“BNI has helped me develop strong working relationships with other business owners across the state. This has helped me in closing sales faster in my consulting business, Briggs Solutions for Business, because I’m able to provide valuable references and get great referrals. I’ve also learned a lot from other members about how to run a successful business. It’s an early Friday morning but it’s always worth it!”

“I started my business Bean Data fulltime in 2012. After a few years, my business started to plateau. One of my clients asked me how business was progressing. I stated that any forward momentum seems to have stalled. He suggested that I attend a BNI meeting. Initially, I resisted, but after him asking again I attended and found that it was the best thing I could have done! Every year since 2015 because of BNI my business has grown 10-20% per year by being active in BNI working with my chapter as well as the BNI Maine Region. Like anything, if you put in the time, effort and hard work you will reap the benefits. BNI is not a magic wand, but if you use the tools and interact with the global network of members that BNI is composed of you will prosper!”

“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!”

Videographer

“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.”
