“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.”

“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”

“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.”

“I was first invited to attend a BNI meeting early this year and was just so impressed with the group. They were so welcoming, professional, and ready to connect. It was great to make connections with them, so much so that I kept going back! I have been a member for several months now, and BNI has helped my business, Pickle’s Potions, grow. The networking that this group provides is priceless.
I am proud to be a member.”
