FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the Goal of B&B Network?

The goal of B&B Network is to build relationships, collaborate & pass as many referrals to others so you, in return receive referrals & grow meaningful connections to help grow your business.

“The energy that you put out comes back to you.” – Eckhart Tolle.

What do you mean by Business exclusive?
Each group in the B&B Network is business/industry-exclusive meaning that there can only be one member from each category allowed in each group as a paid member (i.e. one realtor or one photographer in each group).
What are the membership fees used for?
Membership fees cover all administrative costs, including the website and other platforms, as well as food and beverages at all in-person events. They also fund our Quarterly Guest Speaker events, Fall and Spring community events, special events, and prizes. Best of all, members enjoy FREE admission to all these events as part of their membership!
Is there an Attendance Policy?
YES! Attendance plays a big factor in successful networking & relationship building. Our groups meet virtually & in-person. Members are expected to join the meeting on time & stay for the duration. You may have up to 5 absences in a 6 month period.
Can I invite a Guest or be a Guest to check out a meeting?
Guests are encouraged and may attend a meeting twice before determining if they are interested in membership assuming their business category is available. We encourage inviting guests to our weekly meeting, and helping the community grow!
What If a Business Isn't Represented in Our Group?
If a specific business isn’t represented in your group, you can check the members of other groups within the B&B Network. A full roster of all B&B Network members is available in the Members Only section. If the business is represented in another group, you can refer to them, and it will be considered a cross-group referral!
What is considered a referral?

A referral is a personal introduction that connects a business or professional to a potential client, partner, or resource. In our networking group, referrals are about fostering genuine connections built on trust, so we can confidently share each other’s expertise with our circle of influence. A referral can take many forms, such as introducing a member to someone in person, through email, or via text. It can also involve engaging on social media by tagging or commenting on posts to boost visibility. To take it a step further, we encourage screenshotting the tagged post and sharing it with the member so they can follow the conversation and follow up. Referrals are more than just mentions—they’re intentional, meaningful connections that help us grow our businesses and strengthen our networks, all while supporting the “know, like, and trust” foundation of our group.

What Is a Collaboration?
A collaboration is a one-on-one meeting with another member, whether in person, virtually, or over the phone, to dive deeper into understanding who they are and what they do. This helps grow the “know, like, and trust” factor between members. Additionally, a collaboration can involve two businesses working together to promote each other through a joint event or another business opportunity.
