BNI is now the world's largest referral organization with Chapters in many countries around the globe. It was started in 1985 by Dr. Ivan Misner, one of the world's leading experts in networking and word-of-mouth marketing.

Belonging to BNI is like having dozens of sales people working for you ... because all of them carry several copies of your business cards around with them. When they meet someone who could use your products or services, they hand out your card and recommend you. It's as simple as that! It's simple because it's based on a proven concept by BNI Founder, Dr Ivan Misner, called "givers gain." If I give you business you'll give me business and we'll both benefit as a result.

What Is BNI?

Money to the Power of Two started in Fenton in May of 2006. We began as a small group of about 5 or 6 and very quickly grew to a solid core group of 18 members when we launched our chapter. Our Kick-off in October of 2006 was very well attended, and we doubled our size in just one week!

We have a strong group of professionals and we average over 70 referrals passed per week! The number of our members continues to grow, and so does the number of our referrals passed.

Check us out and become part of the largest referral organization in the world!
