New BNI coming to Leslieville: 

Are you an entrepreneur, driven to succeed and depend on referrals for your business? Would you like to be part of a brand new BNI referral team? Then consider joining us for the next information session.

Starting a new BNI Chapter is exciting. A new BNI chapter offers more than the opportunity to get referred business. A BNI membership gives you access to talented professional and business oriented people who want to help you succeed in business.

Founding members of new BNI Chapters, follow proven methods developed over BNI’s 25 year history. It takes about 10 weeks to “kick off” a new chapter. During this time, you will participate in an established and systematic program combining both group dynamics and solid referral marketing strategies. The Fundamentals of Referral Marketing will be shared by an experienced and trained BNI Director. 

BNI operates on a givers gain philosophy: bringing business into the chapter you will get business back from the chapter. In order to develop a new referral team, we are seeking applications from people in the following key areas:

• General Contractor
• Printer Interior
• Designer
• Florist
• Residential Cleaner
• Bookkeeper
• Registered Massage Therapist
• Handyman Services
• Dentist
• Sign Company
• Life Coach
• Personal Trainer
• Graphic Designer
• Chartered Accountant
• Caterer
• Computer Tech.
• Photographer
• Wine Maker
• Dog Walker
• Residential Cleaner

In a nutshell, BNI’s uniquely structured program allows only one person per business category or professional discipline to join a chapter. Once you join, none of your competitors can participate in our chapter.

If referrals are important part of your business, you will appreciate hearing about BNI’s powerful program.

Seating will be limited. Please bring plenty of business cards, as you will meet many local business people.
