Here is a new BNI Leading Edge chapter photo highlighting some of our members as well as distinguished guests that were present at our meeting.

If your business depends on referrals for growth, then BNI Leading Edge is where you want to be! Our members help one another grow our respective businesses by exchanging referrals, so if you live by BNI's motto "Givers Gain" then join us for one of our weekly meetings and see for yourself how BNI can help grow your business.

Dr. Ivan Misner, founder of BNI, says: "I've noticed that people in business networking groups have a tendency to "sell" to others in the group."

We've all been to those networking meetings where everyone is out to sell but nobody is listening or looking to truly understand each others' business and exchange meaningful information.

In his blog, Are you Selling to Your Network? Well, Don't!, Dr. Misner highlights the 3+1 process of networking to educate your network on the types of referrals you are looking for.

How successful do you want to be?

Dr. Ivan Misner - BNI's founder - conducted a study whereby people who spent on avergae 6.5 hours of networking per week were more successful, and acquired half of their clients from their networking efforts.

A key component was to build the relationship with the other person first, then approach the business side of things. This is perfectly in line with BNI's approach of starting with building relationships between its members through one-on-one business-building interviews, and business flows once that connection has been established.
