Networking

BNI was established in 1985, an established business and professional organisation that allows only one person from each trade or profession to join a chapter. With over 535 active chapters in the UK & Ireland and 12,000 UK members, it is the most successful business referral organisation in the world. It was due to local demand that Harbour BNI was started in 2002 and has been growing ever since.

Belonging to BNI is like having a strong sales force working for you, because all the other members carry copies of your card to give to potential customers. When they meet someone new that could use your products or services they hand out your card and personally recommend your services.

Good Referrals offer the opportunity to do business with someone who is in the market to buy your product or service. Although not a guaranteed sale, a good referral is an open door to discuss your business with someone who is interested in your product or service. Each member knows many other people and this extended network is a rich database of potential business available to members of BNI.

Word Of Mouth is the most effective form of advertising possible. BNI provides a structured environment for the development and exchange of quality referrals. The average chapter of 40 members gives over 60 referrals per month to its members. Harbour BNI although smaller than the average group, manage an average of 64 referrals each month.

BNI concept being "If I give you business, you'll give me business and we'll both benefit as a result." Visit Harbour BNI to see this in action!

BNI provides a structured and supportive system of giving and receiving business by providing an environment in which you develop personal relationships with dozens of other qualified business professionals. By establishing this "formal" relationship with other people, you will have the opportunity to substantially increase your business.

If you are looking to expand your business and would like to come along, please contact Harbour BNI via email to our Membership Co-ordinator to reserve your place. Attendance fee is £7.50 payable on the door, which includes a full English breakfast.
