Lawrence Roberts Executive Director – BNI Saskatchewan
When it comes to me, there is not much to say, I’m rather boring, but what I could talk about forever is, the great BNI members we have in the Province. Members of BNI in Saskatchewan have referred over $3.5 million dollars of business to each other in the last 12 months. Business professionals from a variety of industries are supporting each other and helping each other increase sales, through a structured word-of-mouth marketing system, that is BNI. They are building better communities, by creating jobs, supporting local charities and creating national connections. Changing the Way, the World does Business.
