Testimonial Book

Westonka BNI members: Please remember to bring in your testimonials for our book. Besides providing a wonderful "showcase" for the member businesses, it also gives each member a resource from which to add testimonials to their company websites and blogs. As we have all learned recently, it's all about the buzz. It is far more important to have customers talk about your business than for you to do so.

Business Opportunities!!


The Westonka Chapter of BNI

Is the premier business networking group
on the western shores of
Lake Minnetonka!!

We're a growing chapter looking for your business to pass referrals to!


For businesses with only a sole proprietor to corporations with 60+ employees, joining Westonka BNI is exactly like adding 25 people to your sales staff!! We meet weekly to pass referrals and to educate each other on specials and what we are looking for that week in the way of new business.

BNI is somewhat unique as only one business of a given profession is allowed in the chapter so you are in effect locking out your competition from these area businesses who are members of Westonka BNI. In the last 12 months our members have passed in excess of $350,000 of business to each other!!!

How much would you like to grow your business in 2011?

Stop by and check out a meeting.We always welcome visitors and who knows you may just find your single largest source of business for next year!

We Meet;

Tuesdays, 7:30am at the Gillespie Center in Mound

Looking forward to seeing you there!

John Beise

President

Westonka Chapter of BNI
