WHO YOU’LL HEAR FROM

Dawn Lyons, Executive Director of BNI San Francisco Bay, and Co-Founder of Asentiv

As an expert in business networking, Dawn Lyons is the owner of 3 franchises of BNI, Business Network International, the world’s largest networking and referral marketing organization as well as the Co-Founder of Asentiv, an international consulting and training company. BNI is the organization where her clients complete the activities around referral marketing and networking, and Asentiv is where they go to understand the science behind referral marketing. Both companies allow Dawn to work with entrepreneurs who are looking to gain more business by profitable referral relationships. She is in the BNI Hall of Fame along with only 3 other people in the history of the company to open 20 chapters in one calendar year. Her local BNI franchise serves Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, Santa Clara, Solano, and Sonoma counties. In fact, in 2016, 1,800 BNI SF/Bay members generated over $120 MILLION for each other (or an average of over $66,000)!

She is a contributing author to the New York Times Best Seller “Masters of Sales” and a keynote speaker on networking and referrals. Her latest book, "A Room Full of Referrals®" shows business owners how their behavioral style is affecting their referability! She has been hired to speak to audiences of over 500+ people in Ireland, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, Australia, Canada, and across the US.

When she is not working she travels, gardens, entertains, and enjoys the bounty of wines in Sonoma County. She also sponsors 3 White Bengal Tigers in a rescue in Wisconsin. These Big Cats (lions, tigers and leopards) have been neglected, abused or abandoned and now have a place to live out the rest of their lives. Her two desires are to start a Big Cat Rescue in Northern California and help her clients generate an amazing business by referral and have them aspire to their spectacular life!
