Our new TNI networking group is really starting to take off! As with anything, you get out what you put in. If you join a group, don't do so with the hope of simply gaining more business for yourself; a healthy economy requires everyone involved giving it all they've got: What goes around....

I consider TNI a great opportunity to help your business by increasing your marketing efforts & improving your bottom line. The best benefit is having solid relationships with other quality, reputable businesses that are trained & eager to help you grow your business. It feels good to refer my customers & acquaintances to professionals I can trust because I know their businesses first hand.

TNI is great! You get out of it what you put into it. I recommend taking on a active role in the group. The more you participate the more referrals you get! This is like most things in life. The longer you stick around the better it gets.

TNI is a great organization that allows professionals to meet and refer business to one another. It's a great way to grow your business as well as to meet other serious minded business individuals who become your partners in addition to your sales force. If you want to grow in a down economy, this is the best and most economical way to make it happen!

Joining the Lakewood-University Place TNI chapter is a great business decision. The return on my investment of time and money that I have enjoyed could not have been matched with any other method of advertising. The group itself is comprised of friendly, hardworking professionals that I would (and have) referred family and friends to.

Being a member of TNI has paid off in many ways. The income in the first two months repaid my membership and quarterly dues. Plus the opportunity to speak each week in front of my business peers has helped to build my confidence, and making new friends in the business community has proven to be most valuable to share with those I come into contact with each week.

I have a degree in Advertising and Marketing and you can spend alot of money on mailings and websites, but nothing gives you the bang for your buck like face to face marketing with quality profesionals like in a TNI group. I love the fact that I have my TNI members I can refer to my clients as part of my "client care" program.

I have been very blessed to have the opportunity to be a part of TNI it is such a great group of business professionals. There is a huge difference between what you might consider as a lead and a warm referral. My closing rate on these referrals is nearly 80% - you can't get much better than that.

I have been a member of TNI Folsom Lunch for only 5 months. I made my investment back in the first 3 months. Since then I have generated several thousands of dollars thanks to the relationships created in our meetings. Thanks TNI Folsom Lunch!

Seven years ago I began a brand spanking new bookkeeping business, I did all the “right” things to promote my new endeavor, visited all the CPA offices in the local area, told everyone I saw about it, even took out a small ad in the local paper. TWO clients, that was it! Then I heard about TNI.
I listened to the pitch. Knowing that word of mouth is always the very best type of advertising, I swallowed hard, pulled out a credit card, said a silent prayer, and joined. The results were amazing! By the time I received my credit card bill, I already had received enough in referrals to pay the bill!!! Seven years later, I have been able to build my business to an income of $90,000 per year. 90 – 95% of that figure comes from TNI referrals.
Without TNI my company would not exist.

The members of the Lacey Chapter of TNI have been my extended sales force for over a year now. TNI has given me the opportunity to grow my insurance agency and develop close-knit business relationships. Its the greatest use of my advertising dollars as well! I would recommend TNI to anyone interested in growing their business!

I have been a member of TNI since 2005. TNI provides me quality people to do business with. I have used many people in TNI for my personal business and have also connected them with my clients. The level of service you receive from a TNI member is Superior! Also, the new clients I have personally gained from TNI represent a substantial percentage of my revenue.

I have been a member of the Olympia chapter for just over a year. As an insurance agent, it is important that I have a network of trusted people to whom I can refer my clients. TNI does that for me!

Having been a part of TNI since 2006, I have witnessed so many business owners taking their businesses to the next level and becoming ridiculously busy. As a real estate agent, I can attribute about 10% of my business coming directly from TNI referals. I started the Olympia Chapter in 2007 and it has grown tremendously. I look forward to many years of successful networking due to the structure of TNI and the great business owners it attracts.

TNI has helped me to meet some wonderful business people--people who have services that I need. Its also great that they have used my salon services as well. It wonderful to get to know professionals who we can use for all our business needs and meet with them every week! TNI yearly dues are reasonable and we get a listing on the TNI website included in the dues. In the short time I have been a member, I have received several referrals, and been able give referrals as well. Referring those I get to know, is an easy thing to do. I am really glad I joined TNI!

Being a member of TNI has significantly impacted my business in a very positive way. The focus of the meetings is to share referrals of people that are ready to do business with you. While others in the mortgage industry are struggling, my business is still going strong as a direct result of TNI.

Potential new members,
An accepted return on investment in marketing I'm told is 3:1 ratio. So
if you get $3 return for every $1 invested that is good. Every year for
the last 3 years we have got a 5 to 1 return. This is superior!

TNI has been wonderful for my cooking business. I have received more leads from TNI than the combination of the Chamber of Commerce, my web site, PersonalChef.com, yellow pages, and direct mailers. The group also helped me redirect my efforts to change with the economy and stay in business. It is apparent to me that quite a few other business owners take my success personally, how cool is that!? I have relationships with many businesses that fill my small business needs as I go, and every job done for me has been full of pride. TNI is my most valued tool and ally. I stay thankful to Heidi for inviting me to check it out.

?TNI has been a great boost to my business of real estate and loan modifications in a very short time. The meetings are a perfect balance between structure, to make them function like a well oiled machine, and the personal touch to foster friendships. No matter how much you spend on fancy marketing and advertising it all comes down to the basics ? building relationships, building trust, and getting warm referrals, and TNI serves that up to you on a silver platter. I?ve found that if I ever want my phone to ring I only need to call my fellow TNI members and refer clients to them. What?s exciting is that the longer you stick with TNI and the more you give, the more you?ll get in return! I will be in TNI for a long, long time. Thank you!?

The relationships I've built in TNI, not only help me directly with my personal clients, but also increased my business by 30%.
Additionally, on a more personal note, I don't think you can find people that care as much about your success, than in the TNI network--which, says it all!
