“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 very positive impact on our business and we have already seen our business grow after becoming a member. As a member of the Bangor Breakfast Chapter, I want to thank all of the members for a warm welcome and for the support after becoming a member. The group is very well organized and really engaged in passing referrals between the members. I previously was a member of BNI in 2005 and some of the same people in the group are still members of BNI today. This says a lot about the power and benefits of being a BNI member!

I look forward to being a part of BNI for many years to come!”

“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!”

“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.”

“It’s been 9 months since I had the honor and privilege of taking upon the position of store manager for TD Bank. I am so fortunate that our store has seen tremendous growth over this time frame, and although many factors contributed to that growth joining one of the local Bangor BNI chapters has been critical. BNI stands for business networking International. If you can Imagine the power of having 52 like minded business professionals committed to referring business to one another then you will begin to understand the power of this amazing networking group. This Friday we are having our visitor day at the Ramada Inn in Brewer which gives businesses the opportunity to come see why so many business owners who have joined have renewed year after year. In only 9 months BNI member referrals have brought in an additional $47,500 in business to my store. Our chapter is always on the search for new members that are interested in growing their business by working smarter not harder.”

“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.”

“BNI came into my life when I was a very new financial advisor. The process, the people, the networking and the learning and growing have helped propel my business forward. Whenever I speak to a new business owner or a business owner looking to grow their business, BNI is the first thing that comes to mind and out of my mouth. The relationships built and the marketing team trained are my two favorite pieces of BNI. I don’t hesitate to rejoin each year and Duncklee & Nott is proud to be a member!”
