I first heard about BNI through my franchise mentor and every time we spoke, he would ask, have you joined yet? When I finally gave in and went to a meeting, I fell in love with the friendship of the team, the family-like feel, the constant referrals everyone spoke about and genuine desire to watch everyone be successful. Within the first 3 months of being a member the referrals I received paid for my annual membership fee. For the past 11 months I have received almost $8,000 in business from this amazing team. Since my services are not high dollar items, the business that has been referred to me is absolutely amazing. But what was even more amazing was the friendships that were created. I would definitely recommend BNI to anyone who is looking to grow their business, meet likeminded people in the community and expand their networking/friendship circle.
