“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 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!”
“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.”
“BNI has helped me grow, both personally and professionally! I feel comfortable inducing myself and public speaking (well more comfortable!!) Having a network of business professionals to lean on is the best…The referrals that come are just gravy!! BNI is perfect for companies like Sparkling Clean to get the word out about quality and local services!”
“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”
“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.”
“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.”
“Love how BNI Maine has helped SocialManas Digital Marketing Agency grow. We love the connections and referrals we’ve received AND given. BNI has definitely helped our bottom line. In fact, we earned back our annual dues in the first month. So far in 2021 BNI has driven almost 10% of our revenue. Well worth the investment.”
