From November 2015
One of the key elements that distinguishes BNI from other networking groups is the education and training it offers on how to be a better networker as well as improving business skills. From the beginning BNI requires new members to attend the basic Member Success Program (MSP). Statistics have proven that new members who attend within their first 30 days start seeing the benefits, i.e. more referrals and more business, much sooner. Why? Because MSP gives a new member the basic foundation they need to understand the fundamentals and the Why of BNI. In addition to MSP, BNI offers Advanced MSP classes. Each new member receives 2 additional classes for the price of MSP. The Advanced classes which are offered include:
BNI also partners with some of the best trainers in the business, i.e. Brian Tracy, High Achievers Network, Training of Champions, Action Coach, del Fuego Companies (Fast Track Program), etc. for additional training and education.
- Double Your Referrals in 90 Days
- Presenting With Style, Confidence and Charisma
- Building a Credible Network
- The Power of One to Ones: More Than a Statistic
- Increase Your Profitability With BNI Connect!
To sign up for any of these classes, go to BNIConnectGlobal.com and click on Events.
In addition to the classroom setting, BNI offers webinars and podcasts for additional learning, plus many online resources.

The list of webinars can be found on BNIConnectGlobal.com listed under events. One that I highly recommend is held every Friday called 'Expanding Your Network.' Even if you register and cannot attend at the designated time, it is recorded so you can listen to it later. Each week provides a different topic.

- The World's Best Marketing Secret

and the list goes on and on.
Online Sites for more information and learning include:
Recently BNI has expanded the Mentor Program for new members from a 6 week program to a 9 month program. Again because BNI wants every new member to receive everything they need to be successful. Even seasoned BNI members can benefit from this program. Ask your Chapter's Mentor Coordinator how to be a Mentor or a Mentee.
BNI believes in providing the training material and information to each and every member to become the very best networker and BNI member possible. It is up to the individual to take advantage of what is offered.

CEU credits are given for all of the offerings which I have listed. BNI recommends earning at least one CEU credit each week. Some offerings earn more CEU credits than others. Refer to BNIConnectGlobal.com to determine the point value for each offering.
I encourage every BNI member to be a 'Life Long Learner.' Be thirsty for knowledge in this every changing evolving world.
