Referrals, not just networking
Traditional networking often stops at introductions. BNI adds accountability: members track Thank You For Closed Business (TYFCB) and referrals, so the room optimises for results over attendance numbers.
BNI explained
What is BNI?
BNI (Business Network International) is the world's largest referral networking organisation. Chapters meet weekly so members learn each other's businesses and pass qualified referrals — not just collect contacts.
