What Our Members Say
“I joined BNI in October of 2006, a few days after my birthday. More than 80% of my data recovery case comes from referrals and some of this cases spin-off to a bigger opportunity for me and my company. I really value the power of word of mouth marketing and with BNI, I have the opportunity to be part of the system and be of help to entrepreneurs like myself.
BNI reinforced my belief and practice, that quality of product and services only account for 20% of the sales success, and 80% is how I build trust, relationship and credibilitywith the customer and how I deliver my commitment to my customers.”
- Christopher Tan
“I became a member in June 2007. Referrals are our main source of clients. When clients taste our food they tell people about it, and that is what word-of-mouth marketing is about.”
- Pam Torres
“I joined BNI in October 2007. I value the trust and ethical standards in the (BNI) system. I had a lot of unpleasant experiences with unscrupulous business partners and I want to avoid them. The members who were given referrals provided great service which exceeded expectations.”
- Teena Gascon
“I saw different businesses in this group. I am bored when I attend the medical conferences because I am with competitors. Medical professionals are not allowed to advertise their services. When that happens, I am just as good as the others. I get my testimonials from my patients. I can measure my success in BNI by learning the scientific way of dealing with people and practicing word-of-mouth referral system. I learn a lot from my co-members”
- Dr. Len Abogado
“Most socio-civic organizations like Jaycees require members to play golf or go to not so wholesome nightclubs. I wanted to look into serious networking. I’m happy that there is no politics here, just to share the business. I have the opportunity to help my clients by giving them legitimate referrals. BNI gives a broader and global perspective. I wish many happy referral returns.”
- Aldric Dalumpines
“I like BNI because there is no negative feedback. There is no gossiping.”
- Doris Saw
“BNI is a venue to promote my cakes and gives me exposure especially with my chocolate wrap which is a new offering. I look forward to plenty of referrals, training for myself and increased confidence in facing people.”
- Gervy Santos
“When I attended a BNI meeting, I just wished it wasn’t a scam and I was right. I have financial goals that I want to achieve.”
- Marylene Uyboco
“BNI will widen my network and I wish to do a lot of projects.”
- Eric Belarmino
“It is unethical to advertise in the dental field, so BNI is a good venue. I am able to market my services and my clinic. I am not an early riser, but when there is a meeting, I wake up early for the meeting and see to it that I am able to attend.”
- Dr. Lillian Ebuen
“BNI allows me to be with successful people and somehow develops my personality. This would provide me with more benefits than being confined in my cubicle.”
- Richard Rombaoa
“I joined BNI in October 2007. At that time, Arkigraphics was only 7 months old. I was invited by a former member Kristine from BDO. I was her client then. BNI members are decision makers. *Bigatin ang mga tao dito. *I have 20 credible salepeople here. I define my success with the fact that my calling cards are in your card case. That is already a big deal. I will now be able to distribute my calling cards.”
- Michelle Petines
“I am a person who believes in duplication. It’s like I am paying P1,000+ for each salesperson (member) a year. Most of the members here have the ability to duplicate themselves, with the exception of Dr. Lillian and Dr. Abogado. It’s a good venue for that. My goal is to reach P1M a month. I am reinventing myself and will move to publishing because I can dictate my price. There also a lot of things outside BNI. I am comfortable doing business with someone who you can trust. Whether it results to profits or loss, walang iwanan.”
