BNI - Chicago The Largest and Most Successful Referral Networking Organization in the World.

The BNI organization works by creating a group of people from various industries and encouraging regular passing of referrals.

*Each chapter allows one person per occupational classification, and prospective members must be approved via an application process.
*BNI's philosophy is "Givers Gain" - members are expected to focus on giving referrals to other members to build relationships and receive referrals in return.
*BNI draws a distinction between a "referral" and a "lead." A lead is contact information for a prospect for a member's business, while a referral occurs only when the prospect has already expressed interest in the business in question, and is ready to be contacted by the referred BNI member.
*Chapters have specific rules regarding required attendance in order to cultivate the relationships needed to create a comfort level in referring business.
*Chapters track the monetary amount of passed business in order to prove the value of the financial and time commitment.
