Northwestern Mutual "With a mission to help my clients attain financial security for their families and businesses, I am committed to providing each of my clients with strong financial solutions that are tailored to their particular needs and goals. I attribute my recent promotion in part to my membership in the Greater Hartford Chapter of BNI. BNI has been pivotal to my success in the financial services industry, and has allowed me to achieve a goal that only 3 out of the last 50 reps hired by Northwestern Mutual in New England have been able to do. The motto, “Givers Gain”, holds true and I love to help others grow their business, as mine continues to grow as well." Duncan Rowles

"Do you purchase Lottery Tickets? Or Power Ball? If the "prize" is large enough (a subjective and moving target) I do - even knowing that the odds are better that I will be struck by lightning. What are the odds of "hitting a big one" in BNI? I never did - but during my 12 years in the Hartford - now Greater Hartford - Chapter I did see it happen. One member received no referrals for her first 5 to 6 months and then got a contract for over $50,000 that really got her business going. One, in which I was the referral writer, has resulted in repeat business for the past 5 or more years. Another one in which I had my hand has resulted in 2 national contracts generating revenue in excess of over $200,000 over the past 2 to 3 years - and their revenue is still growing. Was there a silver bullet? Lightning? Not really - unless you consider BNI to be the silver bullet."

"Being part of the Greater Hartford BNI chapter has given me so much more than just great client referrals. Through BNI, I have received sales training in the art of networking and access to educational materials, networking events and other resources that have contributed to my professional development. It has also helped me to strengthen my existing client relationships by becoming the source for referrals; my clients know that whatever they need, I know somebody they can trust who will help."
