BNI Mid-Day Power Partners Meeting
You are invited to learn how to build your business in 2009 by 10%-25%.
We are currently facing the most challenging economic conditions since the Great Depression. Do you have a strategy in place to deal with those challenges and make sure your business prospers in 2009?
Virtually every successful business grows through good “word of mouth”: someone purchases your products or services, and recommends them to others. This is known as “referral marketing,” and it is the most successful (and inexpensive) form of “advertising” available to your business. The question is, how can you generate those referrals on an ongoing and consistent basis?
By joining a business networking organization. These organizations are specifically designed to generate new business for its members through regular meetings run in a structured manner, with each “chapter” having only one member from each profession. These chapters act as the “sales force” for all the professionals in the group, to provide qualified business referrals for each other.
Business Networking International (BNI) is the largest business and professional networking organization in the world. BNI currently has over 5,000 chapters and over 100,000 members in 37 countries worldwide. In 2008, BNI members passed over 5.5 million referrals, which generated $2.2 billion worth of business for its members. BNI will typically increase your business by 10%-25% in the first year, and can increase your business over time by 50% or more. It operates on the “Givers Gain” philosophy that those who give business freely to others will benefit in return and get business as well.
The BNI Mid-Day Power Partners chapter would love to have you join us to find out if a structured, network marketing group is right for you to grow your business during this challenging economy. You are invited to attend a chapter meeting. This event is designed to give you an overview of BNI and the principles of referral marketing. Remember to bring 50 business cards to pass around, as you will meet many other local business professionals. We invite you to visit our chapter website to get more general information on BNI and to see a list of our current membership. Visit our website at http://www.bnimiddaypowerpartners.com/meeting_rsvp.htm to RSVP or obtain more information.
Our normal weekly meetings are held Mondays from noon to 1:30 p.m. BNI also has several other chapters in Sonoma County which meet during the morning on various days of the week, should our meeting time not suit your schedule.
We look forward to meeting with you!
