One of the first tasks of the new chapter President Dr. Serge Lanoue was to give the Notable Networker Award to Balbir Pabila, who has invited the most visitors in the past 6 months.

Balbir's unrelenting pursuit of inviting visitors to our chapter stems from her involvement in many different business networking groups where she promotes her products and services as an independent Arbonne consultant. She leverages her contacts in these groups to find business owners in Mississauga and Brampton who are interested in growing their business through referrals.

Cheering Balbir on in the background is the new Secretary-Treasurer Krishna Menon.

Contact Balbir to find out how to grow your business through referrals and how to invite visitors!

There was a great turnout for the Grow Your Business Through Referrals event - aka Visitor Day - at BNI Leading Edge this morning. Altogether about 35 people attended to discuss business, explore opportunities and to exchange business referrals. 

Attendees from Mississauga, Brampton and even Toronto mingled and interacted, referrals and testimonials were given - exemplifying what word-of-mouth marketing is all about and how it helps grow our businesses.

Photos of the event can be seen on our Facebook page.
