Business Network International (BNI) is a "Business Referral Organization" that allows only one person from each trade or profession to join a chapter. This web site gives details of the Livermore BNI chapter based in Livermore, California, in the Tri-Valley area of the San Francisco Bay Area.

With over 3,000 active chapters, and 60,000 members, BNI is the most successful business referral organization in the world.

Belonging to BNI is like having dozens of sales people working for you, because all the other members carry copies of your card with them. When they meet someone new that could use your products or services they hand out your card and personally recommend your services.

It's as simple as that!  In 2004, members of BNI passed over 3,000,000 referrals, which generated more than $1.5 billion worth of business!
