"I joined BNI approximately three years ago because I was intrigued by the concept of expanding my sales and marketing exposure through a group of like-minded entrepreneurs who I was happy to know and work with. At the outset my expectations were low, and I really simply wanted to cover the cost of my membership and the time commitment I was making to the group. Quickly I realized that as I got to know and trust the other members of the group, referrals and closed business soon followed. In my first partial year, I closed business at a rate of approximately 50% of the BNI yearly average. In my second year, I hit the BNI mark on the dot. In my third year, I exceeded the BNI average by 204%. This year, I am well ahead of that pace. By my own results, I can say that the BNI philosophy "givers gain" really works; because as my referrals to other members have grown, so to have my own successes." - Jeff Daxe
