What You Need To Know
Preparing to be a guest at BNI Energy:

Trying to explain what BNI is all about is a bit like giving a haircut on the phone! To really understand the BNI experience you need to visit our chapter. It will take just a couple of hours. However, it could open up a magnificent new way to generate serious business.


Details:
  • When: Every Tuesday morning at 7:00am (sharp) until 8:45am
  • Where: The Sutton Place Hotel. 845 Burrard St. (View Map)
  • Parking: There is plenty of metered parking on Hornby, Smithe between Burrard and Thurlow, and on Burrard outside the hotel (heading SOUTH only). Meters are free till 9am.
  • Investment: $20 includes a set breakfast
What to Bring:
  • Lots of business cards (you will need at least 2 upon registering at the front desk)
  • Prepare a 45-60 second 'infomercial' that tells us who you are, what you do and what your ideal referral is.
  • A guest, if you would feel more comfortable coming with a friend or if you know someone else who's interested in BNI

What to Expect:

The chapter will run through the BNI agenda. Upon arrival at 7:00 (sharp) am you’ll be introduced to the members informally. You’ll have the chance to tell people about your business while having a cup of coffee and some breakfast. At 7.30am the formal agenda starts and people will give presentations and pass business between themselves. You can give a 60 second presentation about your business. It’s the BNI agenda that really separates us from the competition because it’s been proven to work over the past 20+ years!

Started in January 1985 by Dr. Ivan R. Misner, Founder & Chairman of Business Network Int'l., BNI provides a positive, supportive, and structured environment for men and women to further their business through word-of-mouth marketing.

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 organization*. A partial list of the policies of BNI are listed below:

What You Should Know:

  • Only one person from each professional specialty is permitted to join a chapter of BNI.
  • All participants should represent 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.
  • Participation in the chapter by members is a key to the success of a group.  Members can participate by bringing bona-fide referrals and/or visitors to their BNI chapter.

    Cost:

    There are one year and two year participation options. See the Secretary/Treasurer of the chapter you visit for prices.
