Tired of Cold Calling?
Are you Spending $$$ Advertising with few Results?
Wouldn't it be Great to have a Group of 50 Raving Fans Trying to Send you
new Clients Every Week?
You know how important referrals are to your business. If you're like me, a business owner or an independent professional, you know that referrals are critical to the growth of your business.
Why aren't you getting more referrals?
Do you provide an excellent product and deliver outstanding service?
Do your customers love you?
If the answer is yes, why aren't you getting more referrals?
Maybe it's because:
1. You think of asking for referrals only as an afterthought. You keep missing those referral moments.
and...
2. You're asking people who really don't care how your business grows.
We've all been there. You just complete a great job for a client and as you are saying good bye you might remember to say, "Oh, by the way, Do you know anyone who could use my services?" You'll probably get a polite "I can't think of any now but I'll sure send them your way if I do." Then you feel relieved, "Well, at least I tried, what more could I do?" Your happy client goes home and you slowly fade out of their memory.
Your past clients may become great referral sources but the problem is that they really don't have much incentive to constantly try to send business your way. You have to cultivate referrals from other like minded business people who know that the more they give the more they will receive.
Maybe it's time to think about joining a BNI Group. You see, the beauty of this program is that you can...
"...Get a Never Ending Stream of New Clients Using a Proven Business Networking System. This is a fine tuned system that works."
No one is going to refer business to you until they know you, trust you, think of you often and see some benefit in it for themselves.
The BNI system ...
-
Gives you weekly exposure to a group of like minded business people.
-
Gives you opportunities to really get to know other business people and find ways to grow each other's businesses.
-
Gives you opportunities to learn how to give and receive targeted referrals .
-
Gets you highly qualified referrals that are eager to do business with you.
-
Gets customers and clients to tap deep into their network to give you referrals.
-
Gives you complete control over the amount of referrals you get.
Isn't that what a high-performing referral program is supposed to do?
Remember, not all BNI groups are the same. They all are supposed to follow the same program but each group is only as good as the commitment that their individual members have...
"...There are Four Things that are needed for a Successful Business Networking Group, (1) Consistency, (2) Productive and Efficient meetings, (3) A Structure that Promotes the Development of long term relationships and (4) Like minded people with similar goals..."
The BNI system has five critical characteristics that are necessary for achieving outstanding results:
1. It's a proven system. BNI has over 3300 chapters throughout the world. It works!
2. It fosters long term relationships. Along with the formal weekly group meetings, you get to have regular one on one meetings with each member of your group. That is where the connections happen and people really get to know you and like you.
3. There's an incentive to each member. Givers gain. The more referrals you give to other members the more you will probably receive. It's the ancient law of what goes around comes around.
5. You have control of who joins. - No referral system will run for a very long time without having high quality products or services. (This is your responsibility).
"What would 50 Raving Fans do for your Business? All you do is go to one high energy meeting per week. Then simply go out and have fun recommending the products and services of all the other people in your group. Have lunch once per week with another member of your group and get to know them and what they do.
Just Remember, Givers Gain!
I
get excited about BNI because
IT'S FUN and EASY!
It's not only who you know, it's all the people that the people who know you know.. Many times a member of the group will know someone who knows someone else who can help another member. How many people are on your Christmas list? 50? 100? Do the math. If there are only 20 members in the group and each has influence over just 50 other people, that's 1000 potential clients.
"Imagine What It Would Mean to Your Business If You Never Had to Advertise or Cold Call But Still Received Hundreds of High-Quality Referrals"
Every week you educate the entire group about who you are looking to do business with. Instead of spending hours and hours on the phone, you spend a focused 2 hour period that will give you much better exposure.
That's what the BNI program is about. A little effort giving you outstanding results.
Come see for yourself how a good networking group operates.
We only
allow one member per profession.
(If your profession is already taken,
you might want to attend a meeting anyway in case that spot opens up in
the future.)
There is a thorough screening process and only people
who are committed to our program and schedule will be invited to join.
Call us to see if there is an opening for your profession.

I've been a member of the group for over 3 years. I not only have gotten many referrals that have turned into some big commissions, I also have gotten a platform to practice public speaking. I used to be scared to death to talk in front of more than a few people. Now I really get a kick out of it. The connections that I have made here are priceless! |

I have found all the members of the group to be professionals knowledgeable in their fields. In addition to providing a portfolio of contacts I can reference with confidence, I have learned something from everyone in the group |

Being a member of the Landmark BNI chapter has had a profound impact on our company’s bottom line. It’s like having an extended sales force that is working for me every week. I enjoy the relationships I have with the other professional in our chapter. |

This BNI group has made a 20% difference in my business over the last two years through direct referrals! There are also indirect referrals that have come from networking with this group that have added significantly to my business. I REALLY hate to get up in the morning to go to meetings, but I am ALWAYS glad that I come to this group on Thursday mornings. If you are serious about your business, you need to join us here! |

The Thursday morning
meeting of the Landmark Chapter of BNI is a great way to start the
day. We are a positive group of individuals who work as a team to
help grow each others business. I believe that the members get as
much joy in passing a good referral as getting one. The increased
circle of influence that BNI encourages results in business that
might never be achieved. The increase in business I received from
BNI in 2006 helped my wife and I win an Allstate trip to Arizona and
Hawaii. We are a great group and will continue to grow and prosper.

BNI has helped me to grow my business tremendously over the past two years. The referrals I get are as close to closed business as they could be. I never have to make a cold call. BNI is wonderful! |

I have been a member of a business-networking group for over ten years. I’m sure if you’re considering joining a BNI group, the first thing you want to know is: “Does it work?” The answer is, yes, of course it works, or it wouldn’t be a hugely successful business around the world.... It sounds silly,
but BNI is more than a group of business owners, it is a group of
business owners I am willing to send my clients to and know my clients
are in good hands and that their best interests will be represented in
a truly professional way. That is what BNI really means to me.

One of the founding principles of BNI
is that "givers gain". This is evident in our Landmark Chapter of
BNI. We are a group of professionals dedicated to expanding our
businesses through helping each others’ businesses grow. I have
received numerous referrals directly from the group, and those
clients have generated additional referrals. If you’re serious about
growing your business, don’t delay joining our group while we still
have openings!
