BNI membership provides an opportunity for increased exposure to many people and businesses.  There are nearly 1,000 business people, representing a variety of businesses and professions, who are members of BNI Central Valley chapters.   As a result, BNI members may provide referrals in places you have not been, and to businesses and people you don't know.  BNI enables small businesses to leverage a reach similar to that of a large corporation, and it provides larger companies with the personal relationships which often characterize and strengthen smaller organizations. 

Through the development of long term, mutually beneficial relationships, members may realize substantially increased business referrals.  BNI provides its members the tools for the successful application of a referral based business.  Members who execute the plan usually see an improvement in business opportunities.
