Kathryn Eaton Eaton Tax & Business Services I am in my 5th year as part of BNI. When I started my own tax firm, I immediately found a BNI chapter. I knew from personal experience, it was the best thing I could do to grow my business. I have gained over $130,000 of gross revenue over the last two years. Since I am a sole practitioner, my time for marketing and promotion is limited. BNI allows me to have a sales force of folks to market my services when I am busy delivering those services. The dollar return per hour on my time spent on BNI is much higher than any hourly fee I could ever charge. In addition to gaining at least 50% of my clients through my BNI relationships, I have also gained an invaluable network of folks who can refer me to trusted service providers when I need one. That saves me valuable time searching for someone I can trust. BNI WORKS!

Chuck Hope Chuck's Care Care Center My BNI Testimonial I am Chuck Hope of Oak Ridge, TN. I have own and operated Chuck’s Car Care Center an automotive repair shop for 26 years. I have a very well establish business with a good reputation, but like all small businesses I continually look for more customers and exposure within my profession. That is why I joined our local chapter of BNI about 9 months ago, since that time I am amazed at how much business I have been able to get from the referrals that my chapter has giving me. In 9 months we have tracked all of the referrals form BNI and we have generated over $10,000.00 in revenue. I have recommended BNI to several of my business associates and I get the standard “I am just too busy right now” response, I go on to tell them that no business is to busy to make more money from the easiest way any business can make it, from a referral. All you have to do is make the call, the leg work has already been done for you. BNI continues to let me hone my networking skills and grow my business in a very positive way. It allows me to promote other businesses within my community that I have grown to trust and I know they will always take care of the customer. Chuck Hope, owner of Chuck’s Car Care Center

Sean McDaniel Computerized Payroll Solutions Business Network International (BNI) has been the single most productive use of my sales time than any of the other marketing tools I currently use. I am one of the founding members of the Lookout Chapter, which has been in existence for 10 years. I joined BNI because I needed to generate more sales and at the time of my joining, my company was less than 6 months old and needed ways to promote our payroll services. I did not receive one referral for the first 18 months I was in the chapter! Needless to say, I was extremely discouraged and began questioning the value of my time in this organization. . I am happy to say that since joining BNI my company has generated over $300,000 of direct BNI referral business--and that number is still growing! I personally have a 90% closing ratio when meeting with quality referrals that are entrusted to me. The key to success for my chapter and I has been the solid, professional relationships I have formed with other members. Without the structure of BNI, I would not be where I am today. There is no excuse for any business professional to not join BNI. I can be reached at (800) 323-0595 M-F 8:00-5:00. Please call me any time and I will be happy to speak to anyone about the benefits of BNI.
