The Ithaca, New York chapter of Business
Networking International (BNI) welcomes you to our website. As the
"Thumbs Up!" chapter, we are a group of professionals who meet on a
weekly basis to generate business for each other. In the chapter's first
six months, we generated over $43,000 in completed business for our
members, and the amount is growing exponentially as we develop more
contacts for each other.
Members enjoy the camaraderie of our meetings, and look forward to
hearing different aspects of each others' businesses every week. Staying
current with each other helps us pinpoint the best referrals, which can
then translate into active and satisfied customers and clients --
another great source of referred business.
Delivering weekly 60-second statements about our businesses has helped
all of us develop succinct and intriguing ways of describing our
services. This simple skill helps us answer the commonly asked question,
"what do you do?", in a way that is guaranteed to spark interest and
further conversation when we are out networking during the rest of the
week.
Come to one of our meetings, and see how BNI can help grow your
business. We look forward to welcoming you, and to hearing about your
services. There is a $5 charge for visitors attending our meeting; this
fee helps to cover meeting costs.
