Come to BNI OTR and you might win homemade sourdough!

A few of our favorite moments from the last few weeks at BNI OTR 😊

Brandi Geisler, HCM Sales Executive with Paylocity, delivered a great presentation and even included homemade sourdough bread as her door prize.

Stephanie Gulbransen, Coldwell Banker Realty, our OH Real Estate Agent, hosted the group offsite at the Coldwell office in Montgomery and catered a full spread of barbecue, giving everyone a taste of her Louisiana roots.

Karyn Bosch, our NKY Real Estate Agent, has crushed her Thank You for Closed Business (TYFCB) numbers and has really stepped up in the group since joining last month. She has already won Best Commercial twice in the four weeks she's been an official member.

We love seeing the progress and the community that continues to grow in our chapter!

Did you know? 🤔

"The lifetime value of a referred customer is 25% higher than that of other customers!" 💡

Referrals are more than just a way to grow your business—they create lasting relationships and bring in customers who are more loyal and engaged. So, next time you make a referral, remember you're not only helping a fellow professional but also contributing to the long-term success of their business.

Let's keep building our networks and sharing the opportunities for mutual growth! 🌱
