			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><h2><span style="color: #800000;">How do you generate new business?</span></h2>
<p>At the <strong>Midday Referral Group</strong>, Danville we exchange business referrals through word-of-mouth marketing following the principles outlined by BNI (Business Network International).</p>
<p>We operate on the <em>Givers Gain</em> philosophy in that those who give business freely to others will benefit by getting business in return.</p>
<p>BNI is unique in that it allows only one person per profession to join a chapter. Thus, once you&#8217;ve joined, none of your competitors can participate in that chapter. Your fellow members are<em> your</em> sales representatives.<br />
<span id="more-787"></span><br />
Currently we meet every Wednesday from 11:30 am to 1 pm at Crow Canyon Country Club, 711 Silver Lake Drive, Danville, CA 94526 (<a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=711+Silver+Lake+Drive,++Danville,+CA+94526,+USA&amp;sourceid=navclient-ff&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;rlz=1B3GGGL_en___US231&amp;um=1&amp;sa=N&amp;tab=wl"><em>map &amp; directions</em></a>).</p>
<p>We encourage you to attend a meeting at our chapter as our guest to learn how the <strong>Midday Referral Group, Danville</strong> can help you build your business.</p>
