Testimonials

Managing a very busy office and working with patients all day doesn't leave a lot of time for business development. But we all have to eat breakfast, right? BRN allows me to work on my business while I build lasting relationships... and enjoy a great breakfast at the same time. The process is really simple and it has helped bring my office new business. I highly recommend local business professionals see if membership in BRN might help them as much as it has my office.

We all recognize that people only do business with other people that they know, like, and trust.This is an essential paradigm to growing a business locally but it takes time. My membership in BRN has helped me accelerate that process. Plus having many other people who discover opportunities for me and frequently recommend my services not only reduces the time- their vote of confidence really helps to establish my credibility and gets the new client relationship off to a better start.

Even after five years, I still look forward to the bi-monthly BRN meetings. Our band of merry men (and women!) has grown from five people to over 30 members and our productivity has really soared. Compared to other similar groups my business has been affiliated with, BRN has proven to be the least costly and most effective method for a successful word of mouth marketing campaign.

To quote a famous saying, "givers gain" and this philosophy has really proven to be true in BRN. I genuinely try to be a generous provider of referrals and leads to my fellow members and I find that when they get business from me, they want to return the favor. Not only do I get new business from them, but over time many of the other BRN members have begun to use my services as well. My company has almost entirely eliminated advertising, and rely on our BRN membership to help us grow and expand our customer base.

We have received new business directly from other BRN members, plus we get referrals from them. This has been a real easy way to grow our sales and we have also benefited from the products and services other members provide as well. It's a great group and I enjoy attending the meetings and getting to know everyones business better.

While so many rely on high tech methods to get the word out about their businesses, I find that the warmth  and "high touch" nature of BRN's facilitated networking is worth its weight in gold.  When people get to know, like and trust each other they can genuinely recommend their associates' businesses to the wider community. This leads to more high quality referrals and more sales. In my three years in BRN, I have found this to be true for my business as well as for the other members of the group. You just can't beat the personal touch to help you grow your business!
