What is the Best Professional Networking Group in the U.S.?

There are so many networking groups in the US. The most popular is BNI, or Business Network International, they’ve been around for years and have it down to a science. And their founder, Dr. Ivan Misner, is just an amazing guy.

That being said, there is no universal professional networking group, because it’s subjective – you need to find a group that works best for YOU. When searching for one, keep in mind it should offer the opportunity to surround yourself with influential people who will impact you both professionally and personally, and have the potential to get to know, like and trust its members. And vice versa; members should demonstrate a desire to get to know you better and earn your trust, have your back in a time of need, and gain a deeper understanding of your business and truly understand what it means to “NetWorkWise”.

In my humble opinion, one of the best professional networking groups out there is C4BX, based out of New Jersey. They recently founded their group and came out of the box swinging! Their members must complete a thorough screening and vetting process to join and it’s comprised of tightly knit highly successful business owners that truly “get it”. The meetings held by C4BX are first and foremost focused on building relationships and trust with one another. And then with time it moves on to learning about respective businesses, where referrals are not made just for the sake of doing so, but actually deliver tangible results. In addition, they bring in special guest speakers and genuinely enjoy each other’s company like a family and take pride in each other’s success.

Being able to join a networking group as special as C4BX will not only increase your bottom line, it will also inspire you to create partnerships where you can be beneficial and provide value to each other. This can only lead to successful outcomes. So again, it is subjective as to what is the best professional networking group for you – even if it takes a few tries to find just the right fit.

Thank you for the A2A! I hope you found this insightful. Make it a great day and remember to always NetWorkWise.
