The Investment

The Chichester BNI has been running for 10 years and three of the members are founder members. The point here is that BNI must work for their business - they wouldn't get up early every Thursday if it didn't!

Your time commitment

BNI is focused on building the members' businesses. this can only happen successfully if the whole group meets Thursday, 50 weeks of the year.

As a member of our group we ask for this weekly commitment; we cannot generate business for you if you are absent; likewise, you cannot contribute to others if you are not there.

Clearly, there are times when it is impossible to make the meeting, either through personal circumstance or business. We ask you to send a sub in your place to represent you in these instances.
And here we can help too; we have a list of willing subs for you to draw on if needed.

The money investment

There is a one-off BNI joining cost of £100. There is a yearly fee, currently £400 + VAT (discount if you join for 2 years).
There is a monthly standing order for your breakfast which we ask you to set up when you join, of £33 per month.

Do the maths - what sales do you need to cover this investment? If you spent this money on advertising, how much would you get and how effective would it be?

Decision time - should you, shouldn't you join?

No! This web site is designed to give you a flavour of what Chichester BNI is about.
Come along to one of our meetings and see for yourself what happens. Talk to the members and ask them the burning questions, 'Does it work for you?'. 'Will it work for me?'. 'How do I give referrals?'. 'How do I stand up and speak for 60 seconds?'

Then make your mind up; we know it will work for you but it is your decision, your time and your money!
And if you need an extra visit - no problem; you can visit us twice before making your mind up.

We look forward to meeting you!
