Membership
SoCal Networking is a membership-based organization whose primary purpose is to help grow our members’ businesses via the peer-to-peer exchange of qualified business leads. One major requirement of the group is that we do not allow overlap in the business categories our current members have already secured for themselves. This means that all members serve one business category, and each category has exclusivity. Members act on a pay it forward philosophy. If you refer business leads to other members, you should see referrals come back to you.
Other than that, our requirements are quite simple:
• We have a monthly networking opportunity that members should attend. We share updates, goals, challenges and ask for support in certain areas.
• You should connect and get to know other members in the group individually. This helps build and strengthen relationships.
• We have a required quarterly mixer that happens somewhere unique throughout Southern California. This is where we kick back and celebrate.
Steps to Becoming a Member
