BNI Winners Circle chapter in Saratoga
Springs was recognized by its parent organization,
BNI, for its milestone achievement of generating
more than $1 million in business in 2014
and being on target to exceed that total in 2015.
The BNI Winners Circle chapter is comprised
of business professionals representing companies
and professional firms operating in and
around the Saratoga Springs area. Embracing
the BNI motto of “givers gain,” they meet weekly
to help grow each other’s businesses and support
the local economy by passing referrals to
one other.
BNI said to be the largest business networking
organization in the world, with 7,375 chapters
in 63 countries.
According to BNI, its success and longevity
can be attributed to its members’ adherence to
the concept of word-of-mouth marketing, one of
the most effective sources of both new and repeat
business. By developing and leveraging trusted
professional relationships, BNI members help drive economic growth for each other, as well as
for their local business communities.
This announcement not only recognizes BNI
Winners Circle for excellence in generating referrals
and revenue, but also for exemplifying the
highest level of commitment, credibility, enthusiasm,
and attitude of positivity and good will for
each other and for the communities that benefit
from their diligence, the organization said.
“Members of BNI Winners Circle chapter have
pushed themselves from day one and continue
to make their goals and set new ones, always
raising the bar higher for themselves,” notes BNI
Executive Director Lesley Shimer.
The Winners Circle chapter, which began in
June 2005 with 20 professionals, now has 41
members who pass on an average of 91 business
referrals per month. The group meets at The
Mill Office Building at 125 High Rock Ave. every
Thursday from 7-8:30 a.m. For more information,
