Several of our members will attest to the benefit of joining and participating in the BNI Newell Chapter, Here are some of their remarks:

Dr. Jacqueline Bouley,
Live Life Live Well Chiropractic,

When I first opened my business, I consulted three other colleagues of mine and asked them what was the single most important thing they did to grow their business. All of them answered "Join BNI!" So with trepidation and fear of public speaking in hand, I visited the Newell Chapter. The mood was light and jovial, yet professional and they were passing many referrals. I decided to join and have made fantastic friendships and professional relationships that I never expected. I highly recommend BNI for anyone who is just starting their own business that is based on word of mouth referrals and wants to develop a strong sense of community.

It is THE way to build a small business.  By joining BNI Newell, in a few months, I find not only am I meeting professionals with the same ethics and values as mine, but through the direct referrals, my client/patient base has grown.  Come visit and see for yourself the positive attitude and the variety of professions represented.

Anyone who runs or works in a small business and wishes to increase their revenues, really needs to be a member of a BNI group. Most, if not all, small business have no marketing department and rely on word of mouth referrals from other clients. BNI supplements this type of referral based business and takes it a step further. Every week you tell 20-30 people what clients you are looking for, educate them on your business, and you can help each other with your businesses by giving each other qualified referrals. I don't know where my business would be today if not for BNI. It accounts for a substantial part of my new referrals.

Paul Nelson, President
Marathon Moving

BNI has been an unbelievable success for my business.  Since joining BNI in 2000, Marathon Moving has completed over 500 jobs for BNI referrals for over $750,000 in total sales.  That is an average of almost $100,000 in sales per year and that is just direct referrals.  Factoring in the referrals of BNI referred customers would double that amount.  I strongly urge anyone in business to seriously consider joining a BNI chapter and anyone in the Boston Metro West area to join the Newell group.
