BNI BOOSTS BUSINESS NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES WITH RECORD NUMBER OF VISITORS
CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- BNI® (Business Network International), the world's largest business referral organization, announced that it has broken a new record for the number of unique visitors attending its networking meetings. With over 22,000 visitors in a single week, BNI is proud to have increased business networking opportunities for professionals across the globe. This milestone achievement marks the highest number of visitors in a week since BNI began reporting in 20191. The significant increase in visitors is a testament to the value of BNI's unique approach to referral networking and the growing demand for business professionals to expand their networks. Here are the top 3 reasons why more visitors mean an increase in business networking opportunities for Members and improves the overall value of the BNI membership:
- Increased Exposure and Referrals: With more visitors attending meetings, BNI Members have more opportunities to promote their business to potential customers and receive referrals from other Members and visitors.
- Strengthened Business Growth: Ultimately, the goal of BNI is to help Members grow their businesses. With more visitors attending meetings, Members have access to more resources and opportunities that can help them achieve their business goals and generate new business.
- Broadened Category Exclusivity and Complementary Categories: Visitors are the lifeblood of BNI Chapters, as they play a critical role in creating a diverse and inclusive membership that is essential for building a robust referral network. By filling in missing categories and complementary businesses, visitors help to ensure that BNI Chapters are well-rounded and comprehensive, allowing all Members to benefit from a wider range of referrals and opportunities. This not only increases the value of BNI membership, but also makes each Chapter more effective and successful in helping businesses grow and thrive.
BNI's record number of visitors reflects the growing demand for high-quality networking opportunities as entrepreneurs and business professionals seek to expand their reach and grow their customer base. By joining a BNI chapter, Members gain access to a network of professionals who are committed to helping each other succeed.
