Wilmington Networking BNI

Looking to network in Wilmington, NC? Come visit our BNI group! Think of this as your extended sales force. Are you looking to meet someone specific?

We meet every Thursday from 8:45-10:15 am at Flying Machine Brewery (3130 Randall Pkwy, Wilmington, NC 28403). We are a dedicated group of professionals who create quality referrals by networking on each other’s behalf. Maybe one of our members can introduce you! Are your resources stretched thin? Why not add another twenty sales people to your staff? At BNI we only accept one person per professio

nal specialty. This means you have no competition within the chapter for business referrals. Think about it, a new business in town calls the printer about advertising. The printer suggests they call the computer repair person for installation and setup of the new office. The computer repair person suggests they call the credit card processor in the group. The credit card processor suggests our banker and a payroll company. The payroll company suggests our insurance agent. The insurance agent suggests our radio advertising specialist. The radio advertising expert recommends the carpet and tile cleaner to keep things looking spiffy after all that new foot traffic. One customer can feed multiple businesses; with BNI you are in the buffet line! Wilmington Connect chapter of BNI meets every Thursday at Flying Machine Brewery (3130 Randall Pkwy , Wilmington, NC 28403). Early networking between members starts at 8:45 and our meeting begins at 9:00. Each networking session allows members to tell other members what they need and/or who they want to meet. Members are also encouraged to schedule one to one meetings with each other outside of the regular meeting for deeper conversations about how they might be able to leverage customers and solutions for one another.
