The World\'s Biggest BNI (Business Network International) Breakfast
The world\'s largest business referral organization BNI (Business Network International) is hosting its first Big Breakfast meeting ever held in Canada. The event will take place on April 25, 2006 at 7 AM, at the Premiere Ballroom and Convention Centre, 9019 Leslie Street, Richmond Hill, Ontario. The founder of BNI, Dr. Ivan Misner will be presenting via live videoconferencing from the BNI\'s International Headquarters in California.
The meeting will bring together approximately 400 members, from 18 local BNI chapters in Ontario. This event will give the BNI members an opportunity to increase their referral pool and network with other chapters. In addition, the BNI chapters with the most referrals will be recognized for being the top networkers within the past year. BNI is now the world\'s largest referral organization with over 4,200 chapters in 28 countries around the globe. It was started in 1985 by Dr. Ivan Misner, one of the world\'s leading experts in networking, word-of-mouth marketing and author of many best selling books on Referral Marketing. Back then, Dr. Misner was a management consultant and needed more clients for his business. When he looked at where his best clients came from, he realized that most of them were referrals. Dr. Misner put together a networking group that was structured, focused on doing business, and had an emphasis on positive reinforcement and support. That organization became BNI. Last year BNI members passed over 4.4 million referrals. This translated into over 1.7 billion USD worth of business for the members. BNI is a professional marketing organization specializing in word-of-mouth referrals. BNI\'s proprietary business networking strategy allows one person per business specialty in each chapter. Fellow BNI members carry business cards of the other members with them, and keep their eyes and ears open for business opportunities for each other. BNI members are able to pass on business cards along with strong testimonials and recommendations. To an entrepreneur or a business owner, it\'s like having a team of sales people working to promote their business.
BNI\'s unique formula offers a cost effective form of referral generation. BNI\'s structured system of giving and receiving referrals creates a supportive and trusting environment for developing serious business relationships. The relationships developed in BNI will convert network contacts into referred business.
