“BNI Maine listened to local professional and worked on starting a lunch time chapter in the Bangor area. As a busy working mom, this was just the opportunity I needed to give it a try. I enjoy meeting with like-minded professionals every week to learn about their businesses. I appreciate the free education provided by BNI to its members. I like the relationships I’ve built both inside and outside of the chapter. I look forward to the presentations each week and learning how to become a better networker for my chapter’s members.”

“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❤️”

“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.”

“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.”
