About RBG Professionals
The RBG Professionals is a BNI chapter which was formed to bring together business and professional people within the Golden Horseshoe Region. Currently there are members in good standing from Hamilton, Burlington, Stoney Creek, Dundas, and the surrounding area. The dynamics of the group is a combination of business, health, and personal goods and services (view our member directory).
The RBG Professionals meet for a breakfast business meeting every Thursday morning from 7:00 to 8:30 a.m. at the Royal Botanical Gardens Cafe located at 680 Plains Rd West in Burlington (need directions?).
The long term stability of the RBG Professionals depends upon introducing new people to our group and we welcome anyone interested to join us for breakfast.

Compare the Value
Most business people advertise and we would not suggest that you stop advertising. However, compare the value between advertising and word-of-mouth marketing. Being a member of BNI is like having up to 40 sales people marketing your product or service every day.
Good referrals offer the opportunity to do business with someone who is in the market to buy your product or service. Each member knows many people. This extended network is a rich database of potential business available to members of the BNI.
Word-of-mouth is the most cost-effective form of advertising. BNI provides a structured environment for the development and exchange of quality business referrals.
