“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 Maine has shown me an ultra-effective, fun, and connected way to grow my business, while building an aligned community of other motivated, ambitious professionals and business owners.
Wish I had done this years ago!”
“Since joining BNI, I have gained knowledge, more clients, community connections and friends. I can’t say enough about what BNI has done for me and I am truly grateful for all of it! I am a “lifer” for sure!”
“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.”
“I was first invited to attend a BNI meeting early this year and was just so impressed with the group. They were so welcoming, professional, and ready to connect. It was great to make connections with them, so much so that I kept going back! I have been a member for several months now, and BNI has helped my business, Pickle’s Potions, grow. The networking that this group provides is priceless.
I am proud to be a member.”
“As a small business, BNI Maine has been immensely beneficial to our growth. Networking is everything, from both growing out knowledge as a provider and also as ways to generate fantastic clients. We highly recommend this for small, growing businesses.”
“We were looking to grow our business with more referrals and joining BNI Network has not disappointed! It is like we gained a 56 member sales team that isn’t on payroll. It has allowed us to grow faster even through a pandemic.”
“As a financial advisor, my entire business is referral-based. When I was introduced to BNI over 17 years ago it seemed a natural fit. Little did I know it would take 13 months to get my first referral and that was to a client in CT. We drove 1.5 hrs to meet halfway and closed the business resulting in a $5000 commission. Since that time I have helped my members put over a million dollars in their pockets and they have done the same for me! The Givers Gain philosophy really works!”
“Being a new startup business and looking for a way to increase referrals BNI Maine has been a great move. The members are great to bounce ideas off of and act as mentors to make everyone successful.”
“BNI has not only introduced me to a dedicated group of professionals but through it, I have sharpened my communication skills and grown my business. I highly recommend this organization!”
