			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>BNI went on Tuesday as always (Over 50 at the meeting) Go <a title="Sunshine Coast Business Networking Group" target="_blank" href="http://www.teamwinningedge.com.au/">Team Winning Edge</a>. BNI Team Winning Edge is the&nbsp;largest Business Networking &nbsp;Chapter in Australia and the first to reach a membership of 50. Been promised Platinum Badges, I am assuming they will be here soon.</p>
<p>Our whole BNI chapter had 1 minute videos done last week. Great fun and looking forward to see everyone in action in videos.&nbsp; I must say that it was easier said than done, getting in front of the camera spruiking off about one&rsquo;s self.&nbsp; We have such a fantastic team of members in Team Winning Edge, everyone had a great time and the day went smoothly. Thanks to Guy Haliday and Chris Pecham. For more info go to <a title="Sunshine Coast Business Networking Group" target="_blank" href="http://www.teamwinningedge.com.au/">Team Winning Edge</a><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>BNI is a business referral organisation whose primary purpose is to assist its members to find and exchange qualified business referrals for each other and develop word-of-mouth marketing techniques.</p>
<p>Unlike other networking groups, BNI provides its members with a professional structure and an ongoing training system which enables members to network in a deliberate manner as well as constantly update their referral marketing skills.</p>
<p>Rapid growth has seen BNI become the world&#8217;s largest business referral organisation of its kind, with over 5,221 chapters in 40 countries, and more than 110,078 members.</p>
<p>Last year members of BNI in Australia generated business referrals that resulted in more than $70 million in new business. (In that same period BNI wordwide passed over 4.9 million referrals, this translates to over A$2.25 billion of business).</p>
<p>Some participants have added as many as 50 new clients in the first 2 years! Successful businesses depend on word of mouth because it is the best advertising there is.</p>
<p>BNI provides a structured and supportive system of giving and receiving business. It does this by providing an environment in which personal relationships can be developed with dozens of other qualified business professionals. By establishing this &#8216;formal&#8217; relationship with other people, each member has the opportunity to substantially increase his or her business.</p>
<p>If you are interested in visting a BNI Networking group on the Sunshine Coast please call Andrew on Ph 5479 3888</p>
