BNI Mercury’s Export Chapter has welcomed a new member – Mindaugas Liaukonis, representing the strategic transformation agency ELEVATOR. The agency specializes in solving business problems by implementing efficient solutions and transforming it to unprecedented profit.
We are confident that his professionalism, perseverance and desire to add value to the community will inspire other members, strengthen our relationships and encourage mutual growth!
The beginning of a business journey spanning over 20 years
Mindaugas has been working with the ELEVATOR brand for 2 years now. However, his business experience goes back much further – more than 20 years of leading various multinational companies and projects across Europe. As the new BNI member says, the ELEVATOR story was born out of a desire to help businesses overcome challenges. M. Liaukonis reveals, “People are reluctant to admit they have problems. It’s psychologically difficult. They always want more, better, easier. That’s why, instead of climbing the stairs, we find it easier to take an elevator. So, if your business hit the ceiling, you can take the Elevator!”
First introduction to BNI
Mindaugas first learned about the BNI organization from Tadas Kvasilius, a member of the BNI Aras Chapter, and discovered the BNI Mercury Chapter by browsing the BNI website. “Suitable meeting time, cosy meeting space, good team, friendly members and solid businesses are in this chapter,” explained Mindaugas when asked what made him join BNI Mercury.
Goals after becoming a part of the export chapter
By joining BNI, M. Liaukonis hopes to share his experience in international business environment, help others and make useful business connections. Mindaugas is fond of BNI’s “Givers Gain” principle, which encourages him to share and help others first. “For most of my life, I was used to receiving rather than giving” admits the representative of ELEVATOR, “and now I feel that I gain when I share myself and give first. Bliss. It’s both pleasant and rewarding.”
Advice to prospective members
When asked about his advice to future BNI members, Mindaugas replies simply: “Try it.” After all, sometimes the best experience come just by being willing to start. We hope his advice will inspire future members to take the first step towards a growing and supportive community!
