Business Networking Group Grows

BNI Networkers Induct new Members

--The Business Network International South Shore Networkers Chapter recently inducted five new members into the group. They are as follows: Aaron Patz, Chiropractor; Jack Campbell, Electrician; Kendra O’Toole, Estate Planning Attorney; Shannon Cochran, Telecommunications; Sheryl Gunapati, photographer; and Robert Brown, graphic designer.
They are welcomed into the BNI group by Nancy Brennan, Chapter Vice President, of Risk Strategies Insurance who commented: “Our networking group is welcoming these new members and we look forward to passing business referrals to them. Last year the chapter passed over $1.2 million in new business referrals amongst the members which make our member seats average $50,000.00 in new business”.
BNI is the world’s largest and most successful business and professional referral organization. They were founded in 1985 by Dr. Ivan R. Misner, and currently have 150,000 members in 45 countries throughout the United States and worldwide.
The South Shore Networkers meet on Tuesdays from 7-8:30AM at Great Pond Hall 120 Bay State Drive, Braintree. (Off Granite Ave.; it is off Route 93 at the Route 37 exit, close to Braintree 5 corners.) Complimentary coffee and light breakfast will be served. There is no cost to attend.
We invite businesses, trades, and professionals ranging from plumbers, architects, caterers, office suppliers, event planners, landscapers, dentists, and movers who are interested in learning how word of mouth referrals can grow their business sales and profits.
BNI chapters follow proven methods, and a strong code of ethics. Also, they allow only one person per profession to join a chapter. Thus, once you have been accepted, none of your competitors can participate.
“We invite people to visit to see if they think this is good for their business,” growth coordinator Jim Martin commented. For more information, email jimar647@verizon.net or call 781-956-8521.
