About BNI

What is BNI

BNI stands for Business Network International and is the most successful and admired networking organization in the world. The referral system we offer our members has been designed and constantly perfected during its 37 years, based on data insights, tests and inputs from some of the most inspiring business experts of our time.

Our chapters are not about selling to each-other (even though that often happens). The almost 300.000 BNI members across the world use our structured system to build referral partnerships and network up by leveraging their business connections and personal influence.

The philosophy of this organization is built upon the idea of “Givers Gain®”: By giving business to others, you will get business in return. This is predicated on the age-old idea of “What goes around, comes around.”

OUR MISSION

Our Core Values

BNI is built on a set of guiding principles which form the foundation on which members interact, conduct themselves and fulfill their goals. At BNI, we’re Changing the Way the World does Business®.

Givers Gain^®

Givers Gain is the underlying philosophy of BNI. We exemplify that by giving business to others; you will get business in return.

Lifelong Learning

We believe in the continuous improvement of personal and professional skills. BNI provides a variety of opportunities to support lifelong learning.

Traditions + Innovation

Tradition in an organization tells us where we come from and lays the foundation of who we are, but we must always be looking for ways to innovate.

Positive Attitude

BNI provides an environment that enables you to surround yourself with people who want to help you succeed.

Building Relationships

Networking is more about farming connections with new contacts than hunting for them. People want to do business with people they know and trust. It’s about cultivating those relationships.
