“I have found Seattle Executives Association to be beneficial on a business level, as well as a personal level.”
Washington Alarm has been a member of Seattle Executives Association for over 45 years. We continue our membership because of what Seattle Executives Association has given us in return. Over the last 45 years, Seattle Executives Association has helped Washington Alarm grow the number of monitored fire alarms and security system in the Pacific Northwest. We attribute over 1000 alarms system we have installed because of direct business with Seattle Executive Association member companies or indirect business from a member giving out our name. Washington Alarm has over 60 vendors we use on a regular basis in Seattle Executives Association. I am able to see and speak to these vendors every week at our weekly meetings. I personally joined Seattle Executives Association early in my career. The weekly meetings, speakers and member support helped me to grow as a young Executive. The incredible friendships you make in Seattle Executive Association are an added bonus!!
We waited for 10 years to get into the Seattle Executives group because there can only be one of each business category in the group at a time and it was worth the wait! We have received many great leads that turned into projects both big and small for us in the 8 yrs that we Gaspar's has been a member. Just the other day I calculated that we have done over $1,000,000 in business this year just from Seattle Execs member and leads. And I have gained friends and trusted businesses that I can call on for help.
Seattle Executive Association has worked for Greenbaum Home Furnishings for over 18 years. The reason? It is the trusted business relationships that have developed from being a member. I love that in almost any situation that arises in running a business I can pick up the phone and call a fellow member of Seattle Executives and ask for advice or if a service or product is needed I feel that the member has already been vetted so I can trust the member to give me fair and honest feedback or a reasonable price for a service or product needed. It is great to be able to meet weekly with such a talented group of businesspeople who all have the same goal of helping and promoting each other's business. It is always nice to know that when tough circumstances arrive, like the Covid crisis today, that you have fellow executives you can talk to because they are experiencing similar problems and you can bounce ideas off of each other to find solutions. Best of all, I have met such wonderful people that I am happy to call my friend today that I would never have met without our membership in Seattle Executive Association.
Seattle Exec's is an amazing organization of Puget Sound area business leaders who support each other in both personal & professional development. Every member is willing to share their experience, wisdom, time, and talents with everyone in the group, allowing all of us to raise the quality of services and products offered to the community. The group creates lifelong friendships and a network of "go to" trusted partners who not only support me, but all my clients and other business partners. Can't imagine life without Exec's.
I have been a member of the Seattle Executives Association since 2007. From the very beginning, the membership supported my business with referrals, and the relationships I have developed and the professional guidance I have received is second to none. I cannot begin to express the depth and breadth of benefits my company and I have received as a result of our involvement in this Association.
Paratex has been in Execs since 1951 starting with my grandfather then father for many decades. We've developed strong relationships not only with the member companies but shared business with their contacts as well. The power of these connections is priceless in the small business world and we love helping our fellow members. In turn we know we can rely on them to provide committed service when we need it too; from printing to legal to website hosting to security and everything in between - there's usually always an Exec we can lean on.
I have been an active member of Seattle Execs for 13 years now and I must say it is one of the best investments of time and resources that I have ever made. From a purely financial standpoint, my dues are trivial compared to the business I have generated and continue to generate from the members and the introductions I receive from the association. From a business development standpoint, I have increased confidence in speaking, presenting, and simply talking about my business to others. The social aspect of Seattle Execs cannot be ignored. You tend to do business with your friends. You also gain confidence in yourself when you have 130 other executives there to support you on a weekly basis. I cannot thank Seattle Execs enough for the value I have received over the last 11 years. I look forward to another 13 years of business and friendship.
