CHARLOTTE, N.C., Aug. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- BNI (Business Network International), the world's largest and most successful business networking organization, today publicly announced that BNI Members worldwide generated over $19.4 billion in revenue in the past 12 months. This revenue occurred from the 12.6 million referrals provided from BNI Members to other BNI Members who represent hundreds of professions around the world.

Shelly Stevens, a business owner in a family operated oil company in Maine, has been a BNI Member since February 2021. She says, "We are receiving an average of one new referral every week! Before BNI we were averaging one new referral to our business about every 2 months. This has been a huge boost to our business. I am thankful for the business relations I am building and the growing success of our company."
"In a time where businesses are facing uncertainty, we are proud to increase our investment in technology, tools, and training that allows BNI Members to achieve their dreams," says Graham Weihmiller, BNI's Chairman & CEO. "Our BNI Members are the best economic stimulus there is and the valuable referrals they generate for one another will continue producing more opportunities for months and years to come."
BNI, founded in 1985 and based in Charlotte, North Carolina, has supported businesses, like Shelly's, through some of the most difficult economic times in the world's history and has provided a proven system to help its Members grow and build their businesses for almost 38 years.
