About The Sphere of Influence

We're a chapter of Business Network International based in Livonia, Michigan. Even though we meet in Livonia, many of our members come from all areas of Metro Detroit. Our chapter has a unique Business-to-Business focus providing networking opportunities for some of the area's top professionals.

The Sphere of Influence BNI members share a passion for growing our businesses in a time-tested way: through referrals from associates that know our dedication to service in our business relationships and quality in our products.

Our members form a supportive network of trusted friends. Our weekly meetings are a comfortable place to network, to learn more about business, and orient you for success in the coming week.

We meet every Thursday morning from 7 to 8:30 a.m. in Livonia. We know, it's early - and we're certainly not all morning people either. But we also know that it works.

So set your alarm clock an hour earlier this week and see what The Sphere of Influence is all about. We think you'll be glad you did.

About BNI

In 2005, members of BNI, Business Network International passed 3.3 million referrals and $1.7 billion (U.S.) worth of business. BNI is a business and professional networking organization that allows only one person per profession to join a chapter.

Belonging to BNI is like having dozens of sales people working for you because all the other members carry several copies of your business cards around with them. When they meet someone new who could use your products or service, they hand your card out and recommend your services. It's as simple as that! It's simple because it's based on the proven concept of what goes around, comes around. If I help you, you'll help me and we will both benefit as a result.

Would you like to increase your business by 20%, 30%, 50% or as much as 100%? You can see results like this! Many have. Some participants have added as many as 50 new clients in the first 2 years! Successful businesses depend on word of mouth. Word-of-mouth advertising is the best advertising there is.

BNI provides a structured and supportive system of giving and receiving business. It does so by providing an environment in which you develop personal relationships with dozens of other qualified business professionals. By establishing this "formal" relationship with other people, you will have the opportunity to substantially increase your business.
