Yes, if you're in business,it's investing. It's a way of advertising your brand. In each 'Chapter' or mini group,there are about 30 serious business people who are supposed to market you to thousands of other people out there.You get the advantage of being the sole brand from your line of trade,thus all business in that line automatically goes to you. If your group is strong enough, and depending on what business you're in, you end up making many times more the 122k invested. Am not a member but i show up sometimes when they invite guests,and i have honestly done serious business with my cards in that forum and met very inspiring business people. I know of a very young lady who has become a self made millionaire by just being in the BNI network for 1 and a half years! But again,it depends on your line of business...

Thanks... as you've said,it makes more sense to people who're in business. because they only understand the power of 'word of mouth networking'!
