Out of curiosity…..How do you generate new business? Would you like to increase your business by 10%, 20% or even 50%?
You are cordially invited to an exclusive Visitor’s Day brought to you by the Abundant Referral Circle Chapter of Business Network International (BNI), on May 19, 2010, from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. at the Highland Country Club located at 10 Hiller Drive, Oakland 94618. Trey McAllister, BNI Director, will be sharing information about BNI and about why BNI is the number one referral organization.
We will demonstrate how your business can increase by as much as 50% through “word-of-mouth” marketing.
BNI is a business and professional networking organization whose primary purpose is to exchange lucrative business referrals. It is the largest networking organization and currently has 5,291 Chapters with over 117,000 members in the United States and 40 Countries.
In 2009, members of BNI made over 6.2 million referrals, which generated over $2.6 billion (US Dollars) in business for our members worldwide. We operate on the “Givers Gain” philosophy that those who give business freely to others will benefit in return and get business as well.
What makes BNI unique is that it allows only one person per profession to join a chapter. Thus, once you’ve joined, none of your competitors can participate in your chapter. My BNI Networking group, The Abundant Referral Circle chapter is currently seeking people to whom we can refer business and who are interested in generating a steady source of referral business. It provided me with over 58% of my sales in my printable greeting cards online business last year!
Seating will be limited. Please RSVP to me so I can reserve a seat for you. There is a nominal fee of $15.00 to attend the meeting. A continental breakfast will be served. Remember to bring 50-75 business cards to hand out, as you will meet many local business professionals. I look forward to meeting you and to increasing our referral business. I can be reached at 510-698-4525 or s.hiebing@comcast.net.
P.S. Please feel free to bring a friend or business associate with you who may also be interested in finding out how to generate more business through “word-of-mouth” referrals. Tony Robbins says that one referral is equal to 15 cold calls.
Belong to three or four different networking groups is smart. How do you currently network to increase your business?
