What we’re about

We are seeking business owners and professionals in specific business categories, not already represented in our group, to whom we will refer customers as we now do for fellow group members. Word of mouth is the most cost effective form of advertising. Recognizing that, we came together over 7 years ago as a dedicated group of business owners and professionals, cooperating without competition within the group, working together to accelerate the growth of our businesses. We operate on the principle of "Givers Gain", using a proven structured and supportive system of giving and receiving pre-qualified business referrals, not mere "leads". Your prospects that other members refer to you will actually be looking forward to hearing from you! Our specific group has exchanged between its members over two million dollars' worth of actual closed business (dollars actually paid by customers, not just estimates or invoices). We are seeking business owners and professionals in specific categories, not already represented in our group, to whom we will give our referrals. For more information and to see if your business category is still "open", please go to http://www.bnisfbay.com/chapterdetails.html.... Be sure to come to our next morning business exchange meeting now that you have been approved to visit with us. We meet in person the first Wednesday of each month in downtown Oakland, at 1721 Broadway near 17th Street (meeting space doors are at ground floor, facing Broadway) and meet via Zoom all other Wednesdays (we occasionally go "dark" e.g. the last 2 weeks of the year) so be sure to check with me or the group's President, Luke Blanchard as of 4/17/24, and see for yourself as we exchange new business referrals, and members thank each other for referral-based income received in the past week!
