BNI (Business Networking International) has been very good for our business, and it may be good for yours too. Results don’t happen over night; it takes time to build credibility, usually around a year, and then the leads start.

I am a member of the Crossroads Connections chapter of BNI. We meet weekly on Wednesdays from 7:30-9:00am at The Terrace at Beverwyck in Slingerlands (about 5 minutes from Albany). We currently have 21 talented members who I happily refer to anyone needing their services. What I really like is they are not only professionals I respect, they are very nice people.

Our chapter is focused on doing more business and we are actively looking for quality, growth-oriented businesspeople in the Capital Region to join our group. BNI is not for everyone, but those who embrace the process and the early mornings find every meeting a rewarding and educational experience.

BNI
BNI is a business networking group based on education, communication, camaraderie and referrals.   When you participate in BNI, you are building a team of supportive business partners who act as advisors, mentors, and salespeople dedicated to spreading your business message throughout the community.

The list of categories below is just a sample of the industry professionals we are looking for.  Everyone is welcome and we are happy to have you visit! Visiting is a great way to check out the group and the process.

I don’t go to business events just to get out of the office; I want to grow our business and grow as a professional… After a little over a year as a member,  I can honestly say that I look forward to our BNI meetings every single week.  We laugh, we exchange ideas, we pass referrals… It really is amazing the business you can do when you trust and respect the people you meet with.  Joining BNI has been one of my best decisions.

Check our our Chapter’s website: www.BNICrossroadsConnections.com for more information. (I designed it.)
And Contact Me for more details! Hopefully I’ll see you at a meeting soon…
Thank you!
P.S. Many thanks to fellow member Ryan Hanley for the idea for this blog post, and to Pat Green for spurring us on.
