AWARDED “ROOKIE OF THE YEAR” FOR OUR SUCCESSFUL LAUNCH AND RAPID GROWTH IN 2014.
The World’s Largest
Referral Organization
for Midtown Manhattan
BNI, or Business Network International, is a business and professional networking organization that offers its members the opportunity to share ideas, contacts and referrals. Word of mouth advertising is one of the most cost-effective ways to generate new business, and BNI provides the structure, accountability, and education necessary to produce effective referrals for your business. With over 170,000 members worldwide, BNI is the largest business networking organization in the world. Last year alone, BNI generated 6.6 million referrals resulting in $8.6 billion dollars of business for its members.
Each BNI chapter is comprised of a group of professionals, however, only one person from each profession is allowed to join a chapter, which means that each member is the exclusive business provider in their area of expertise for their chapter.
Belonging to BNI is like having dozens of sales people working for you. At BNI, members meet weekly with the understanding that the more they learn about their colleagues’ professional goals, the better they are able to successfully make high-quality referrals. Referrals typically occur when chapter members meet someone who could use the products or services of a fellow chapter member, at which point the member making the referral would hand out the business card or provide the contact information and recommend the services of their chapter colleague.
Chapter 10 brings a creative, energetic and vibrant approach to the BNI model. And what makes us unique is our members. Thanks to the strength and commitment of our leadership and the contribution of our members, we have been able to successfully attract diverse and likeminded professionals who truly embrace the BNI philosophy of “giver’s gain.” In addition to generating business for our colleagues, Chapter 10 believes that the secret to its success in attracting outstanding members is its friendly, supportive and positive approach to referral-based marketing.
We believe that Chapter 10 not only embraces BNI’s model of success, but also provides its members with the additional benefit of membership in a young and quickly growing successful chapter. New members of Chapter 10 are encouraged to take a leadership role in guiding its success.
We appreciate your interest in BNI and hope you enjoy our website. For information on BNI outside of Chapter 10, please visit www.bni.com.
