How to survive a recession
The Star
Tuesday September 25, 2001



"Networking is far from peaking...[People] need to network to get business."


(CANADA)
"The number of referrals I’ve gotten just from the group is incredible…The meetings follow a standard format because group members don’t want them to become a chatty social event."




"Ivan Misner [Founder of BNI] says, Word-of-Mouth marketing is a lot like farming, it’s based on slow, nurturing care."




"We’ve had some tremendous stories. There is a printer in our group who met a real estate agent…That agency wanted to switch its printing and gave him this job...It was more than a $100,000 job"



"With many small businesses scrambling to weather the recession, the networking business is thriving...Business people realize that in this tough economy they’ve got to do some extra things."


Business Weekly
"Business Network Int’l... an organization that offers highly motivated business people a weekly no-nonsense breakfast meeting that virtually guarantees them customer leads."




"BNI, a networking organization whose chief purpose is to produce sales referrals for its members...they are here to help you make money."



"Members of Indianapolis-area networking (groups) agree ... It has been very good ... members generated more than 304,000 referrals for each other. Those produced a little more than $106 million (for members), Misner said."



"The group has become one of the largest networking organizations in the country...Networking and bringing members sales referrals is the purpose of the group...Members commit to showing up to the weekly meetings with "hot" sales referrals for other members."



"Business owners dedicated to helping each other every week with generating sales referrals...The members are your sales force as well as your customers...Not just a coffee clatch...If you join a group like this, you are joining to generate business referrals."




"To make the most of business mixers, take these tips from...BNI."



"It’s the value of the seat that attracts people...BNI gives a structured format for referral passing."




"BNI, a business contacts generating organization...generate contacts for thousands of business [people] who need networking to grow."




"Word-of-Mouth referrals are powerful…you have to learn that giving others business leads will encourage them to direct business your way, too, when there’s an opportunity. Members bring business leads for other members every week."




"This is a way for people to give referrals to each other…a 15 member BNI chapter generates 45 to 50 monthly business referrals for members…With 30 members the number triples."
