My BNI Story

What our Members have to Say

I have had the privilege of being a member of BNI Masters for five years, and I can confidently say that joining this exceptional networking group has been a game changer for my business. Prior to becoming a member, I relied heavily on cold calling and door-to-door sales to acquire clients. While word-of-mouth referrals gradually began to generate some business, the transformation I’ve experienced since joining BNI Masters has been remarkable.

What started as a solo operation has now evolved into a successful team at Sphere Business Services. My business model has also shifted to a subscription-based structure, significantly increasing my revenue and allowing me to better support local businesses, particularly in the Tameside area, helping them grow and thrive.

The success I have achieved would not have been possible without BNI Masters. The relationships I’ve built within this group have been invaluable, and I am proud to be part of such a dynamic and supportive community.

Joining BNI Masters Stalybridge has been a game-changer for both my business and personal growth. Before becoming a member, I wasn’t entirely confident when speaking about my company in front of a room full of people. However, through the structured meetings, regular presentations, and the support of an incredible network, I’ve developed the confidence to speak with clarity and conviction—something that has truly elevated the way I represent my business.

But BNI Masters is about so much more than just gaining business. It’s a place where like-minded professionals come together to support, educate, and push each other to achieve their goals. It’s not just networking; it’s a collective resource of knowledge, connections, and encouragement that helps everyone grow—both personally and professionally.

Being part of this chapter has shown me that success isn’t just about what you gain, but also about what you contribute. Helping others succeed is just as rewarding as achieving your own goals, and that’s what makes BNI Masters Stalybridge such a special and valuable group to be a part of. If you’re looking for a network that genuinely helps you develop and expand in every way, this is the place to be.

Being a member of BNI Masters since July 2018 has been an absolute game-changer for my business. The support, referrals, and relationships I’ve built within this group have been invaluable. BNI Masters isn’t just about generating business—it’s about being part of a community that genuinely wants to see each other succeed. The structure and accountability help keep us focused, and the connections I’ve made have led to countless opportunities. I would highly recommend BNI Masters to any business looking to grow through the power of networking.

I joined BNI Masters during one of the toughest times for the travel industry – right in the middle of the pandemic. At the time, I was new to starting my business and had no experience with networking. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but what BNI Masters has done for me goes beyond what I ever imagined.

The financial gains are important, but it’s so much more than that. It’s about the friendships I’ve made, the invaluable connections, and the support of 30+ people in the room who always have my back.

BNI Masters has given me the confidence to keep pushing forward, and thanks to the incredible network, my business has gone from strength to strength.

I’m truly grateful for the opportunities and growth it has provided, both personally and professionally.
