Monthly membership is $5, which covers meeting expenses, materials, and chapter operations. Payment plans are available. Visiting is free and there's no obligation to join after visiting.
Yes, consistent attendance is a core requirement. The relationships and referrals that make this group valuable only develop through regular face-to-face interaction. We do understand that occasional absences happen due to illness, travel, or emergencies, but weekly attendance is expected.
Typically, visitors attend 1-2 meetings before deciding whether to apply for membership. If you need a third visit, speak with the membership committee. We want you to make an informed decision.
We maintain strict one-person-per-category exclusivity. If your category is filled, you can ask to be added to a waitlist or inquire about related subcategory openings. For example, if "Real Estate Agent" is filled, "Commercial Real Estate" might be available.
No. While members do share 30-second business updates, our focus is on building genuine relationships and exchanging qualified referrals—not pitching to each other. We're relationship-first, not pitch-first. You're not here to sell to the room; you're here to build trust so members confidently refer you to their networks.
Great question. Here's how we're different:
- Structure: We have a proven weekly agenda designed to maximize referral exchange. Mixers are unstructured.
- Consistency: You see the same people every week. Mixers have rotating attendees.
- Accountability: We track referrals and hold members accountable for participation.
- Exclusivity: One per category means no competition inside the room.
- Commitment: Our members are serious about helping each other grow, not just collecting business cards.
Each 60-minute meeting follows this structure:
- 7:45-8:00 AM: Open networking
- 8:00-8:05 AM: Welcome
- 8:05-8:20 AM: Member 30-second pitches
- 8:20-8:50 AM: Member Presentation
- 8:50-8:55 AM: Referral exchange and tracking
- 8:55-9:00 AM: Announcements and one-to-one scheduling
We welcome new business owners, but you must be fully committed to your venture (not a side hustle) and able to fulfill referrals professionally. Members need confidence that when they refer you, you'll deliver excellent service.
