About Crossroads Business Networking Pleasanton, a BNI Chapter

The Crossroads Business Networking Pleasnton Chapter is part of Business Network International (BNI), a business and professional networking organization that allows only one person per profession to join a chapter. Started in January of 1985 by Founder and CEO Ivan R. Misner, Ph.D., BNI provides a positive, supportive and structured environment to further business through word of mouth marketing.

There are now over 4,000 BNI Chapters in 26 countries and have passed more than 4.4 million referrals, over $1.7 Billion worth of business generated worldwide!

Our Crossroads Business Network Chapter in Pleasanton was established in 2003 and has grown to be a very successful place for business owners like yourselves to expand the business through referral marketing and networking.

The Crossroads Business Network chapter in Pleasnton was organized in mid-2002. After finding their professional categories filled at another BNI chapter, John Hall and Tim Soldati decided to form their own chapter. The two of them, along with another member, began meeting on a weekly basis to network and exchange business referrals. One by one, the group began to grow. After reaching approximately 12 members, the group hosted a large visitor’s event which allowed them to officially launch the chapter in early 2003. The chapter has had steady growth since that time and it’s membership has reached as many as 32 members. The group continues to meet on a weekly basis to network and exchange referrals; and has become one of the most successful chapters of BNI. Since it’s inception, the members have passed well over $1 million in closed business referrals between them.
