F.A.Q.s - Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can anyone join a chapter?
A: The short answer is YES, however there is only one person per professional specialty. So if you are a residential real estate person you will be the only person that is able to promote residential real estate, therefore locking out your competitors. If the chapter already has a residential real estate person then we can refer you to another chapter, or you can help start another chapter.
Q: How do you know new members are reputable?
A: Firstly you need to be referred/invited by someone in BNI, which means someone in trusts you. Also all new applicants are asked to provide two referee's on their application forms and they are checked by the membership committee's of that chapter. Lastly potential members need to have a sponsor (or one is assigned to them, and they interview them) this helps to ensure you are who you say you are.
Q: What occupations benefit the most from networking?
A: It is not the occupation that joins BNI, it is the individual. People refer people and not companies and therefore the occupation can be anything. If you're focused and a desire to grow your business through an increase in qualified referrals and have a "Givers Gain" attitude, you are the person we want at BNI TEAM.
Q: My profession does not let me directly solicit business. Is BNI still right for me?
A: BNI’s primary objective is to assist its members in ways to improve their business and to educate them concerning how they can effectively network. Business people get business when their expertise is known and others reach a comfort level with them. BNI provides a forum that allows members to meet other business peers who need to know effective and efficient business people.
