What makes BNI unique is full time word-of-mouth marketing professionals run each region, and they operate on the “Givers Gain” philosophy. "What goes-around comes-around! If I help you, and you help me, we will all do far more business together as a result of that cooperation.”

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.
