Welcome to BNI FORTUNE

BNI is the largest business networking organization in the world. It offers members the opportunity to share ideas, contacts and most importantly, business referrals.

Belonging to BNI is like having dozens of sales people working for you ...

...because all of them carry several copies of your business cards around with them. When they meet someone who could use your products or services, they hand out your card and recommend you.* It's as simple as that! It's simple because it's based on a proven concept by BNI Founder, Dr Ivan Misner, called "givers gain." If I give you business you'll give me business and we'll both benefit as a result.

BNI Fortune Chapter meetings take place at the Waffle Cafe in Mill Hill. Networking starts at 6.30am every Tuesday morning, come and join us for a coffee and some breakfast.

If you are interested to join us at one of our breakfasts, and your company profile does not clash with any of our members, please call our Membership Co-ordinator, Simone Mire, on 020 8952 0404 or email us at bnifortune@gmail.com

About BNI
The essence of BNI is that although the meeting takes place at breakfast the sole reason for coming is to network! Efficiency and timings are maintained because every BNI meeting follows a structured 20 point agenda.

If you attend a BNI meeting in the UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, the United States or anywhere else, you will find all meetings follow exactly the same format, using exactly the same agenda.


They are focused on generating business for the participants and there are no secondary agendas.


45 Second Presentations
At the heart of the BNI meeting is the "45 Second Speech" slot. This is each member's opportuiity to tell everyone at the meeting all about their business, the kind of leads they are looking for, and anything at all that will help the other members generate business for them.
45 seconds may seem to be the briefest of speeches, but BNI have developed a system to harness the power of this format, and regularly orgaise free traiing workshops to allow the members to develop their presentations, introducing techiques such as the memory hook, and effective ways to ensure that the message is remembered.


This system has immense practical benefits outside BNI, where in real-life networking situations, the BNI member is trained to be able to give an instant and concise account of what they do.
