Because business isn’t just about what you know, it’s about who you know.

Chaim Retek of GNP Insurance.

 As a veteran business owner, with 60+ employees with locations in Brooklyn, upstate NY, and now Florida, Mr. Chaim Retek has a lot of insight that comes from experience. And one of those insights is into the value of networking shows, the best of which is OJBA, in his opinion.

“OJBA has something special that no one else has. Every year we make great connections. Every year we solve problems for clients right there at the show!” GNP has been attending OJBA since the beginning and Mr. Retek thinks the explosive growth of the show, as well as the heimish business community, is nothing short of remarkable. 

Mr. Retek’s company which insures all types of industries, from construction to food service, to health care and everything in between, is growing really fast. They’ve recently opened a branch in Florida which they are planning to expand soon. And they’re not opposed to expanding to other regions of the U.S. too. One of GNP’s standout qualities is their ability to tackle complex problems creatively, which sets them apart in the industry.

 So what is the secret to the success of one of the largest heimish insurance companies? “Obviously it’s all siyatta d’shmaya and you need to thank Hashem for that. Be thankful and appreciative to those who help you along the way. And- when you meet with clients be quiet! You’re not there to tell them what you want them to hear, you’re there to listen!”
