Welcome the Bethesda Business Roundtable Chapter

"Word of mouth" is the most cost-effective form of advertising possible. The Bethesda Business Roundtable BNI chapter provides a professional structured environment for the development and exchange of quality business referrals. If referrals are an important part of your business, then the Bethesda Business Roundtable chapter of BNI is the organization for you.

BNI logo BNI (Business Network Int'l) is the most successful organization of its type in the world, with over 5,000 chapters and 100,000 members meeting each week in 37 countries around the globe. Last year, members of BNI passed over five and a half million referrals, which generated over 2.2 billion US dollars worth of business for its members. BNI is a business and professional networking organization that allows only one person per professional classification or specialty to join a chapter. This format allows members to develop both deep, meaningful referral relationships with each other and to achieve a broad contact sphere that increases the diversity and reach of their client base. We are structured, focused on doing business, and have an emphasis on positive reinforcement and support.

If you want to gain more business for yourself and be confident about passing on business to other professionals, come stop by as our guest on Tuesday.
