The BNI Referral Generator that’s getting the UK talking

The BNI Referral Generator introduces people to the BNI without you having to say a word. Positioned on display in your reception area, the Referral Generator not only advertises the services of your fellow Chapter members to anyone passing, it also promotes the BNI organisation and immediately sparks “what’s that?” openings that lead to visitors and referrals.

There are two sizes available, to suit the size of your Chapter – 22 cards or 44 cards. Your fellow chapter members’ cards are displayed behind simple snap-in clear plastic windows to continuously promote their services. You can also buy card dispensing windows so cards can be taken as required.

When we asked owners of the displays for feedback, the benefits it brought to their networking activities were obvious:

Sean Toomer from SR.Toomer&co said…

 “I’ve found the BNI Board fantastic for finding referrals and visitors. As an accountant, I have clients coming in all the time, and sometimes I don’t even need to mention BNI to get a referral or visitor. Not only does it make my office look better having it on the wall, but it creates interest in BNI just being there. This creates curiosity from visitors to my office, which allows me to explain what BNI is all about (without just going into it) which usually either results in a referral or a visitor.”

…a testimonial also echoed by Peter Barrett of J & A Brokers Ltd…

 “I am delighted to confirm that we have sited your “Referral Generator” board in our ‘client meeting room’  -  giving clients the opportunity to ask “what’s that?” and for me to inform them that “THESE ARE A GROUP OF BUSINESS PROFESSIONALS THAT I MEET WITH REGULARLY – I KNOW THEM, WORK WITH THEM AND TRUST THEM SO THAT I CAN RECOMMEND THEIR SERVICES TO CLIENTS LIKE YOU”  -  a great way of getting referrals for my fellow members, without effort.”

…and if you are left with any doubt whatsoever about the effectiveness of the Referral Generator then here is a testimonial from an anonymous lady…

  “**** had the Lead Generator in the reception, it prompted a conversation, which led to me attending his chapter, which led to him asking me out to dinner.....................and the rest is history. We have been an item for 16 months and he has been my ‘ best referral ever’!!!!!”

The Referral Generators are manufactured in the UK by Phillips Plastics Ltd (long standing members of the ‘Concord’ Chapter, Rickmansworth) and are only available at the BNI shop www.phillipsdirect.co.uk and can be found on this page http://www.phillipsdirect.co.uk/bni-web-shop-referral-generators-c-12_15.html

The display is made entirely from 100% recyclable polypropylene and at its’ head reads…

“We are members of BNI, the worlds most successful business referral organisation. This is a group of business people we know and trust and can vouch for the quality of their work. If there is anyone here who’s products or services could be of interest to you we will be very happy to arrange a personal introduction, so that you don’t have to take a risk with the yellow pages.”
