A WORD FROM

DR. IVAN MISNER

Ivan Misner Reflects on 38 Years of BNI^®

The Word's Largest Referral Networking Organization

OUR PHILOSOPHY

The philosophy of this organization is built upon the idea of “Givers Gain®”: By giving business to others, you will get business in return. This is predicated on the age-old idea of "What goes around, comes around".

OUR MISSION

BNI Laos is one of the most successful business networking organization. We offer our members the opportunity to share ideas, contacts, and most importantly, business referrals!

OUR CORE VALUE

BNI is built on a set of guiding principles which form the foundation on which members interact, conduct themselves and fulfill their goals. At BNI, we’re Changing the Way the World does Business®.

01

Givers Gain^®

Givers Gain is the underlying philosophy of BNI. We exemplify that by giving business to others; you will get business in return.

02

Lifelong Learning

We believe in the continuous improvement of personal and professional skills. BNI provides a variety of opportunities to support lifelong learning.

03

Traditions + Innovation

Tradition in an organization tells us where we come from and lays the foundation of who we are, but we must always be looking for ways to innovate.

04

Positive Attitude

BNI provides an environment that enables you to surround yourself with people who want to help you succeed.

05

Building Relationships

Networking is more about farming connections with new contacts than hunting for them. People want to do business with people they know and trust. It’s about cultivating those relationships.
