“I am so grateful to have a group of trusted business professionals that I can call on when I need anything for myself, my family or my clients. Becoming apart of this organization just a few months ago has made such an impact on my business and the relationships alone are invaluable. From the members in my group to the connections that you can make in other chapters takes it the extra mile. If you are looking at this trying to decide if it is a good fit or just want to learn more feel free to connect with me! “

“I have worked for Pine Tree Cellular in Waterville for 4 years now and since my start I have been attending with Elm City Referral Source BNI chapter. Because of this I have been able to see the help this opportunity provides to growing businesses right from the get go. The chapter members are amazing people, that genuinely care about helping each other grow. I would and have highly recommended BNI to business owners, whether they are just starting up or been in business for years.”

“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.”

“I love being a realtor and helping all my clients through their transactions. But real estate is very competitive and everyone seems to know a few realtors. So how do I stand out and try to grow my business?! By joining this amazing group and BNI experience! BNI has helped me meet new people and businesses across Maine. With just 1 referral/closed business, my membership is paid for, yet I still show up each week to keep growing and to help other local businesses grow. This platform has been amazing for me to grow as an individual and a real estate agent. I am breaking out of my shell and connecting with numerous people statewide. This has been a great experience and I recommend any business looking to grow to attend a meeting and see what it is all about!”

“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.”

“How much would you pay to have a sales and referral staff of more than 20 people? BNI Maine is specifically geared towards growing my business and finding the right clientele that I wish to work with. Each week I work with my chapter to educate them on who I’m looking to help and ways that I can help them. Then there is 20+ people looking for those referrals each and every day, to help me grow my business.
The team at BNI Maine cares about helping you grow your business and improving your business. I’ve learned so many things from the basics of networking to industry-specific areas in which my business can help their clients and in turn grow my business. There is nothing like BNI or this team, it’s the best way to grow your business, hands down! My only regret is I wish I would have joined earlier.”

“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❤️”
