“BNI Maine is a wonderful organization. Using it for your business is a great way to grow through referrals. There is a tremendous amount of training available for all levels of experience from rookie to seasoned professional. The various chapters meet weekly and share information about their business. Through a structured set of one on ones, your chapter gets to know you and you get to know them as friends and family. Giving referrals is as important as receiving referrals and BNI Maine instills the Givers Gain philosophy. Sometimes you need to give some first, but with trust and hard work, you gain it back both in trust, friendship and referrals.”
“BNI Maine has helped not only my business grow to lengths I never though would be possible so quickly, but it has also helped my confidence personally. Getting to share my work each and every week with a group of like minded and driven people is very motivating. I look forward to each and every meeting to share what Northstar Mortgage is doing around the community. If you’re curious about BNI, visit a meeting ASAP!”
“BNI Maine is a fun, energetic, successful group of individuals who truly care about each other and achieving their goals. There are great referrals being passed almost on a daily basis with closed business announced at each meeting. If you are looking to grow your business, BNI is definitely the way to go. It has changed the way that I do business even having been in my field for 10 years. Go visit”
“Through #BNIMaine I’ve learned how to describe Words@Work in less than 60 seconds. I’ve learned the value of having a specific list of prospects and most important – I’ve discovered how much I love connecting people who can help each other.”
“As a small business, BNI Maine has been immensely beneficial to our growth. Networking is everything, from both growing out knowledge as a provider and also as ways to generate fantastic clients. We highly recommend this for small, growing businesses.”
“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!”
“Growth of your business thru referral marketing. I have been a member of Bangor Breakfast BNI since 2008. I have grown my business, learned how to network effectively, and been mentored by several members. BNI has been invaluable to my company and myself.”
“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.”
“Since joining BNI, I have gained knowledge, more clients, community connections and friends. I can’t say enough about what BNI has done for me and I am truly grateful for all of it! I am a “lifer” for sure!”
“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!”
“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.”
