What you can expect

Our meetings run from 7am until 8:30am every Wednesday morning at the Park Regis Hotel at North Quay in Brisbane’s CBD. It is a structured meeting that allows each member and visitor one minute to tell the group about their business. You will also see a 10 minute presentation by one of the members. Towards the end of the meeting we pass referrals and testimonials. This is the most important part of the meting and is where all the business is done.

The chapter is monitored by a number of KPI’s, which are reported every week. The dress code is business attire and we always finish on time and have a great laugh in the process.

Bring about 40-50 business cards. You will get to pass these around the table. And, prepare a 45 second infomercial that sums up your business. You may also be asked to give some feedback on the mornings meeting.

About BNI

bni-logo-color-intl-version-w200BNI is a business referral organisation whose primary purpose is to assist its members to find and exchange qualified business referrals for each other and develop word-of-mouth marketing techniques.

Unlike other networking groups, BNI provides its members with a professional structure and an ongoing training system which enables members to network in a deliberate manner as well as constantly update their referral marketing skills.

Rapid growth has seen BNI become the world’s largest business referral organisation of its kind, with over 5,200 chapters in 40 countries, and more than 110,000 members.

Last year members of BNI in Australia generated business referrals that resulted in more than $70 million in new business. (In that same period BNI wordwide passed over 4.9 million referrals, this translates to over A$2.25 billion of business).

Some participants have added as many as 50 new clients in the first 2 years! Successful businesses depend on word of mouth because it is the best advertising there is.

BNI provides a structured and supportive system of giving and receiving business. It does this by providing an environment in which personal relationships can be developed with dozens of other qualified business professionals. By establishing this ‘formal’ relationship with other people, each member has the opportunity to substantially increase his or her business.
