Joining BNI Walpole...
We’re actively looking for new members. We can promise you exposure to local business people who’ll chase selling opportunities for you among their hundreds of contacts. But BNI only allows one member from each trade or profession to join a chapter, so check whether you’ll be fortunate enough to be accepted.
To teach business professionals that the word-of-mouth networking is more about farming than it is hunting: it's about the cultivation of professional relationships in a structured business environment for the mutual benefit of all.
Being a member of a BNI chapter is not a right - it is a professional networking group that expects it's members to operate in a highly ethical and committed manner.
By becoming a member of a chapter, you are showing a commitment to the success of the chapter. Remember the concept of givers gain and membership of BNI will prove to be a financially illustrious venture.
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.
Networking requires commitment. The most successful chapters of BNI are comprised of participants who are sincerely committed to helping one another through networking. They are a team. As a participant in BNI, you are responsible for complying with the policies and guidelines of the organization. A partial list of the policies of BNI are listed below:
