Concerto Networks - welcome to the Simple Office
I have seen my business take off as a result of being a member of the BNI Tribesman Chapter for the last 18 months. I have closed many orders for my company due to BNI referrals. I have yet to receive a BNI referral that did not turn into new business. BNI has even made me better at sales. I'm better because I applied the BNI core values to my business everyday (not just once a week). Building and sustaining relationships is fundamental in my industry, and staying in close contact with business professionals is a great way to foster and promote a productive business relationship for life.

Proof
BNI is a great tool for building businesses by increasing the credibility and posture of each of its members to their customer base!
When I became a member of the Tribeman Galway Chapter of BNI in June 2009, having been in business for 2 years and was looking for a way to increase my client base while following the principles of Referral Marketing. Work of Mouth marketing is the only way to effectively get new business for us, so BNI seemed to be a good fit for my business goals.
In less than two years, business has grown exponentially. With the referrals, support, guidance, training, and education received through BNI, we have been able to expand from a small designer to the one Galway wants most.
What really excites us is that through our contacts in BNI, we have been able to become a great resource for our clients. Not just for the Design services they expect when come to see us, but also because we can provide clients with referrals to every imaginable service and product available throughout the Galway region.

MeanWeb - we make the web work profitably
I took a look at a lot of groups before I found BNI. None of those compare. 100% of my business comes from word of mouth and BNI is responsible for over 50% of that. Between the networking education and the ability to network with hundreds, if not thousands, of business people with the same mindset, BNI has provided the framework to grow our Web Design business tremendously over the past 3 years. The only regret I have is not finding out about BNI sooner.
