Nivasie Malabe host BNI Sri Lanka’s diverse business gathering

-

Nivasie Malabe, the country’s very first vertical living experience that spreads across a stunning 22-acres of prime space featuring an exclusive modern community with a mix of houses and apartment, recently hosted a business gathering of BNI Abundance, Sri Lanka’s first hall of fame and third chapter of the largest business networking organizati­on in the world BNI.

Held on the 21st December at the Orchid- 2 apartment complex, the event saw the participat­ion of profession­als and leading personalit­ies from many diversifie­d background­s. Many members, especially budding entreprene­urs who want to expand their horizons, had the opportunit­y to share ideas, contacts and business referrals.

Today, for most of the businesses, recommenda­tions are what drive the business. According to research findings, 92pct of the consumers are more likely to trust their peers over advertisin­g when it comes to purchasing decisions. And BNI Sri Lanka continues to strengthen its networking, with the highest valued referral generated within the country amounting to USD5.2mn and counting.

The members also went on to tour the 160-unit 12 storied apartment, the phase two of Nivasie’s Orchid apartment project ready to be occupied by March 2018. This comes after its previous success of the 94-unit 11-storied apartment. Many members found the apartment interestin­g as it feels like the ideal location for a home away from the city with many greenery surroundin­g naturefres­h air, less noise and a relaxing environmen­t.
