Business Network International was starting in 1985 in Southern California by Ivan Misner, Ph. D. when he realized that although he did use advertising, marketing, public relations, direct mail, and telephone to generate new business, most of his customers came from referrals he received from his current customers, friends, and relationships. He began calling his clients for referrals and before he knew it, he had developed a network of business people meeting regularly to offer referrals to each other. This grew into BNI, which is now in over 50 countries on every populated continent, totaling more than 6800 chapters and over 150,000 members worldwide.
