Jurga Merkevičienė has been a loyal member of the BNI Mercury export club for 7 years, representing Modulit Solutions. This is an international distributor of Pro AV solutions and equipment, actively operating in more than 27 European countries. From her first steps at BNI to an impressive €400,000 in generated turnover through member referrals alone, Jurga’s journey shows what consistent involvement and the power of community can bring.
Modulit Solutions – everything for AV professionals in one place
Modulit Solutions has been providing professional audiovisual solutions for more than 7 years, serving more than 3,000 active customers across the continent. The company offers everything AV system integrators need: from ergonomic solutions for offices to high-end audio and video equipment, project consulting, logistics, and training. The company’s success is based on its many years of experience, reliable supply channels, and ability to adapt to the specific needs of each project. In addition, Modulit Solutions is expanding its activities not only in Lithuania, but also through its Modulit Polska representative office, developing relations in the markets of Central Asia, Southeast Europe, and the Baltic countries.
From timidity to purposeful growth
“The first meetings were full of timidity,” Jurga recalls of her first moments at the BNI Mercury club. There were many new faces and questions about how not to get lost among the inquiries and remain visible. However, over time, BNI Mercury meetings have become a productive and eagerly awaited part of the week – important connections are made here, business opportunities arise, and each guest opens up new avenues for cooperation.
Why BNI Mercury?
Jurga firmly believes that BNI Mercury helps to grow where traditional sales channels often falter. As an exporting company with a representative office in Poland and customers from Central Asia to Southeast Europe, Modulit Solutions is looking not only for customers but also for partners. Jurga is convinced that every contact can be a stepping stone to expansion in a new market.
The value of membership – the numbers speak for themselves
From the very first weeks, BNI Mercury membership generated a real return. Jurga does not hide her pride: “I generated over €400,000 in turnover.” BNI helped not only to find customers, but also to create strong partnerships and sometimes even to find friends.
New goals – targeted expansion in the region
In the coming years, Jurga will focus on strengthening contacts and sales growth in Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. Partnership teams have been formed in these countries, and visits to BNI chapters in Riga and Tallinn have already been planned. Jurga believes that it is the cooperation between BNI members that will help her take solid steps into these markets.
A wish for the community
“I always say that BNI is a powerful tool for growing sales and discovering new sales channels. However, it is important to understand that nothing will be handed to you on a silver platter – you have to put in the effort, work, and initiative,” Jurga shares.
She encourages people not only to be visible, but also to actively use all the advantages of the network: ask questions, request specific contacts, visit other clubs, and participate in events.
“BNI not only helps to generate sales – it is a great platform for expanding your circle of contacts, acquaintances, and even friends. It brings together people who want to help each other – to recommend, advise, or simply support. It is a community where new connections and new opportunities are born.”
