| Welcome to the Meridian Chapter |
 Established in 1985, BNI is a business and professional organisation that allows only one person from each trade or profession to join a chapter. With over 4,700 active chapters, and 100,000 members, it is the most successful business referral organisation in the world.
Belonging to BNI is like having dozens of sales people working for you because all the other members carry copies of your card with them. When they meet someone new that could use your products or services they hand out your card and personally recommend your services.
It's as simple as that! Last year members of BNI passed more than 2.7 million referrals, which generated approximately £1 billion worth of business.
Good Referrals offer the opportunity to do business with someone who is in the market to buy your product or service. Although not a guaranteed sale, a good referral is an open door to discuss your business with someone who is interested in your product or service. Each member knows many other people and this extended network is a rich database of potential business available to members of BNI.
Word Of Mouth is the most effective form of advertising possible. BNI provides a structured environment for the development and exchange of quality referrals. The average chapter of BNI gives over 60 referrals per month to its members. Based on a survey by Dr. Ivan R. Misner, each member of BNI passed an average of over £11,000 per year worth of potential business to other members.
