In times of doom and gloom, it is refreshing to hear of organisations flourishing - which is the case with chapters of BNI (Business Network International), the world’s largest business referral organisation.

BNI , which has been around for 13 years in Australia, not only lets others know about your business, it transforms your outlook on your personal and business skills.
Membership helps you to discover your true potential, become more outgoing and positive, develops your presentational and networking skills, and boosts your confidence.

"BNI follows a proven formula that succeeds all around the world, and is definitely worth a look. Come and join us for breakfast and see what you think," said Tony Benner, Executive Director for BNI Sydney Inner West.

“Currently, we are receiving an increased number of inquiries about joining a structured networking group as Sydney business people review their promotional strategies.”

"BNI works for thousands of business people, from all fields - banking, accountancy, law, retail and the construction industry."

BNI’s newest chapter meets every Tuesday morning at Dolsissimo Restaurant in Haberfield, starting at 7:30am and concluding business by 9:00am.

Organised by a supportive membership committee and dedicated leadership team bringing fun and humour to business, meetings for the members are efficient, active and friendly.

During the meeting, each chapter member is allocated 60 seconds to promote their business and needs in a clear and concise presentation, with a 10-minute opportunity given twice yearly.

Similar meetings are held for other BNI chapters, three meeting in Concord, plus another in Haberfield and one at Rhodes Shopping Centre.

Chapter members are also encouraged to take the opportunity to learn more about each other, and their businesses, in a one-hour, one-to-one meeting, where goals, accomplishments, interests, skills and other networks can be discussed in more depth.

"This increases understanding of what each party needs and helps build relationships.”
