42 Wausau Businesses Exchanged 1.7 Million Dollars In Sales During 2008

And they accomplished this by NETWORKING, not net-sitting, net-eating, or net-socializing.

The Wausau Chapters of BNI, an international networking organization specializing in business referrals among members, is holding a Premier Networking Event Tuesday April 28, 11AM-1PM at The Rose Garden 131 West Thomas Street, Wausau.

While business owners can not control the economy or their competition, they can certainly control their response. Developing networking skills and learning how to build business through work-of-mouth marketing will be the topics on hand at the April 28th event. “BNI is a great way for businesses to grow by using word-of-mouth marketing,” says Laurie Heuser of Wausau based Diversified Inc., “People haven’t stopped buying products and services; they’re just being choosier about where they spend their money. What better way to ensure that people spend their money with you than through word-of-mouth referrals?”

In 2008, BNI globally generated over 5.6 million referrals in 5000+ chapters with over 100,000 members in 39 countries resulting in more that $2.3 billion in business.

“Last year our local Wausau Chapters of BNI generated over $1.7 million between our members with over 1000+ referrals passed. Those are exciting numbers and real dollars that have made considerable impact on our businesses.

Cost for the networking event is $10 and includes lunch. Register by email Shannon@iamgecharge.com or call Shannon Seegmiller at 715-793-4747.
