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!"

I provide a service that many might consider a luxury...and not needed in these tough economic times. However, my BNI team of 50+ sales managers are out there every day helping promote the benefits of having an interior designer involved at the beginning of any remodeling, building, or even re-arranging project. The Athens Referral Factory "workers" have also become my "go-to" experts when I meet with clients to discuss their projects. It is so reassuring to know that I can hand out cards for a top-notch builder, electrician, plumber, banker, financial manager...and about 45 other specialists. After my CAD programs, BNI is my biggest business asset!
