Profitable Networking
The Athens Referral Factory is the best networking group in Athens, Georgia. With approximately 55 members plus weekly guests, this group is the premier place to meet business owners and company representatives servicing Athens and the surrounding areas. We represent a wide variety of service and retail businesses. With several of our founding members still an active part of the membership, their loyalty and our results show this is a great opportunity for anyone wanting to grow their business!
Last year, the Athens Referral Factory passed over $1.3 million in business! That's recorded sales between member referrals. Each week we record all referrals passed. Accountability is the key to our success. Members are expected to be honest in their dealings with one another and their referrals. Any complaints between members are dealt with quickly by our membership committee. We all see our membership as a privilege and want to foster cooperation and mutual benefits among all members.
Are you looking for a way to grow your business? Can you honestly say you don't need more business? The Athens Referral Factory can be a great source for new contacts, new business, and network opportunities. Test it out for yourself! You can be our guest at no charge. Enjoy a complimentary breakfast, see how the meeting goes, and let us know what you think. Even if you don't join, we would love to get your feedback so we can improve our meeting. We hope to see you this Thursday!

I joined BNI, Athens Referral Factory in May 2004, just when it was barely 5 months old. Being a Rotary Club member for 35 years brought probably 20 patients to my office and I must say they all are quite loyal and good patients and very much appreciated. That cannot compare to what BNI has done for my Optometric practice’s bottom line. Although I am an established practitioner, I cannot imagine being in business and NOT being in a BNI chapter. Growth is quicker and exposure is much better than any service club or volunteer work I’ve ever done. The minimal fees involved are well worth the investment in your personal and professional growth. You reap much more than you sow. Don’t think about it… JUST DO IT! ! ! You won’t regret it.
