1. ​What is a business referral group?

​A business referral group is an organization or assembly of professionals who meet regularly to exchange business leads and referrals among its members. The primary goal of these groups is to generate new business opportunities for each other by leveraging the collective network and connections of the group. Members typically come from various industries, allowing for a diverse range of referrals. These groups often have structured meetings, follow specific guidelines for referrals, and may limit membership to one representative per industry to avoid competition within the group. Like us the Alliance.

​2. What is a business networking group?

​A business networking group is an organization or community where professionals gather to build relationships, exchange information, and explore potential business opportunities. Unlike business referral groups, which focus primarily on generating direct business leads, networking groups aim to create a broader professional network. These groups facilitate connections among members through events, meetings, and activities, fostering an environment where members can share knowledge, collaborate on projects, and support each other's business growth. Networking groups can be industry-specific or open to professionals from various fields, providing a platform for members to expand their contacts and resources.
