BNI tends to screen out anyone focused on MLM (Network Marketing). The organization has been around for a while. They have a fixed format that works well for local business people. It works best for people who do business in a local community as you end up with 20 or so trained sales reps who only ask that you promote what they do when you see a need that matches. A zero cost sales organization.

Some BMI chapters have wait lists to get in id you are a mortgage broker or real estate agent. People have sold their slot in a particular chapter on ebay. BMI can work really well for many who are serious about growing their business

I see you what you mean... No this is not MLM. BNI pretty much is a set group that is dedicated to network marketing. There can only be one person per profession. If they need an investor they push them your way. If there is a someone needs a painter then you will give the painter the lead. That sort of thing....

Thanks for the feedback
