BNI North Coast Chapter Every Thursday morning a group of "SUPER" professionals gather to learn about each others businesses so we can ALL work as a "sales force" for one another!

Belonging to BNI is like having dozens of sales people working for you ... because all of them carry several copies of your business cards around with them. When they meet someone who could use your products or services, they hand out your card and recommend you. It's as simple as that! It's simple because it's based on a proven concept by BNI Founder, Dr. Ivan Misner, called "givers gain." If I give you business, you'll give me business and we'll both benefit as a result. Last year, members of BNI passed more than two million referrals, which generated more than 727 million (U.S.) worth of business for the members. BNI is a business and professional networking organization that allows only one person per professional classification or specialty to join a chapter.
