Be Prepared

Visit a chapter prepared to talk about your business.

Members are interested in getting to know how connections with visitors can be mutually beneficial.

Also, don’t forget to bring your business cards.

Be Punctual

Meetings are high energy and run according to a structured agenda.

Arrive on time always so you don’t miss out on any opportunities for networking.

Be Exclusive

Only one person from each professional specialty is allowed to join a chapter of BNI, eliminating the possibility of competition among our members.

When you join a chapter, you are the sole representative of your field and can develop relationships with others in the chapter as their go-to person for your services.

Be the Boss

The businesses our members represent are their full-time occupations. 

This ensures they are able to position themselves as resources and experts in their field.
