because all the other members carry copies of your card with them. When they meet someone new that could use your products or services they hand out your card and personally recommend your services. 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.

BNI is the most successful organisation of its type in the world; there are currently thousands of chapters in operation with tens of thousands of members; members of BNI have passed millions of referrals and this translates into billions of pounds worth of business being done between the members. Of the worldwide totals, over 676,000 referrals were passed in the UK and Ireland, resulting in over £497 million worth of business for our members last year. The philosophy of BNI is based on Givers Gain – if I give you business, you will want to give me business.
