By Ivan Misner
Started in 1985 by Dr. Ivan R. Misner, BNI provides a positive, supportive, and structured environment for men and women to further their business through word-of-mouth marketing and develop long-term, meaningful relationship with quality business professionals. The philosophy of this BNI 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." Belonging to BNI is like having dozens of sales people working for you because all of them carry several copies of your business cards around with them. When they meet someone who could use your products or services, they take out your card and recommend you.
