BNI makes sense in Good Times and Slower Times
Wednesday, November 5th, 2008BNI (Business Network International on web at www.bni.com) is an international networking organization with has over 8000 chapters worldwide and half a million members. I have been a member of BNI in San Francisco and also in St Petersburg for the last 5 years and have found it a very efficient way to gain referrals and find new customers.
For any small business trying to find new business and also create more awareness there is no better format than BNI. In tough markets it is hard to stretch marketing dollars and BNI only costs a a few hundred dollars a year and you get a good meal.
BNI also provides an excellent format to tell people about your business. eLease has found some great vendors through this word of mouth marketing so find a chapter and see it work for yourself.
Congratulations President-Elect Obama!
