“We feel that we can deal with BizX on a handshake, and they always follow through with what they say they will do. We don’t have to worry like we do with other trade organizations. It’s been a big part of my business.” – David Lipman, owner of Connected NW. BizX Member since August 2003.

“BizX has helped me reach my objectives as a business owner.”
Robert Folgedalen, owner of Mr. Electric of Greater Seattle, has found that BizX can easily be used to conserve cash while still being able to purchase the things he needs to grow his business. Whether it’s something minor like business cards, or purchases that are more critical for running his business like auto maintenance or payroll services, “there really is no shortage of places to spend BizX,” said Folgedalen.
Like most businesses, advertising is important for the success of Mr. Electric. BizXchange provides an affordable and easy-to-find avenue for purchasing advertising due to the large variety of media possibilities. “My goal is to use BizX for advertising that will get me cash clients,” said Folgedalen. Among other things, his future plans include using his BizX for broadcast advertising.
BizXchange has also allowed Folgedalen to increase his personal compensation by spending on upgrades to his home and taking the occasional vacation. By covering these personal expenses with BizX, Folgedalen is able to leave more cash in his business. Folgedalen has learned to manage his BizX income wisely, finding a good balance of personal and business related purchases.
Along with conserving cash, Folgedalen also points out that one of the reasons for joining BizXchange was to network and “to gain new business relationships.” “The experiences have been great. BizX has helped me reach my objectives as a business owner and continues to do so.”
