I have been in the BNI just 6 months and already have had sufficient business to cover my fee and more. I am now well into plus business. I also have networked onwards through my initial BNI contacts and this is proving successful too. But it all started through the contacts made through BNI. Does it work? Definitely !

Great to see that we have some BNI naysayers from the US taking the time to add comments to the BNI NZ blog 🙂 From what I can see BizSociety.com is primarily an online community which might well be worth trying out although there does seem to be a ‘face to face’ networking element as well. Like so many American websites – they dont seem to realise that there is a world outside of the US and that not everyone has States and Zip codes but I managed to join up and will let you know how it works out 🙂

BNI needs to update their marketing material and make their website more attractive. I was thinking about joining a group however I found a better referral organization in TheBIZSociety.com…they offer a lot more for not only businesses but consumers as well. They have a social networking platform also. The company really does give you more bang for your buck!

I looked into joining a BNI group and opted out because of how expensive it was. I decided to join TheBIZSociety.com because they offered alot more for your buck. They also already have a social networking platform.

Liked the video clip.
I can empathise with the members on screen; we have been in BNI for 10 years and 60% of our bespoke software application jobs come through BNI. I am in 3 other networking organisations and BNI is the one that delivers the goods.
