The Power of BNI Referral Networking
"Emails and tweets by themselves don't generate the same level of trust that one face to face meeting can create." Watch the below clip taken from the Nightly Business Report on PBS to find out how BNI is benefitting its members despite our current economy. As many BNI participants like to say "We refuse to partipate in a recession!"

Member Testimonal
I joined BNI, Athens Referral Factory in May 2004, just when it was barely 5 months old. Being a Rotary Club member for 35 years brought probably 20 patients to my office and I must say they all are quite loyal and good patients and very much appreciated. That cannot compare to what BNI has done for my Optometric practice’s bottom line. Although I am an established practitioner, I cannot imagine being in business and NOT being in a BNI chapter. Growth is quicker and exposure is much better than any service club or volunteer work I’ve ever done. The minimal fees involved are well worth the investment in your personal and professional growth. You reap much more than you sow. Don’t think about it… JUST DO IT! ! ! You won’t regret it.
