BNI CHAPTER 2
The 'Notable Networkers', meeting every Tuesday AM at the Grand Ledge Opera House.
Members of Business Network International (BNI) pass thousands of referrals each year, leading to millions of dollars worth of business for member businesses. BNI is a business  networking organization that allows only one person per profession to join each chapter. Would you like to have 30+ sales people working for you? That's what membership in BNI is like. Members carry a business card folder with several copies of your business card. When another member meets someone who could potentially use your product or service, they will refer them to you and give them your card. The BNI concept works because it's based on the philosophy of "Givers Gain". When every individual member works to look for prospects for all the other members, everyone wins! It is possible for members to increase their business by 20%, 30%, 50%, 100% or more. Many have experienced this and you can too! Some participants have gained as many as 50 new customers in 2 years!!! Successful businesses depend on word-of-mouth advertising and BNI is a great way to develop this sort of 'buzz' about your business. If you would like to join or attend one of our meetings, contact us today! | BNI |  |  For more information on BNI, check out the following websites:
