The most successful business relationships are built on the "Know > Like > Trust" factors.

Over the years of networking, we noticed that everyone builds relationships differently. It takes multiple touchpoints and interactions until we feel comfortable in referring business to others.

That's why we include various ways to network. We do host weekly meetings (currently virtual only) However, attending them is not required for membership because our online platform provides connection so you can build rapport outside of weekly meetings. Collectively, all of these ways help build the relationship to get you to the trust factor

• Exclusive online platform for daily dialogue with other members
• Directory of members, to reach out directly
• Curated introductions
• Facilitated networking events
• One-on-one connections

Our personalized profiles and member directory give you the options on how you want to network. You can elect to be open to new 1:1 curated introductions from our Founders--or not. You can update your profile if you get busy and need a break. Or you can elect to only make connections on your own. It's up to you!

Networking not only builds business referral relationships, but it also creates the opportunity for collaborations.

No, we aren't saying that everyone meets a business partner here... but we are saying people in similar industries have come together to combine content and audiences for a more powerful show of information.

We've also seen the magic in our "need help" area... where members are able to ask for advice or suggestions on who can help them with something specific... even a job for their daughter!

Collaborations are possible and encouraged:

• Our community is not category specific. We actually encourage businesses in similar categories to get to know each other.
• A specific communication channel to ask for help, ideas, or assistance.
• Social media engagement pods

We invite our members to contribute their knowledge to the community, to help others understand their expertise.

This can be done through our online chat channels, participating in, or facilitating one of our brainstorming sessions. We've actually have had members gain clients as a result of brainstorming together!

• Facilitated brainstorming events
• Ability to facilitate your own brainstorm event, around your topic of expertise
• Recorded member content, saved in our private, password-protected member portal for current members to reference if they need to learn more about a topic.

Have you ever been to the business meetings where everyone goes around and gives their pitch, and by the time everyone's had their turn the meeting is over? Yeah, we have too. That's why we don't do things that way.

We host a variety of networking events, happy hours, and learning sessions.

It's up to you how much you want to engage in. (P.S. All events are currently virtual. Click here to see our upcoming events).

Our networking events are interactive and discussion-based. We've even been known to throw in a game of Bingo or "would you rather" every now and then. Members find these an awesome opportunity to connect and learn about each other.

Other ways we encourage a fun community include;

• Win points for attending meetings, having one-on-one connections, and other things! Cash in points for gift cards. Participate enough, and this can pay for your membership!
• We celebrate birthdays, share in each other's successes, and help each other out.
