“Our business joined BNI in February 2021. We are receiving an average of one new referral every week! Before BNI we were averaging one new referral to our business about every 2 months! This has been a huge boost to our business. I am thankful for the business relations I am building and the growing success of our company”

“BNI is a unique and productive way to do grow your business and meet and build relationships along the way. Highly recommend checking a chapter out.”

“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!”

“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 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❤️”

“BNI has helped our business grow on many levels! BNI has helped with our networking, expanding our customer base, and has and will continue to help us grow! With being able to meet with 30+ different business owners/employees, it has opened us up to a whole new world of business!”

“I started my videography business in 2020 and I had all the feelings you’d expect when going off on your own for the first time. But someone from BNI reached out to me and invited me in and that weight of anxiety has been completely lifted. All the BNI members that I have met have been there to help, encourage, and teach me and it has been an amazing experience. I’ve been lucky enough to go around to various BNI members and talk about their experiences in BNI and I’ve heard enough to know that my experience is not a unique one. Without fail, each member has spoken about their chapter as a family and for me that’s the power of BNI. It creates a safe place where we can support, encourage and hold each other accountable, just like a family would and I am so lucky to be a part of that.”
