About BNI

Belonging to BNI is like having dozens of sales people working for you because all of them carry several copies of your business cards around with them. When they meet someone who could use your products or services, they hand out your card and recommend you. It’s as simple as that! It’s simple because it’s based on a proven concept by BNI Founder, Dr Ivan Misner, called “givers gain.” If I give you business you’ll give me business and we’ll both benefit as a result.

Last year, members of BNI passed 4.9 million referrals which generated nearly two billion dollars’ (U.S.) worth of business for the members! BNI is a business and professional networking organization that allows only one person per professional classification or specialty to join a chapter.

Would you like to increase your business by 20%, 30%, 50% or as much as 100%?

You can see results like this! Many have. Some participants have added as many as 50 new clients in the first 2 years!!! Successful businesses depend on word of mouth. Word-of-mouth advertising is the best advertising there is.

BNI provides a structured and supportive system of giving and receiving business.

About Olympic Business Exchange

Olympic Business Exchange chartered as a local chapter of Business Networking Int’l on April 1, 2005. We operate for the purpose of networking with like-minded business people to build rapport and trust with one another to facilitate the ability to confidently refer business to one another while adding value for our clients.

OBE promotes relationship building as well as a high degree of professionalism. As such we have fun while growing one another’s businesses.

Through education, we train one another to be marketing extensions for each other. Members learn to look & listen for opportunities and turn them into referrals for fellow members.

Membership to OBE is limited to 1 member per profession to limit divided loyalties and promote maximum business opportunities for each member.

In the past year the members of OBE have exchanged over 400 referrals for over $100,000 of additional income.

If you are interested in being part of this dynamic marketing team, we’d love to have you visit us at one of our weekly meetings. If our chapter already has your profession represented, we will be happy to put you in touch with BNI’s regional leadership to assist you in finding a chapter with an opening for your profession.

OBE meets weekly at 7:30 am at The Silverdale Beach Hotel.

For more information, please feel free to contact any of the members.
