Networking requires commitment.
The most successful chapters of BNI are comprised of participants who are sincerely committed to helping one another through networking. They are a team.
As a participant in BNI, you are responsible for complying with the policies and guidelines of the organisation.
Policies You Should Know About:
A partial list of the policies is listed below.
- The weekly meetings last for 90 minutes. Members need to arrive on time and stay for the entire meeting.
- Only one person for each profession is permitted to join a chapter of BNI.
- All participants should present their primary occupation, not a part-time business.
- Attendance is critical. If you cannot attend a meeting, you may send a substitute. This will not count as an absence. Participants are allowed three absences every six months. More than this and they are subject to removal.
- Participants are required to bring bona-fide referrals and/or visitors to their chapter of BNI.
Cost
There is a one-time registration fee of R350-00.
Annual fees can be paid annually or bi-annually, and are payable at the first meeting of each month.

Will Rogers once said 'you might be on right track, but if you're just sitting there, you'll get run over!!!'
You're on the right track because you've attended a business group that is dedicated to increasing your business through referrals.
