Business Network International is all set to launch Oman operations

BNI representatives highlighted the importance of an excellent system that can hugely benefit Oman-based businesses

MUSCAT: Business referral networking organisation BNI (Business Network International) is all set to begin operations in the Sultanate of Oman. With this, Oman becomes the 77th country where BNI will have its direct representation.

BNI representatives had a ‘Visitor Info Meeting’ at Grand Millennium on Monday to discuss the launch process in Oman and highlighted the importance of an excellent system that can hugely benefit Oman-based businesses.

“Internationally it has been supporting businesses for 38 years and now Oman-based businesses have the opportunity to acquire BNI services to grow and increase their customer base,” said a post-event press release issued on Monday.

BNI organises weekly business meetings to connect its members with diverse business partners with a view to growing business and increasing its customer base.

Dr Ivan Misner founded BNI in the USA. He is known as the “father of modern networking”.

“The meeting is in line with Oman’s official recognition as the 77th country of the BNI. Global Chairman and CEO of BNI, Graham Weihmiller emphasised that now Oman-based businesses have the opportunity to engage with BNI services to increase their businesses and grow their customer base using the modernised business networking and globally proven system,” a BNI press release said.

Oman, according to BNI, has great potential to grow as per its Oman Vision 2040 and the businesses operating in the country can benefit from the Vision provided they have the right traction and proper networking.

BNI member Yusuf Baramatiwala admits the role of BNI in the growth of his business. “I have learned one very important thing in life. To be successful, we need to be surrounded by growth-oriented and like-minded people. My quest ended with BNI. This one organisation has elevated my experience as a life coach and a speaker to an altogether new level. I am now on a mission to transform many more lives in days ahead to come. I cannot imagine even one single other organization that can bring such synergy together and harness the potential of its members like BNI does, in a timely, structured manner,” he said.
