BNI Mississippi is forming a new chapter in Columbus. The new BNI chapter will meet weekly on Wed. at 8:00 a.m. at the Courtyard by Marriott. The BNI group is seeking professionals who are interested in growing their business by maximizing their marketing efforts through word-of-mouth and referral networking. Through BNI, members have the opportunity to share ideas, contacts and most importantly, business referrals in a positive, supportive, and structured environment. Only one person representing a professional specialty can join a BNI chapter.
“Now, more than ever, business people need to network to stay in business,” says Tim Paulin, executive director of BNI Mississippi. “BNI’s style of networking is based on the philosophy Givers Gain® — if you want to get business, you have to be willing to give business to other business people,” adds Paulin. BNI members participate in up to 52 networking meetings each year and receive tools to help them network effectively.
“Networking requires commitment,” says V. H. McDaniel, BNI Area Director Consultant. “Belonging to BNI is like having dozens of salespeople representing your business, and in return you are representing their businesses. BNI members are sincerely committed to helping one another grow their businesses through networking.”
