This is my 4th year in BNI and as a Visitor Host I kept telling everyone how much business I was getting out of BNI so I thought I should sit down and actually check my numbers to see if it was really that good.
My 1st year in BNI I only got approx 1% of my income from BNI. Year 2 was in the low double digits. However between the 2nd and 3 year my income jumped up to approx. 24% of my income was coming from BNI.
The 4th year was even better. Currently 36% of my income is coming from BNI referrals. By the end of this year it should be in the 40’s is my guess.
I think the thing I learned from this is give BNI some time and have some patience. In meeting with prospective and new members I always tell them to be patient and give this deal some time to work.

As a Chiropractor, I thought I would have a hard time receiving referrals due to "pre-conceived notions."
BNI has helped me learn how to educate people about what I do and dispell the myths! The cost of membership has paid for itself many times over!

I recently moved to Texas from California and BNI was a key component of helping the expansion of our company in the Texas market.
Through BNI not only did we receive and give great referrals but BNI has lead us to many new great friendships and a group of people that we can call our second family. They helped us establish ourselves in a new city and feel like we are home!
Our business has as a result blossomed and we have achieved some of our highest levels through the recession! We refuse to participate in a recession…

"Without BNI, I might not have ever met the contacts at three of my largest clients for my company!
All of three of these clients provide larger and more frequent orders than any we have ever had and I have only been in BNI for 6 months!"

During our first year in business, BNI referrals produced 40% of our business.
Now that we are in our fourth year, BNI averages 10-12.5% each month.
The relationships that we have developed in BNI are a solid part of the reason for our success. We have had as many as three people in three chapters at a time. BNI works for those who work at BNI.

The quality of the friendships within the group has really grown and become like a family, but not a social hour. We all care deeply for each other, and are able to keep our focus on the reason we are all there, TO MAKE MONEY!!!! TO GROW OUR BUSINESSES!!!
The dollar amount of business that I receive on a weekly basis is usually at least $150.00. One of my biggest thrills was being able to refer a good friend of mine to our HVAC Chair, who is a great client and source of referrals as well. His job generated around $9000.00!!!!!
Anyone interested in growing their business, expanding their warm market and having a great time in the process should find a chapter that best fits their needs and personality!!!

Upon re-entry into my residential REALTOR© career, I had lost most of my client base and wanted to “kick start” my business.
BNI has provided me opportunities that I would not otherwise have had. AND as a result of establishing trusting relationships with members in my chapter I became a valuable “source” for my clients, family and friends.
It’s that “Giver’s Gain” thing and it works!”
