Testimonials

“I was very sceptical about the whole networking/business meeting setups, having listened to negative comments and not actually seeing it for myself.

After my first visit I honestly thought “What was all that about” although something must have impressed me as I went back for a second visit to really understand about BNI Blaze and joined that day.

Since becoming a member, it has opened up so many new opportunities for Arena Personnel Ltd and the business received within the first 3 months has been fantastic.

The early starts are well worth it, my only regret is not becoming a member of BNI Blaze earlier.”

“I am Dan Wheatley a Director of React4 Services Ltd, a plumbing and heating company based in Welwyn Garden City.  I joined BNI approximately 3 months ago before our chapter had officially launched.  Even before we had our official launch BNI had generated more than enough business to cover the membership costs.  It has opened doors to new opportunities that we would never have known about through “conventional” marketing methods.  So if you are looking for more business I would strongly recommend you take a look. It might not be your “thing”, it didn’t come naturally to me at first, but don’t let one of your competitors take business that could be yours!”

“I joined as a pre-launch core member persuaded to get up at an ungodly hour by Mike Parkinson of Make Stuff Happen and come as a visitor one Thursday morning and have been a member since almost the start of this chapter and can honestly say it was the best thing I ever did and more importantly he ever did for me!

I would even say it’s the best marketing budget money I have ever spent and i have had a great deal of business not just from the BNI Blaze Chapter members but also from their clients and contacts as they have passed many referrals to me.

Obtaining referrals from my fellow chapter members and finding referrals for them is the greatest way to find new business and my BNI colleagues rate amongst the most trusted people I have ever done business with which is why it works so well.

I am very grateful for all the business my fellow chapter members have passed to me no matter how small it may have been.

I will be renewing my membership again if they will have me!

The power of BNI is awesome!”

I joined this chapter as one of the founding members nearly two years ago. I was incredibly skeptical, never having ever done any networking prior to this.

At first I found it very intimidating, I hate public speaking, and had no idea how to get any referrals for anyone else.

Having attended several training sessions, I found myself able to give a 10 minute presentation, for me a huge thing as I did not even manage to speak at my sister’s wedding.

I am constantly amazed at the generous offers of assistance and free advice from all of the experts sat around this table.

Without question you have helped my business to grow at rates that I find hard to believe, and I would not hesitate in recommending your services to any of my friends, clients or colleagues.

Once again Thanks!

I look forward to spending many more years referring business to you all.
