		<description>Dear Dr.Misner,

In fact many business need a sort of strong referral case. There is a small percentage which do not fit in this segment for various internal dynamics of respective business.
But the process of getting regular and reliable business is only through referrals. Knowingly or un-knowingly people do follow the same process. In fact the eighteen building blocks which gets familiar during BNI MSP is the core and every one in business follow that process. The difference is one cannot identify in which one they are master and in which one they are not. Only after certain analysis and education one understand it.
The gist is clear. Its majority of business through referral coupled with excellent product and services which normally goes without saying in referral transactions.

		<description>Dear Dr. Misner,

Not only does most of my business come as a result of my efforts in BNI, my best business also comes via this method.

Most advertising is &quot;faith based&quot; and so many advertising people will blame bad copy or other flaws in the ad for low/no response rates.

The internet offers the greatest media for testing and analyzing marketing with the proper tools and know-how. This requires lots of resources and skills not common to most small business owners. 

Nothing has given me anything close to the ROI of my time and money like BNI and referral marketing has. Nothing.
