How does it work?
We have a networking meeting once a week where we talk about each others business, get to know one another and develop a relationship. We also carry each other business cards at all time in our card caddie. Being in a BNI Chapter is like having a marketing team working for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
We also set up BBIs (better business interviews) where 2 members meet up to learn about each other’s businesses and personalities.
