“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❤️”
“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!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“This is my first experience with BNI and I can say it’s truly an amazing experience. I love the trainings they offer and the wide variety of people you get to meet. the resources that BNI has are unbelievable. I highly recommend BNI to any business that wants to grow.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Thanks to the new leadership team at BNI Maine for creating such good energy, giving us guidance, and helping all members grow their business. I have been a proud member of the Portland Business Builders BNI Chapter and it has been great connecting with like-minded business owners who all work together to reach goals.”
“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.”
