Julie and Krista are both members of the Sound BNI Chapter in Branford. Krista's testimonial: " I have been working with Ms. Julie Braun for the last 1 1/2 years and have found that it has been not only the best money ever spent but also the best business partnership that I have made. My goal initially with Julie was to build my brand - Sogno, Boutique of Dreams – and obviously build more profits. We started with a wonderful process called 'Brand Essence' which was educational - still to this day - and have built that into a 'way of operating' Sogno every day. I learned so much from her during that process, that I did hire her for marketing, public relations, and event promotions. Working with her in this way has increased my profits, my name recognition, my clientele base, and it has gotten me on Channel 8 News 7 times in the last year along with numerous other media partnerships." Julie's response: "I've worked with Krista through thick and thin and the referral that she gave me actually made me teary-eyed. Not only because of her thoughtful words, but because she is my friend and has an incredible business that is on the brink of greatness...her store, Sogno, Boutique of Dreams, really is a shopping sanctuary."

Jim O’Shea Achievement Unlimited BNI is the best system I know for networking and growing sales. Chambers of Commerce, industry associations, and social groups have their place, and I belong to many such organizations. But no group more directly leads to increased referrals and sales than BNI. BNI provides a venue for developing strong business relationships and a system that ensures accountability and generates qualified referrals. In my chapter, I have a team of people I can confidently refer and who know me well enough to refer me with confidence. BNI also provides excellent educational opportunities and a safe environment in which to develop public speaking and presentation skills. As someone who coaches businesspeople in effective networking, public speaking, and presenting, I strongly encourage joining a BNI chapter to grow your sales and develop your selling skills.
