Marketing
We are supposed to be a marketing company, yet there is no way to directly market to anyone outside of your group. We "brag" about how there are "thousands of groups with millions of members around the world", yet we only have access to the 20-40 of us in our specific group. Kind of ridiculous don't you think? Need a way to submit a "BNI Member Discount" that would go to all members in a city, area, region, nation or international. That would be awesome and make membership worth the high prices we are now charging.

@korey - while you are free to connect with and engage in networking with other members, the intention of BNI is that we are encourage the building of relationships and external referrals, not to market to each other. In other words, we are not a buyers club :- )
That said, I encourage you to review the BNI Connect DEEP DIVE series on BNI University. There is a section for how to search for and connect with other members around the world to build relationships. In that section is also the GROUPS functionality, which allows for multiple members to collaborate online to strategize the marketing of their services.

Hope this helps!
