“Giving and receiving money is like having a sugar fix, you get a high and then it’s over — you’re forgotten. Helping someone in a way which touches their heart and soul is like embedding yourself within their long term memory.”
Accountant – P&Y Partners, BNI Advantage – Adelaide

Testimonies
Stories from our members
More than I could ever have wished for.
After relocating to Adelaide from Melbourne I had a very limited network. I knew that if I was to grow my business in South Australia, where word of mouth is so powerful, I needed to expand my network. After unsuccessfully attending several informal networking events I discovered BNI Adelaide and my experience has been a stark contrast.
I was introduced to a local chapter by the Regional Director 4 years ago and have been a member ever since. While the connections and word of mouth referrals have more than paid for the membership, many times over, the reason I stay a member is the sense of community and genuine friendships that have grown over the years.
Thank you BNI Adelaide, the change you have made in my business is honestly profound and stunning.
Wayne Heywood, Creative Director of Brandnation
Right time. Right Place.
After a career in advertising, I thought I knew how to promote my copywriting business. As is turns out, the longer I was in business, the more my contact list seemed to shrink. I needed to increase my exposure by hitting the networking scene. However, that’s a hard slog for little return.
My wife has been in BNI for many years and is highly successful largely though the contacts and relationships she has made with BNI members. I had been to a chapter meeting many years ago but it wasn’t the right time for me. She recommended that I attend her chapter again when she became president and I knew ten minutes into the meeting that I was going to join.
I’ve been a member for four years now and have more than made back my investment. What I love though, is being able to help other business owners, getting to know more about them and their business, and finding them a good solid business referral.
And thanks to the BNI system, helping out fellow members is wonderfully reciprocated.
