Past and Present Member Testimonials
The Excellence in Networking Chapter has helped grow my business substantially. Since joining this BNI Chapter, I have achieved MDRT (Million Dollar Round Table) level production which represents the top 3-8% of financial service professionals in my industry. This chapter is energetic, professional, and results oriented.
I have been a member of Excellence in Networking for 7 years. Over the years, BNI has helped me to win a corporate trip, various promotion contests and land my biggest small business deal of over $500,000.00. It just seems that when ever I don't know where the next deal is coming from BNI has it waiting for me. The friends I have developed over the years through BNI is a side benefit. If cold calling isn't your thing, come visit us!!
I have been a member of Excellence in Networking for over six years. I joined BNI as a Marketing consultant and a member of the chapter referred me to Main Street Power Mail who became a client and six months later offered me a full time job where I am now Director of Sales. Excellence in Networking BNI chapter is provides me with 30-35% of my sales. A recent paycheck had 10 commission sales, 8 of which came from BNI. BNI works.
I had heard colleagues and friends tell me the success they had as members of a BNI chapter. However, I never imagined that I would see such great results so quickly when I was lucky enough to join the Excellence in Networking chapter last year. Immediately upon joining, I made it my goal to have a one-to-one meeting as soon as possible with as many members as possible. By talking to members and getting to know more about them, I was able to feel confident in passing referrals to my chapter members. In turn, those members learned more about me and my business that gave them the confidence to pass new clients on to me. In my first year alone I closed roughly $700,000 in new business that was a direct result of BNI. BNI truly works!
About 50% of my annual business has come from the relationships that I have built over the 6 years that I have been a member of this BNI group. Not only have I gained more business, but the level of expertise in the group that I can pass forward to my clients has greatly increased my credibility as a person who can support them and provide answers to THEIR business challenges.
