Six steps from guest to growth
Every Lead Network member walks the same path. It’s simple by design — show up, give generously, and let trust do the compounding.
- 01Step 01
Visit as a guest
Come to a weekly meeting with no strings attached. Watch real referrals change hands, meet the members, and get a feel for the room before you commit to anything.
No commitment - 02Step 02
Apply for your seat
Like what you see? Apply for the open seat in your category. Because each club holds just one seat per trade, approval locks in your exclusivity — no one else in your line of work can join.
One seat per trade - 03Step 03
Attend every week
Show up consistently. The members who win treat the weekly meeting like a standing sales appointment — trust compounds, and so do the referrals headed your way.
90 minutes / week - 04Step 04
Give referrals first
Networking that works is give-before-you-get. Pass warm introductions to the members whose work you trust, and the room reciprocates — that’s the engine of the whole club.

Track your TYFCB
When a referral closes into paid work, report the value. Your Thank-You-For-Closed-Business tally turns goodwill into a number you can actually put on the board.
Real dollars, tracked - 06Step 06
Grow your business
Watch a predictable pipeline of warm, high-converting business build week over week — from a network that knows you, trusts you, and refers you by name.
Compounding pipeline
The language of the room
Two small concepts do most of the heavy lifting inside a club. Learn these and the rest falls into place.
What is a One-to-One?
A one-to-one is a focused, off-the-clock meeting between two members — usually over coffee. You each learn what the other does, who your ideal referral is, and how to spot an introduction worth passing. It’s where surface-level acquaintance turns into a referral partnership.
- Trade your ideal-client profile so referrals get sharper
- Understand each other’s work well enough to refer with confidence
- The single biggest predictor of how many referrals you receive
What is TYFCB?
TYFCB — “Thank You For Closed Business” — is how the club measures what actually matters: dollars. When a referral you received turns into paid work, you report its value and thank the member who sent it. It keeps everyone accountable to results, not just activity.
- Reported publicly so referrers get credit for what they generate
- Turns goodwill into a hard number on the club’s board
- Shows every member the real return on their seat
One seat per trade
Your category is exclusively yours. No competing for the room’s referrals.
Givers gain
Refer first. Consistent givers are the members who receive the most.
Warm, not cold
Every referral is a trusted introduction — not a name on a list.
Measured in dollars
Closed business is tracked, so your return is never a guess.
90 minutes, run like clockwork
Structure is what makes the magic repeatable. Every Lead Network meeting follows the same tight agenda, so members always know what to prepare and visitors always know what to expect.
Same time, every week
Consistency is the whole point.

Open networking
7:00 AMArrive early for coffee and unstructured conversation. This is where One-to-Ones get booked and warm introductions start taking shape before the meeting even opens.
- 2
Member presentations
7:30 AMEach member gets 60 seconds to say who they are, what they do, and exactly what a great referral looks like for them this week. Specific asks get specific results.
- 3
Referral exchange
8:05 AMThe heart of the meeting. Members stand and hand over the warm introductions they’ve gathered — a name, a context, and permission to make the call.
- 4
TYFCB reports
8:30 AMMembers announce closed business from referrals received — real dollars, thanked publicly. The room sees exactly what the network is producing, week over week.

Close & next steps
8:45 AMVisitors are welcomed, One-to-Ones for the coming week are confirmed, and the club wraps on time. You leave with introductions to make and appointments on the calendar.
Everything you were about to ask
The honest answers to the things guests wonder before they claim a seat.
No. Your first visit is always as a guest. Come to a weekly meeting, watch the referrals flow, meet the members, and see whether the seat for your trade is a fit — all with zero commitment. Most members visited two or three times before they applied.
Each club holds a single seat for each profession — one mortgage broker, one commercial photographer, one family lawyer. Once that seat is claimed, the category is closed. It means every referral in your category comes to you, and you never compete for business with a fellow member.
Plan for the weekly meeting (about 90 minutes) plus one or two One-to-Ones with fellow members. The members who see the biggest return treat it like a standing sales appointment — they show up, prepare a clear ask, and follow through on the referrals they receive.
That’s normal, especially early on. Referrals are a habit that builds as you learn what each member does. In the meantime you can bring a visitor, share a testimonial, or book a One-to-One — all of which strengthen the room and keep referrals moving toward you.
No — and the difference is the whole point. A lead is a name and a number. A referral is a warm introduction from someone who already trusts both parties, often with the prospect expecting your call. Referrals close at a far higher rate because the trust is transferred with the introduction.
TYFCB stands for “Thank You For Closed Business.” When a referral turns into paid work, you report the value so the person who referred you gets credit. It keeps the club honest about real dollars — not just activity — and shows every member exactly what their network is worth.
Your application goes to the club’s membership committee, who confirm your category is open and that you’re ready to give as well as get. Approval usually takes a few days. Once you’re in, you’re onboarded, introduced to the room, and paired for your first One-to-Ones.
Yes. You’re welcome to visit other clubs as a guest to network beyond your home room, and if you relocate you can transfer your membership to a club near you, seat availability permitting. Your track record and TYFCB history travel with your Lead Network profile.
See the referrals for yourself
Now that you know how it works, the best next step is to watch it happen. Visit a club as a guest this week — no commitment, just a seat at the table.
