Sales & Marketing, Business Networking, Entrepreneurship, Startup, Rapid Growth

I have worked with Mark for many years both as a BNI member in his region and as an Area Director for BNI of Central VA.

BNI is hands down the best and most cost effective way to grow one's business, and it is my pleasure to work with Mark and the rest of the team to help other business owners and sales professionals grow their businesses in the Richmond and surrounding areas. I recommend BNI for anyone serious about creating a consistent and predictable stream of referral-based revenue.

I have known Mark for years through networking and I think of him as a friend. Mark taught a Marketing class as part of the Greater Richmond GATE program. As a participant of the program, this was my first time attending on of his classes. He did an excellent job of teaching the class. I found it very important, because marketing my business services successfully is crucial. He was enthusiastic and presented the course material with clarity.

Mark is an amazing resource and a wealth of information in the area of Business Marketing for small businesses. I would recommend him to anyone seeking knowledge of Marketing.

I had the opportunity to meet and work with Mark while I was searching for a new approach to networking. I spent time in various organizations, none of which I found satisfactory. I met him through a colleague at "Dancing Elephants" who had a great experience with BNI and felt that I would benefit to the level she had. Mark is very knowledgeable about the Richmond market and the people associated with it. He has great insight into how to widen your network and provides many referrals to do so. He encourages and challenges you to expand your limits and achieve unrivaled success. Mark is the ultimate professional, as well as a caring individual, ensuring that his contributions are beneficial to the organization and its members.

Mark is a consumate business professional and a master of networking strategies.His insights into the art and science of networking have taught me much in both our work at BNI of Virginia and other projects in which we have been involved. Mark is very engaged with the startup and business incubator scene in the area and is a great source of guidance and information on Entrepreneurial activity.

I've known Mark for a few years and we first met at the BNI group where I was a member. He impressed me so much with his knowledge of the value of interpersonal networking between business owners that I had him speak at the Richmond Real Estate Investors Association where I am President. Mark truly is a gifted instructor. His personality and approach is calming yet encouraging and very positive. I highly recommend Mark as a speaker and consultant.

Mark is a great manager who knows when to manage and when to watch. I was hired as a marketing manager who needed some direction but not too much. I was excited about achieving the revenue goals and developing great partnerships with key physicians and administrators in the area. Mark coached me along the way and I can only say that he will help others the same way.

Mark has created an excellent atmosphere for BNI in Central Virginia. He has a great ability to present the BNI structure from the perspective of the small business owner. I strongly encourage decision makers who are focused on growing their business in Central Virginia to consider BNI as part of their marketing and advertising plan. BNI has helped my business by connecting me to a large network of professionals. Those relationships have naturally turned into additional revenue for my company. I am grateful for my 5 years in BNI Central Virginia.
