We are a group of Chicago-based entrepreneurs and professionals who share a desire for growing our businesses in a time-tested way: through referrals from associates that know our dedication to service in our business relationships and quality in our products.

Our weekly meetings are a comfortable and friendly place to network, to learn more about business, and to become familiar with the businesses of our members. We meet promptly at 7 am every Wednesday at Sedgebrook in Lincolnshire, just off Milwaukee Ave. If you are a business professional interested in growing your client base, visit us!

What is BNI?

BNI, or Business Network International, is a business and professional networking organization. BNI has over 40,000 members and over 2,000 chapters in the United States and Canada. Last year over 1.5 million referrals were exchanged throughout the network representing over $600 million in potential business.

A partial list of the policies of BNI are listed below:

• Only one person from each profession is permitted to join a chapter of BNI.
• All participants should represent their primary occupation, not a part-time business.
• Attendance is critical. If you cannot attend a meeting, you may send a substitute. This will not count as an absence.
• Participants are required to bring bona-fide referrals and/or visitors to their chapter of BNI.

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 hand out your card and recommend you.  It's as simple as that!  It's simple because it's based on a proven concept by BNI Founder, Dr Ivan Misner, called "givers gain."   If I give you business you'll give me business and we'll both benefit as a result.
