networking group
Business contact circle
A networking group is an organization where professionals meet regularly to share contacts, referrals, and business opportunities.
Members typically represent different industries to avoid competition: The networking group meets every Thursday morning for breakfast.
Some are structured with attendance requirements and referral quotas, while others operate informally.
The goal is building relationships that generate business leads.
