BNI Mission Statement

To help members increase their business through a structured, positive and professional word-of-mouth program that enables them to develop long-term, meaningful relationships with quality business professionals.

The philosophy of BNI is built upon the idea of "Givers Gain". What we mean is what goes around comes around; if I give business to the members of my chapter, members of my chapter will, in return, pass business to me. By giving business to others, you will get business in return.

Within this framework, our goal is to educate members that networking is more about farming than it is about hunting; it’s about cultivating long term mutually beneficial business relationships!

Subsequent to this, BNI’s role is to better educate, guide and inform members in the process of developing word-of-mouth based business.

Bottom Line – BNI is about saving time and making money through the power and leverage of relationships. "Belonging to BNI is like hiring dozens of salespeople."
