This is what referral marketing looks like after the referral.

PBA member Dino recently trusted fellow member Matt to clean a rug at his home. Matt delivered excellent work and Dino followed through by sharing his experience in a Google review.

That last step matters.

A referral may help a business earn one customer. A thoughtful review helps the business earn the next customer by giving people outside our chapter another reason to trust them.

One of the strengths of Portland Business Advantage is that our members don't just exchange referrals. They use each other's services, experience the quality firsthand, and when someone delivers, they help make that great work visible to others.

✅ Had a great experience with a fellow PBA member? Take a few minutes and leave them a review.

It’s a simple way to practice Givers Gain® and help strengthen another member’s business.

Beast Mode.

Congratulations to Dr. Ben for earning the Beast Mode Award by generating the highest amount of closed business for fellow chapter members through real, validated referrals.

Dr Ben at Portland Clinic of Natural Health, Naturally unlock YOUR potential to thrive at Portland's Top Naturopathic Specialist Clinic.

This recognition represents something much bigger than a number.

It represents the foundation of BNI: Givers Gain®.

Strong chapters are built by members who consistently look for opportunities to help others succeed. They listen, they connect, and they create meaningful opportunities for the people around them.

Because of members like Dr. Ben and the commitment of our entire chapter, we are on track to generate over $7 million in referred business this year.

Great things happen when business owners choose collaboration over competition.

Congratulations, Dr. Ben, and thank you for leading by example!

Jolene’s Auto Repair & Tire Pros is more than a new repair shop, it’s the next chapter in a family legacy built on honesty, hard work, and heart.

Our story began with a simple mission: to help people, provide excellent repairs, and create a place where customers could feel confident about who was caring for their vehicle.

Over the years, that mission grew into multiple trusted repair shops serving families throughout the Portland community. Now, we’re proud to continue that story with the opening of our new Jolene’s Auto Repair & Tire Pros location. Named after our daughter Jolene, this shop represents family, growth, and our commitment to serving the next generation of drivers.

We’ve invested in a brand-new 8-bay facility, modern equipment, and an incredible team so we can provide professional automotive care with the honesty, transparency, and personal attention our customers deserve.

When you walk through our doors, you’re not just another repair order. You’re a neighbor, a friend, and part of the community we’re proud to serve.

Come help us celebrate the Grand Opening of Jolene’s Auto Repair & Tire Pros. Tour our new facility, meet our amazing team, enjoy food, prizes, and giveaways, and see one of Portland’s newest state-of-the-art automotive repair shops.

Bring your family and friends. We’d love to meet you, show you around, and welcome you into the Jolene’s Auto Repair family. At Jolene’s, our family is here to take care of yours.

Are YOU having a difficult time finding an honest mechanic? Reach out to Veille, a long time member of our BNI chapter.

Sometimes the best moments in BNI happen when members find creative ways to support each other.

During Dino's recent deep dive presentation on not letting the trauma of our past prevent us from feeling meaning and joy in your life, Judith shared her talents by playing her singing bowls and creating a calming atmosphere for the room.

It was a great reminder that BNI is about much more than weekly presentations and referrals.

Strong chapters are built through relationships, generosity, and members looking for opportunities to help one another succeed.

That is the spirit of Givers Gain® bringing your unique strengths to the community and finding ways to make others better.

Thank you, Judith, for creating such a memorable experience for our chapter!

Health insurance can be one of the most important and most confusing decisions individuals, families, and business owners have to navigate.

Deductibles. Copays. Networks. Prescription coverage. Changing rules and options.

It can quickly become overwhelming.

A big thank you to Cecily for sharing her expertise during her deep dive presentation and helping our chapter better understand the complexities of health insurance.

Cecily at Greenberg and Associates Insurance. Whether you’re an Employer looking for group health options, or an individual looking for options for yourself or your family call Cecily today.

One of the greatest values of BNI is having trusted professionals we can turn to when we need guidance, a real person who cares about helping people make informed decisions.
