BNI stands for Business Network Int'l. The sole purpose of BNI is to increase your business through a structured system of giving referrals. The philosophy of  "Givers Gain"  is evident in the number of referrals passed each week. The San Diego region currently has over 34 chapters with more in the planning stages. Our local business community benefits greatly from the structured organization of this professional networking model established in 1985 in San Dimas, California. There are over 4600 BNI Chapters in 39 countries with over 92,000 members. In 2006 members passed approximately 4.9 million referrals generating over $1.2 billion dollars in business for members.

As a Mission Valley BNI member you receive many benefits:

• Listen and keep your BNI orientation audiotape entitled the  "Formula for Success." 
• Wear your personalized BNI name badge at meetings and carry all your chapter members' cards in your BNI business card holder for easy reference.
• Get referrals and participate in 49 networking meetings per year.
• Attend San Diego Region All-Chapter events.
• Join in free business expo trade show opportunities.
• Place a link from our chapter website www.bnisynergynetwork.com to your organization's web site (at no additional charge).
• Go to local chapter socials, such as parties, picnics and holiday receptions.

We only take one person from each profession. So, for example, if you are a residential real estate professional and we already have one, we can refer you to another BNI chapter, or we may help you open another chapter.

The sole purpose of BNI is to increase your business through a structured system of giving referrals. One person per profession can be a member of a chapter. Breakfast meetings are held weekly on Wednesday from 7:00 - 8:30 a.m. at Marie Callender's in La Mesa. A leadership team is in place to keep the meeting on-track and on-time. An education topic is covered each week. Members give a 60-second commercial incorporating a memory hook. Members actively pass referrals or give testimonials. Meetings feature a member speaker each week. Individuals are recognized for networking achievements.

We invite you to attend a Mission Valley BNI meeting. Meetings are held at Marie Callender's in La Mesa, located at 6950 Alcarado Rd. every Wednesday from 7:00-8:30 a.m. Arrive early at 6:30 a.m. to network and get your breakfast before the meeting start time.

We carefully check references of new members and are confident referring our members to family, friends, peers, clients and associates. The process is easy. At each meeting members use a 3-part carbonless form to refer business to one another. The chapter retains a copy. Both the referring member and the business provider have copies for follow-up and tracking.
