one another’s business growth and BNI provides this like no other networking organisation. In my 18 months at BNI, I have formed business relationships that have positively impacted on my business landscape. I have prospered personally and financially and attribute this to the giving mentality of the members and strength of the BNI network.

BNI has provided a platform to build my business by exposing me to a thriving and supportive network, this has not only allowed my business to evolve and flourish, it has opened doors that have led to personal growth and professional success.

BNI has contributed to my growth in confidence, networking and public speaking. Without them, I wouldn’t be here today as I can say 80 percent of my business comes through my BNI connections.

Since joining BNI and learning through all education provided, my business has doubled, enabling me to hire my first staff member, to keep up with demand.
