The Synergy chapter of Business Network International to launch

Tuesday, 28 October 2014 03:14

The Synergy chapter of Business Network International will be launched on Wednesday the 29th of October 2014, from 5 pm to 7 pm at the 4th level of Access Towers, 278, Union Place, Colombo 02.

This is the second successful Sri Lankan chapter representing BNI worldwide with a representation from a diverse field of industries.

With over 170,000 members worldwide, BNI is the largest business networking organisation in the world. Last year alone, BNI worldwide generated 5.2 million referrals resulting in 6.5 billion dollars worth of business for its members.


We offer members the opportunity to share ideas, contacts and most importantly, business referrals. This is an ideal networking space for those businesses that rely heavily on referral marketing, especially entrepreneurs who want to expand their horizons. Members meet every Wednesday at 5 pm at the Access towers, Colombo 02 for a weekly meeting

“I am a web developer and a client of mine wanted me to assist with design and construction of a stall at a recent exhibition. I was able to refer the event manager in the chapter for the production of the stall, graphic designer to design brochures and the printer to print them. This is a good example of how BNI has helped all our businesses to grow in a harmonious environment, where our philosophy is “givers gain”.


Similarly, I recommend other members in the chapter to my clients, business associates or peers and get recommended for my services by the others. When members who gain services from my organisation provide positive testimonials at meetings, others who have not tried our services too feel more confident in trusting us. It really is a cycle of helping each other and gaining in return.” stated the President of the Synergy Chapter, Anjana Gunatillake.

“What is unique about this group is that only one member can represent a specific field, which leaves no room for competition within one chapter. Prospective members can visit two meetings free of charge prior to joining the group. They can then witness the proceedings of the meeting and decide if it is a right fit for their venture. Competitors of current members will not be able to be part but will be able to join another chapter if that particular chapter is not already represented by their respective field.” says Vice President, Asanka Nilan.

With the launch of the chapter, members gain access to BNI Connect –an online portal where all BNI members worldwide are connected to find suppliers and business partners globally and showcase your business offerings available to members from across the world.

If referrals are an important part of your business, then BNI is definitely the place for you. Join us at the launch of the Synergy Chapter on the 29th of October to gain an understanding on how BNI can help your business flourish.
