“BNI Maine has had a dramatic effect on my business as an affiliate of LifeVantage. Not only have I grown my business skills through BNI Portland Business Builders and all the world class trainings they offer, my network is now global, and networking has been made simple and accessible during this Pandemic. One of the unexpected pluses that I hadn’t expected was making a new circle of close friends. During the time of the Pandemic my business has doubled and my confidence as a business owner has grown dramatically. BNI Maine necessitates an investment of time and energy in others “Givers Gain” and I wouldn’t have it any other way❤️”

“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!”

“BNI is a referral network like no other. You can’t get state of the art training-in person and online, accountability, professionalism, and frankly-friendships, like BNI provides. It’s more than business growth; though that’s unmatched as well, it’s the ability to be instrumental in your group’s business growth through the givers gain! My employer, as well as manager, we’re not sold on BNI and all it was said to entail. I asked for an opportunity to see if perhaps I could change their mind. In 4 months I have closed $974,000 in business as a direct result from my BNI networking relationships. I’ve connected with folks I never would have had the opportunity or even thought to have connected with, I’ve learned a great deal from the training, and my professional growth has been a wonderful secondary side effect.”

“BNI Maine is great for networking with a purpose, building a strong referral network based on genuine relationships. It’s a great way to grow your business in a sustainable way, and have a supportive group of fellow entrepreneurs who believe in collaboration over competition.”

“BNI Maine is the reason my business is 10 years old. When I started The Back Office Expert, it was on the advice of friends and family. I thought, sure, I’ll give it a try; if it doesn’t work, I’ll go find a job. Luckily, I found BNI 4 months after I started my bookkeeping practice and I’ve never looked back. I have part-time employees, over 70 clients, and the phone never stops ringing.”

“One of the hardest things about being self employed is the networking, growing my business, and feeling a part of something bigger. BNI Maine checks all those boxes. The #giversgain mindset is focused on helping others and in return, you get what you give. BNI provides all the knowledge and tools you need to become successful and to help businesses and like-minded professionals grow, too. I have learned to be a better speaker, ask for what I want more clearly. It has challenged me to dive into my work, my processes, and my goals more honestly. My fellow Queen City BNI – Brewer members have expanded my thoughts as far as what is possible and are truly becoming more than just other business owners, they are becoming friends. I look forward to the networking each week, learning what my fellow members need and how I can help them fulfill their needs.”
