Why should you join BNI?

• BNI is a professional marketing organisation which helps members build business through word of mouth referrals which is generally acknowledged as the best form of marketing and promotion there is. The BNI philosophy is based on the simple slogan "Givers Gain". This means if I give you business you'll work hard to find business for me!

• Because giving referrals is the cornerstone of membership, everyone in the chapter becomes a virtual sales team for the other members. Your fellow members will be carrying your cards and referring your business to people they meet. You gain an extremely motivated sales team at minimal cost to your business.

• Only 1 person from each profession is permitted to join a chapter of BNI so members lock out their competition from joining their own groups.

• BNI provide regular training events to help members develop networking and presentation skills which ensure they get the best out of their membership. These events are only available to BNI members.

At BNI Whisky Chapter we provide a welcoming and friendly environment where local business people can get together and build long term working relationships under the "Givers Gain" principle.  Why don't you come along and find out how this could benefit your business - to attend one of our meetings as a visitor click here.
