The reason you’re reading this article is because you’re either:

A Bangalore based entrepreneur aspiring to grow your business and generate more leads via referral marketing

OR

You’re an entrepreneur whose business caters to customers based out of Bangalore.

That’s the reason you’re probably looking to join a BNI Bangalore Chapter.

As an entrepreneur, the single biggest KEY to success is to continually market your business and have NEW qualified leads in the pipeline on a consistent basis.

When you join a Business Networking group like a chapter from BNI Bangalore, it makes it a lot more easier.

As an entrepreneur, we have our own share of challenges like – operational issues, issues with quality, sourcing, managing cash flow, training and monitoring the team, etc.

As a result – we have little or NO time at all to proactively market the business so we can attract more leads and convert them.

And that’s where joining a BNI Bangalore chapter can really help – because in a few meetings every week, we can communicate the kind of referrals and leads that we’re looking for and attract them with ease.

So if you’re thinking of how to join a BNI Bangalore Chapter, then this article will show you how.

My name is Harry Ramsay, a Digital Marketing Strategist and also a member of the BNI chapter Royale in Bangalore.

And in this article, I’m going to share how to successfully join a BNI Bangalore Chapter…

1) Find a member of a BNI chapter 

BNI is an organization that heavily relies on it’s network. So the first step for you to join a BNI Chapter is to identify a BNI member and ask them to invite you for their chapter meeting.

You can ask them if the chapter will benefit your business and if the chapter is looking for someone from your category.

Across all BNI chapters, only one person from a particular business category is allowed to represent that category in a chapter.

If the category you want to represent is represented by someone else, you’ll have to find another chapter where your category is open.

The BNI Chapter’s leadership team can help you with that.

2) Attend the meeting 

Once you get your invite from the BNI chapter member, attend the BNI Meeting.

Make sure that you arrive 30 minutes early before the start of the meeting and carry at least 30 – 50 business cards as this will help you speak to as many people as possible.

You never know when someone has the same requirement of what you’re offering at that particular juncture.

3) Determine if the location is accessible

Since the meetings are going to be held every week and you cannot miss these meetings, it is very important to choose a location that is accessible and convenient for you.

Once you attend the meeting, make sure that the location is convenient for you or else you can request for another chapter location which is more comfortable for you

So if you’re thinking of joining BNI and would like to attend a BNI Bangalore Chapter’s meeting, I would like to invite you to my BNI chapter – BNI ROYALE.

In my BNI Chapter Royale, we are a pack of fast-growing entrepreneurs with diverse backgrounds. Some of them have been in business for over 20+ years and there are those who have just started.

All of them have a passionate bond and work with each other to get more referrals. 

If you’re interested in attending the BNI chapter meeting as a guest, I recommend that you join my special Whatsapp Group.

In this special whatsapp group, we have a bunch of passionate entrepreneurs representing various businesses.

Through this group, I will communicate details on when our next chapter meeting is happening and we’ll all connect with each other.
