Welcome to the Hamden BNI Chapter

Last year, members of BUSINESS NETWORK INT’L. (BNI) passed thousands of referrals which generated millions of dollars worth of business for each other! BNI is a business and professional networking organization that allows only one person per profession to join a chapter.Belonging to BNI is like having dozens of sales people working for you because all the other members carry several copies of your business cards around with them. When they meet someone new who could use your products or service, they hand your card out and recommend your services. It’s as simple as that! It’s simple because it’s based on the proven concept of what goes around, comes around. If I help you, you’ll help me and we will both benefit as a result.

Would you like to increase your business by 20%, 30%, 50% or as much as 100%? You can see results like this! Many have. Some participants have added as many as 50 new clients in the first 2 years!!! Successful businesses depend on word of mouth. Word-of-mouth advertising is the best advertising there is.

BNI provides a structured and supportive system of giving and receiving business. It does so by providing an environment in which you develop personal relationships with dozens of other qualified business professionals. By establishing this “formal” relationship with other people, you will have the opportunity to substantially increase your business.
