BUSINESS NETWORK INT'L. (BNI) provides a structured, supportive business environment in which local business people can get together to network, learn valuable new marketing skills and develop the strong personal relationships that lead to trust and the consequent generation of significant business for each other. Being active in a BNI chapter is like having up to forty sales people working for you because your fellow members will be carrying your business cards and referring your business to people they meet. Successful businesses depend on "word-of-mouth" marketing as the most powerful form of promotion there is. Members of a Business Network Int'l. chapter pass thousands of referrals each year generating millions of dollars worth of business for members! BNI is a business and professional networking organization that allows only one person per profession to join a chapter essentially locking out your competition. All the other members of your BNI chapter carry several copies of your business cards around with them. When they meet someone who could use your products or service, they hand your card out and recommend your services. It's as simple as that! It's simple because it's based on the proven concept of "what goes around, comes around." If I help you, you'll help me, and we will both benefit as a result. Would you like to increase your business by 20%, 30%, 50% or as much as 100%? You can see results like this - Many have! Some participants have added as many as 50 new clients in the first 2 years!! Successful businesses depend on Word-of-Mouth advertising - it's the best form of advertising there is. BNI provides a practiced and supportive system of giving and receiving business. It does so by providing an environment in which you develop personal relationships with dozens of other qualified business professionals. By establishing this "formal" yet comfortable relationship with other business people, you will have the opportunity to substantially increase your business.

This wasn't a tour where they rode bikes, and had a van hauling the equipment. They hauled everything on their bikes. No gas. 100% leg powered. Playing little towns that don't often get shows by "touring bands" - they were able to share their brand of music with people who weren't particularly familiar with indie-pop, or indie anything.

They returned to Portland anxious to complete their first full-length album. The long road to this album has paid off in spades.
