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.
To register as a guest and attend a meeting, just visit our website and look for the “Be a Guest” invitation or registration button. Fill out the short form with your contact info, and we’ll reach out with details about the next meeting you can attend. You can also find event schedules and more info about participation on the site. If you have questions, there’s a contact form available where you can send a message directly.
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.
A business referral group like ours is more structured than an open networking meetup. Each member represents one business category, so there’s no competition within the group, and everyone’s focused on exchanging real, qualified referrals—not just handing out business cards. We hold regular meetings, keep track of referrals, and actually measure how much business is being passed. In an open networking event, you might meet lots of people, but it’s mostly about casual mingling and there’s no built-in system for follow-up or referrals. Here, trust and long-term professional relationships are the main focus, helping members grow their businesses through genuine connections.
Members get access to an online member directory and several tools that help manage referrals. You can log in securely to keep your profile up to date, track the referrals you give and receive, see reports and stats, and even download referral forms if you want. Everything is set up to make networking smoother and more organized, so you always know where you stand and can keep building good business connections.
To see if your industry category is open, just check our website’s member directory or list of current members. Each member holds a unique business spot, so categories aren’t duplicated. If you don’t see your business type listed, then your category is most likely open. You can also contact us through the website or register as a guest to get confirmation before visiting an event.
Members are expected to attend regular meetings and actively participate by giving quality referrals to other members. Consistent attendance helps build trust and keeps you connected with the group, while sharing referrals shows that you’re invested in helping others grow their businesses too. Over time, your engagement in meetings and the referrals you give usually lead to stronger relationships and more business opportunities for everyone involved. Attendance and referral activity are tracked, so being active really does make a difference, both for you and the network.
