Word of mouth is one of, if not the best, way to find new, loyal, customers. BNI (Business Network International) has one focus: To gather groups of dedicated professionals in every field imaginable and meet once per week to refer new business. How many times have you asked someone: "Do you know a good plumber?"  It could easily be a photographer, REALTOR®, insurance pro, boat mechanic, etc. It's how we help friends, family, and acquaintances to get their job done with someone they know will work out. 

 

Stephen Shaw, Chapter President speaking with a new member


The new Essex, CT chapter of BNI that just formed is off to a great start with 25 new business members and that's just the beginning. Would you like to expand your business this way? Imagine having the help of 25 (and constantly growing) members each week giving you more of how you already grow your business? If so, consider this your invitation to attend as my guest this Tuesday morning at 7:30am at the Essex Town Hall auditorium. You'll be finished by 9am so you can get on with your day but with one difference. You'll be charged with the energy of the 25 people who absolutely love what they do who'll come to know you and your business so they can begin sending new customers to you. 

 

Here are some examples of what types of business we're looking for that aren't currently represented: 

 

• Business Lawyer

• Photographer

• Home Appraiser

• Payroll Service

• Personal Trainer

• Restauranteur

• Civil Lawyer

• Florist

• Bookkeeper

• Business coach

• Credit Card Merchant

• Plumber

• Office supplies

• and many more. 

 

 

If accepted into the chapter you will be the ONLY business person in that genre. What do you have to lose? Come visit, come join this Tuesday. We meet every week and we're building new business now. Don't miss out!

 

I, as the chapter's REALTOR®, am there to find new buyers for my existing selling customers, more selling customers. It also helps me source great services for both customer types with the comfort of knowing they'll get a great job done at a great price. My first experiences have been stellar. Yours will too.

 

I also serve in a leadership role as the chapter's Educational Coordinator. It is my job to help members communicate about their business message with greater clarity, understand the BNI process, and much more. My goal is to help everyone get the most for the time spent at meetings and their membership. 

 

I hope to see you at the next meeting.
