My BNI Story
...and much, much more.

I own a business coaching and an Internet retail business (BillSmith, LLC). BNI has not only increased my bottom line but also enhanced my public speaking skills, social life and my family’s involvement in our community.

Prior to the recession, I got my business mostly from search engine rankings and few sales from strategic partnerships. 2009 was especially challenging for my business; not only were we [...]

 

My BNI Story

In November 2011, I participated in a charity cycle ride from Angkor to Saigon. While taking a break from the trek and sightseeing on November 20th, I received a phone call. I considered ignoring the call, but instead took it. It was Elton John looking for a special first birthday present for his son, Zachary, who was born Christmas Day 2010.

He heard about Treehouse Life [...]

 

My BNI Story

Back in July of 2010, my web development firm (e9digital) lost out on a big contract—which I was sure we were going to land. I suddenly realized the need to add other marketing methods to land more clients. That’s when Josh Doyle invited me to visit Manhattan Chapter 62.

In that first meeting, I really saw the power of BNI, so I put in my application [...]

 

My BNI Story

A few weeks ago on my way to our BNI chapter meeting, I was following a van advertising a business not represented in our group. I called his cell and told him about BNI, and invited him to the meeting. That morning he was too busy to visit, but we exchanged cards. He came the next week, loved us and is about to become a [...]

My BNI Story

My husband joined BNI in April of 2007. We were so successful, I was able to leave my corporate job to work my holistic pet food business full time. But there was a catch...I had to take over the BNI spot each week. I didn't like speaking in front of people, but I quickly grew to love the group and became MI Metro Novi's President [...]

 

My BNI Story

We are a New Letting Agency based in the High Wycombe area of Buckinghamshire in the UK. We joined BNI last November and since being members we tracked the value of our referrals and as at the end of 2011 40% of our new Managed clients had come through BNI allowing us to go into profit in our first year, something we had not budgeted [...]

 

My BNI Story

Good afternoon from the Tribesman Chapter in Galway - Ireland South & West.

I recently had to spend some time in hospital. I received an advance copy of Business Networking and Sex from Executive Directors, Andy and Sandra Hart.

As I sat in the hospital waiting room, I took out my book and started to read. Quite a number of people came and went but I knew [...]

 

My BNI Story

The day started like any other Tuesday morning: Get up early; rush to a local restaurant; join the other faithful members of the BNI Waukesha Networking Professionals chapter.  But it wasn’t an ordinary day. But it would take years before I finally realized the impact of that day.

You see, that particular Tuesday, Bill stood up to give his 60-second presentation, and he made an interesting [...]

 

My BNI Story

Before the latest international conference, Dr. Misner presented a call to action in his podcast: all members are welcome to attend the conference. It worked. I booked an earlier flight to LA from Mill Valley (SF Bay). I already was scheduled to fly on a flight later that day for a UCLA Anderson reunion to be held in Palos Verdes over the weekend. When I consulted [...]
