About this Event
Wednesday morning networking that actually moves business
BNI Business Builders is one of Cleveland's west side referral chapters — 13 local pros across non-competing industries who meet every Wednesday morning to pass qualified referrals to one another. Not LinkedIn likes. Not "let's grab coffee sometime." Real introductions to people ready to buy.
On June 3, we're opening the doors for Visitor's Day.
Here's what you'll experience:
- A live 90-minute BNI meeting — structured, fast-paced, and built around the Givers Gain® referral system
- 60-second commercials from every member so you understand exactly what each business does
- A 10-minute featured presentation from Ron Gogul of Gogul & Associates on elder law and estate planning
- Open networking with chapter members before the meeting starts
- A chance to see if there's an open category for your business
BNI is the world's largest business referral organization — over 355,000 members in 79 countries use this proven system to grow their business through trusted referrals. In 2025 alone, members passed over 17.1 million referrals worth $27.1 billion in business.
Who should come:
- Business owners and professionals on Cleveland's west side
- Anyone whose business runs on word-of-mouth and warm introductions
- Solopreneurs and small teams tired of cold lead lists
Free to attend. Light bites and coffee provided. Bring 30+ business cards and your creative business building mind.
