You don't buy a newspaper ... you buy news.
You don't buy glasses ... you buy better vision.
You don't buy an awning ... you buy shade.
You don't buy a drill bit ... you buy the holes it makes.
You don't buy a mattress ... you buy sleeping comfort.
You don't buy a lamp ... you buy light to read by.
... When you join an organization, you don't buy membership ... you buy co-operation with other people to help you accomplish goals you can't achieve alone.

 We are the Coastal Chapter of BNI in CT. We meet on Tuesdays at 7:30 am at Flanders Fish Market in East Lyme, CT.
The purpose of our chapter is to practice the givers gain philosophy of business networking, by helping professionals achieve business growth through qualified word-of-mouth referrals, education, training and modeling.
Each week we exchange referrals such as the one to the right.
Belonging to BNI is like having dozens of sales people working for you…
…because all of them carry several copies of your business cards around with them. When they meet someone who could use your products or services, they hand out your card and recommend you.* It's as simple as that! It's simple because it's based on a proven concept by BNI Founder, Dr Ivan Misner, called givers gain. If I give you business you'll give me business and we'll both benefit as a result.
Last year, members of BNI passed over two million referrals…
…which generated over a billion dollars' (U.S.) worth of business for the members! BNI is a business and professional networking organization that allows only one person per professional classification or specialty to join a chapter.
Would you like to increase your business by 20%, 30%, 50% or as much as 100%?
You can see results like this! Many have. Some participants have added as many as 50 new clients in the first 2 years!!! Successful businesses depend on word of mouth. Word-of-mouth advertising is the best advertising there is.
BNI provides a structured and supportive system of giving and receiving business.
It does so by providing an environment in which you develop personal relationships with dozens of other qualified business professionals. By establishing this formal relationship with other people, you will have the opportunity to substantially increase your business.
Word of Mouth is the most cost-effective form of advertising possible. BNI provides a structured environment for the development and exchange of quality business referrals for both men and women. If referrals are an important part of your business, then BNI is the organization for you.
(*) Note, some professions, specifically attorneys and certain health care professionals, may not be permitted to seek direct referrals through in-person solicitation through the use of business cards pursuant to their ethical code. Members of BNI that belong to these professions are directed to follow their profession's own ethical guidelines.
