ERN is a network of small group meetings all across the city focused on finding referrals and leads for business professionals. Group Presidents guide members through an agenda focused on professional development and business growth. Members sit in industry specific chairs to make giving referrals easy. There will be no industry overlap in any one group. ERN groups have 20 members or less to facilitate relationship development and consistent one hour meeting times. ERN members are offered social events and opportunities to highlight their businesses to the whole network. A portion of member dues goes directly to the group to fund social events, meeting snacks/drinks or philanthropic efforts – it’s the groups choice where their money goes. Each group is encouraged to have a nonprofit as one of their members. ERN wants to give back to the community and support the work our nonprofits are doing in addition to supporting businesses with word of mouth referrals.

Elite Referral Network focuses not only on getting your business leads and referrals, but we also offer custom education and business development. We want you to ern more money and become a better business owner by surrounding you with the quality professionals in our network. ERN’s priority is supporting our members and keeping the income generated by this company local.

To join ERN you start with visiting a group and/or contacting a President. A list of meeting times and locations can be found on our website and in our social media feeds. All group Presidents have input on who joins their group. You will not know what group is right for you until you visit. People are welcome to visit a group twice before they will be invited to join.

Our commitment is to creating value for our members. Limiting group membership at 20 members ensures our focus remains razor-sharp on mutual support and growth, helping each member not only generate leads but also become better business owners. Smaller groups help keep meeting times to one hour each week.

Running a successful group demands a significant amount of time and effort. We believe in recognizing and rewarding the commitment and time it takes to lead a group. We pay Presidents $5 per member per month once a group gets to 10 members. Payments are distributed quarterly. We believe in paying our Presidents with actual money rather than compensating people with membership discounts and extensions.

We have a minimum of 3 social events every month. We offer Friday Afternoon Club on the 2nd and 4th Fridays from 4-6 at a variety of locations across the city, and on the 4th Wednesday of the month we gather our whole network for a variety of activities including leadership and communication workshops, national speakers presentations, expert panels, and more. We also offer free monthly Member Open House events featuring members from our entire network.

ERN is a month to month membership with a $45 fee automatically charged to your credit card. There is no contract, application fee or additional monthly fee. Canceling your membership is as easy as sending a text message. If you need to not be a member any more, we understand how business and life changes so our business model is built with flexibility and open communication.
