FAQs

To make sure there’s only one member per business category, spots are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. When someone applies, their industry and main business focus are reviewed to check if that category is already taken. If it’s open, they can join and represent that field; if not, they’re asked to pick another available category or join the waitlist. This way, there’s no overlap or internal competition, so all referrals go straight to the member for that category.

Referrals are tracked using a secure online portal where members can log in and enter details about the referrals they've given or received. The system records each referral, so members can see their activity and results any time. Each month, reports are created to show the number of referrals, who gave and received them, and whether the referrals came from inside or outside the group. This helps everyone understand the value they're getting and makes sure the process stays transparent and accountable.
Members come from a wide mix of industries, including accounting, legal services, real estate, auto repair, staffing, and insurance. There’s also space for professionals like printers, florists, DJs, massage therapists, auto detailers, driveway sealing companies, auctioneers, interior decorators, pool services, auto dealerships, gift basket companies, commercial realtors, tree companies, and psychologists. We’re always welcoming new members from other business categories too, as long as that area isn’t already filled by a current member. Each member represents only one specific category, so your business won’t have to compete for the same referrals in your field.

Every referral is given seriously because members understand that their reputation is at stake, and they only recommend businesses they genuinely trust.
