BNI, Networking, Referrals and Word of Mouth

I just wanted to share a great example of Marketing using Networking and Word of Mouth. I have been a member of BNI Ivyland Profesional Network group for over 3 years now and have been getting many successful referrals from with in and outside of the group. One of my current website clients is Barry Murphy from Virtual Kitchen Concepts.

An accountant in my BNI Group referred me to Barry when his new company was in need of a website, logo design and print materials. My company Media Components designed all of the marketing pieces and launched the website – www.virtualkitchenconcepts.com

Last few months I have been web consulting Apple Graphics Inc. – a Philadelphia based vehicle wraps, signs and banner printing company. Neal Freedman the founder of the company happened to be in my office building at the time when I invited him to visit my BNI group as a guest. Neal saw the potential and benefits that this group would bring to his business and became a member right away.

When I consult my clients I also open up my network of connections and contacts so that my clients can network with each other and benefit from all of the connections.

When Barry mentioned that he was interested in wrapping his box truck for marketing purposes, I immediately told him about Apple Graphics and Neal’s ability to deliver a great looking wrap design. I am very happy that it worked out and wanted to share this video testimonial that shows how Word of Mouth Networking is great for referrals and I highly recommend BNI as a vehicle for success!

Hi Denis, Just wanted to thank you for all the great work we have been doing in the last few months.
The internet marketing is starting to work. I am getting e-mails from new clients that found us through search engines. Also the social media marketing seems to also be working as we are making proofs from a client that we connected with from facebook.
The videos are awesome and I am confident that everyone that we are connected with on the web is always viewing the new work we are getting out there.
Looking forward to doing new stuff with you every week .
