I never advertise, look through the business directories or indeed wonder where to obtain a service or product-I just call upon my network.100% of my business comes via referrals. It is a very enjoyable & cost effective way of doing business.

BNI works top down and bottom up as long as the members, Ad's and Ed's follow the BNI Philosophy of Givers Gain. It still is unusual in mainstream business , but in the words of the No 1 Responder Graeme, and Joan Baez ( we will overcome! ) because it works. But why is BNI still unknown to the majority of Business people? We need to continue to raise the bar, BECAUSE IT WORKS! David A.

I could get my hand on. I,ve read all of the books I could find and I have heard Zig Ziglar say many times you can have every thing ypu wantin life, if you,ll just help enough other people get what they want.There is something that makes a difference when you take the focus off of you and place it on someone else. Once I became a part of BNI,I felt that I would have the help and tools to move forward.Thank you for a fantastic system. Doctor Misner; For years I have listened to every motivational tape and c.d.

Wherever you are, whatever country, whatever language, all you have to do is follow the recipe that Ivan has developed, and BNI works. I loved this story. I really enjoyed it for several reasons; one of them is I heard Doctor Misner discussing this very story at Get Connected 09 in Florida in February for International Networking Week. The other is that for me personally, I often think that, if I had to start over from scratch with a business, I would be able to succeed, and do so rapidly, because of my membership in BNI and the incredible power and diversity of my network. After 4 years in BNI, I have truly learned the power of net-work. In my role as an Assistant Director, I start chapters in my region. I am always very aware of, and try to get across to, the new members of a new chapter how important learning the system and cultivating referral relationships is. Kudos to Dr. Misner for giving us this wonderful gift of a lifetime of endless referrals! Thanks, Ivan! BNI as a system, works.

Each week we get together so that we can equip our referral partners to go out into the unknown and make it familiar. We overcome not only communication challenges, we overcome duplication of industry. The real difference is that we are not doing this to win a game show but to help our business associates win at life. The Last Millionaire story is truely a testament to what thousands of chapters in thousands of communities duplicate every day without the benefit of television exposure. Thanks Ivan, for being way ahead of reality TV. thom monahan I would like to say how surprised I am with such a wonderful story but the fact of the matter is that we do the same thing every week right here in Montgomery,OH.

I can see this becoming a regular occurrence as the network develops and we add the social media tools via BNI Connect. We just had our National conference on last week and international directors can not get over the quality and size of businesses involved here in India. This will no doubt multiply the kind of opportunities and value we are able to generate for business owners. AMAZING!
