BNI - Business Network Int'l., a networking organization specializing in business referrals among members, is developing its newest chapter, BNI Sacramento Mid-Town, in the Sacramento area! There are already more than 40 chapters meeting in northern California.
"BNI is a great way for businesses to experience growth by duplicating their marketing efforts through word-of-mouth. We only accept one person per profession, therefore once someone has been accepted as a member, none of their competitors can participate!" says John Lisle, Director of BNI for the Central Valley Region.
BNI was founded in 1985 by Ivan R. Misner, Ph.D., and now has more than 5,000 Chapters, with over 105,000 members throughout the U.S., and 39 other countries. The organization generated over 5,500,000 referrals for member businesses in 2007 alone which resulted in over $2.2 billion worth of business to the members.
"Our style of networking is based on the philosophy 'Givers Gain'; if I help you, then you'll help me and we'll all do better business," says Dr. Ivan Misner, Founder of BNI who has also authored five books on the subject of word-of-mouth marketing including, The World's Best-Known Marketing Secret, Seven Second Marketing, and Business By Referral and the New York Times best seller Masters of Networking.
The kick-off of the BNI Sacramento Mid-Town chapter chapter will be held on Thursday, October 16th from 7am to 8:30pm, at The Kasbah Lounge 2115 J Street, Sacramento. The chapter is looking for professional business people to whom they can refer business. There is no charge to attend the meeting, and all visitors are welcome.
