I specifically joined my BNI Chapter for the following reasons: 1. Meeting time and date fit my schedule 2. The location fit my territory of focus. 3. The group was made up mostly of business owners. 4. The chemistry with the group. 5. Last but not least, the group focuses on what really matters: developing relationships with each other and sending quality referrals.

BNI is a great way to have a broad network of trusted service providers that I can recommend to my customers when they have a need. It allows me to differentiate my business from my competitors in that way. Additionally, BNI offers a great network of other businesspeople to discuss business related issues, i.e. operations, marketing, local trends, etc.
