Georgetown,
TX, USA (March 29, 2013) -- The Business By Referral Chapter of
BNI
(Business Networking International) will be holding its annual
Visitors Day on April 16, 2013. The event will be held at the
Georgetown Chamber of Commerce Building from 11:30 to 1:30 PM.
Now
in its fifth year, the Georgetown Chapter of BNI exists to help
members build their businesses through referrals and personal
testimonials, the most powerful form of marketing. Every member holds
an exclusive, protected position in their category meaning that they
receive all of the referrals for that category like Residential Real
Estate, Insurance, Home Repairs or Massage Therapist for example.
The
group is seeking businesses in dozens of open categories such as:
Chiropractic and most medical categories, Air Conditioning Service,
Veterinarian, Pet Grooming, Beautician, Fitness, Interior Design,
Marriage and Family Counseling, Photography, Auto Sales and many
others.
"The
single biggest thing we did for our business was to join BNI. We have
generated thousands of dollars in sales as members in the Air
Purification category," noted Carl Braun, Vice President of
Ecomajik
Healthy Products. "You just can't beat the
personal referral when it comes to growing your business." He
added. Braun is former President of the group.
Visitors
will have a chance to network with other business owners and learn
more about BNI at the April 16th event. There is a $15 charge and
lunch is provided. Applicants to fill categories will be considered
based on their experience and local reputation.
"It
is important to all of us that we have the best and brightest in our
group. The Georgetown Chapter was just named the #1 performing
chapter in Central Texas with nearly $1 million dollars in referrals
to our members in the last twelve months. We are looking for local
businesses that share our passion for high levels of customer service
and satisfaction and will consider all of these applicants for
membership." Said Michele Jaroszewski-Webb, Chapter President
and owner of the Georgetown Schlotzsky's restaurant.

About
Business Networking International (BNI)
Our
Philosophy
The
philosophy of this organization is built upon the idea of "Givers
Gain®": By giving business to others, you will get business in
return. This is predicated on the age-old idea of "What goes
around, comes around."
Our
Mission
The
mission of BNI is to help members increase their business through a
structured, positive, and professional "word-of-mouth"
program that enables them to develop long-term, meaningful
relationships with quality business professionals.
Belonging
to BNI is like having dozens of sales people working for you...
...because
all of them carry several copies of your business cards around with
them. When they meet someone who could use your products or services,
they take out your card and recommend you.* It's as simple as that!
It's simple because it's based on a proven concept by BNI Founder,
Dr. Ivan Misner, called "Givers Gain®." If I give you
business you'll give me business and we'll both benefit as a result.
Last
year alone, members of BNI passed 7.1 million referrals...
...which
generated over $3.3 billion dollars (U.S.) worth of business for its
members! BNI is a business and professional networking organization
that allows only one person per professional classification or
specialty to join a chapter.
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.
