“BNI has helped me grow my art business and become a better speaker, networker and business owner! Can’t say enough good things about it! So glad I found this wonderful organization!
Thank you BNI!”
“BNI Maine goes the extra mile to help small businesses continually grow to reach their goals! Thanks for everything you do to help make all of our businesses better! Together we can accomplish anything!”
“I have been a member of BNI for 16 years. This organization has been a major contributor to help me build Bernatche Auto Body to what it is today! I cannot wait to see where we will grow together in the next 16 years.”
“I’m just about to start my 3rd year with BNI this spring with my chapter Successful Business Partners. To say BNI has helped my business would be an understatement, BNI has SAVED my business. I’m a photographer and when I moved to Oxford Hills I quickly learned that establishing a client base in a small community is hard work with so many other talented people to compete with. If it weren’t for the trust and friendships I have built with my BNI family, and the business they bring me I don’t want to even think about where I might be! I recently got an email from a BNI member in Latvia!!! Interested in selling my images on their canvases! BNI has taught me more then I could ever ask and given me connections and job opportunities I never thought I would have”
“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!”
“To share my story of why I am a BNI member. I have worked selling many different business services most of my life. I was good at it but I always wanted to be a full time artist. I had joined BNI when I was working for one of them. I was frustrated again with what I was selling so I brought into my BNI meeting one of my paintings and said and I also do this… Many of the members said “I want one”, “I know someone who would want one”. And my art business started. I have gotten trainings, support and education on how to build my business from BNI and BNI members. I’ve learned how to promote my art and make it a full time gig. Without BNI I would never have achieved my big hairy goal and become a full time artist. Mainehomeportraitartist.com. I am so thankful!!”
“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!”
“In 2010 I was working part time at a camera store and my wedding and portrait business was struggling at just below a poverty income. Every mom and uncle with a nice camera was shooting weddings for way less than I was charging. I joined Profit Partners, a BNI Maine Chapter and at the suggestion of a long time member, I shifted genres and my business began to take off with a LOT of referrals. If all continues as it has the last several years, by the end of 2020, referrals from BNI Maine will have put more than $1,000,000 into my business accounts. 100% of that has come from the referrals and training I’ve received from this excellent organization. BNI Maine absolutely changed my life and the lives of my family. Relationship based referral marketing is the key to success for me. I’ll be a member for life.”
“BNI has been an incredible resource for our business, Maine Ride Detailing. I not only look forward to our meetings every week, I also love getting to know all of our awesome referral partners during the times in between. We’ve built many relationships within our local business community since joining a little over two year ago, with connections throughout Maine and beyond! I can honestly say that our company would not be where it is today without BNI. Givers gain is not just a motto, it really is a way of conducting business that has produced results for us, our company, and many many other local business!”
“Since joining BNI I have made so many amazing connections and lifelong friends. I would recommend BNI to anyone who wants to grow their business and meet some amazing people!”
“I definitely recommend BNI! BNI Maine has helped me grow as an entrepreneur immensely! I have become more confident in what I’m looking for as far as clients and how I can share that information with others so they can keep an ear out for me! I have started to grow my client base and hope to keep going that way! If anyone wants to talk travel, let me know! amanda.kearns@milnetravel.com After being in BNI for almost 5 years, I can say that my list of connections and referral partners is still growing!”
