“I started my videography business in 2020 and I had all the feelings you’d expect when going off on your own for the first time. But someone from BNI reached out to me and invited me in and that weight of anxiety has been completely lifted. All the BNI members that I have met have been there to help, encourage, and teach me and it has been an amazing experience. I’ve been lucky enough to go around to various BNI members and talk about their experiences in BNI and I’ve heard enough to know that my experience is not a unique one. Without fail, each member has spoken about their chapter as a family and for me that’s the power of BNI. It creates a safe place where we can support, encourage and hold each other accountable, just like a family would and I am so lucky to be a part of that.”
“Thanks to the new leadership team at BNI Maine for creating such good energy, giving us guidance, and helping all members grow their business. I have been a proud member of the Portland Business Builders BNI Chapter and it has been great connecting with like-minded business owners who all work together to reach goals.”
“Growth of your business thru referral marketing. I have been a member of Bangor Breakfast BNI since 2008. I have grown my business, learned how to network effectively, and been mentored by several members. BNI has been invaluable to my company and myself.”
“BNI has helped our business grow on many levels! BNI has helped with our networking, expanding our customer base, and has and will continue to help us grow! With being able to meet with 30+ different business owners/employees, it has opened us up to a whole new world of business!”
“BNI has consistently helped me grow my business and is a necessity in my marketing strategy. The positive environment and outstanding resources allow me to have make new connections every week. Anyone looking to grow their business in a fun way should consider attending a chapter meeting.”
“BNI is not only responsible for introducing me to half of my currently clients, the members of BNI have helped me through personal and professional challenges. Knowing so many professionals from all different industries has been an asset to me, my clients and my business.”
“I don’t know about all the history of BNI but I can attest to what it’s done for my business. Over the past year we’ve gone from startup to a small scale company looking to hire employees. On the personal side I’ve made friends and business partners that I’ll have for decades, and it wouldn’t have been accomplished without BNI. If you’re looking to network with like minded people BNI is second to none.”
“BNI came into my life when I was a very new financial advisor. The process, the people, the networking and the learning and growing have helped propel my business forward. Whenever I speak to a new business owner or a business owner looking to grow their business, BNI is the first thing that comes to mind and out of my mouth. The relationships built and the marketing team trained are my two favorite pieces of BNI. I don’t hesitate to rejoin each year and Duncklee & Nott is proud to be a member!”
“BNI Maine has had a very positive impact on our business and we have already seen our business grow after becoming a member. As a member of the Bangor Breakfast Chapter, I want to thank all of the members for a warm welcome and for the support after becoming a member. The group is very well organized and really engaged in passing referrals between the members. I previously was a member of BNI in 2005 and some of the same people in the group are still members of BNI today. This says a lot about the power and benefits of being a BNI member!
I look forward to being a part of BNI for many years to come!”
