What is a meeting like?
- Commerce Connections is a professional and friendly group that welcomes visitors and strengthens existing relationships. All meetings have an agenda, guest and member introductions, scheduled speakers, educational moments, and a review of the group's current KPIs, "VENATOR."
What are some other differences between this group and other networking groups?
- Commerce Connections combines the most effective elements from various networking group styles to create a dynamic, growth-oriented community. We focus on helping members thrive through referrals, collaboration, and intentional connections.
- We believe that a little friendly competition keeps everyone motivated. That’s why we track key metrics like attendance, education, one-to-one meetings, referrals, and closed business. These stats are reviewed weekly, giving members insights into how their efforts drive sales, business development, and personal growth.
- We recognize a "Member of the Month" and a "Member of the Quarter" with notable accolades to celebrate consistent effort and impact. Our online tracking system, VENATOR (Latin for "Hunter" and an acronym for the seven key metrics), allows members to record their achievements and give recognition to others who’ve supported them. This transparent approach keeps everyone accountable and engaged, with data shared weekly and quarterly.
- Beyond business, Commerce Connections is committed to making a difference. We run quarterly community initiatives, partnering with local charities to create positive change. It’s about building better businesses while making a meaningful impact together.
How long are the meetings?
- All meetings are for 90 minutes.
What is the meeting attire, and what should I bring?
- Commerce Connections members typically wear business attire appropriate to their industry. Some will be in office attire, some in business casual clothing, and some will wear a company polo. Guests are welcome to bring business cards and other handout items to share. You may also want to have your calendar to schedule one-to-one meetings.
How much does it cost to join?
- Guests are welcome to attend their first two meetings free of charge. After these two visits, you can apply for membership and become an active part of our community. There’s no application fee, and membership dues are $99 monthly, conveniently processed via automatic draft.
- At Commerce Connections, we believe in the value of meaningful relationships, not contracts. That’s why there are no long-term commitments—you stay because you see the benefits. Should you decide to step away, you can cancel your membership anytime with a 30-day notice.
What if I can't make it to every weekly meeting?
- At Commerce Connections, consistency is key to building strong connections and fostering business growth. That’s why we encourage our members to attend every meeting—it’s how they stay engaged, build relationships, and maximize opportunities.
- We also understand the realities of running a small business. Life happens—whether it’s a work commitment, a family responsibility, or simply needing a day off. While regular attendance is highly encouraged, it’s not mandatory.
- We have safeguards in place to maintain an active and committed community. Your membership will be reconsidered if you miss more than three consecutive meetings without a valid reason. We’re here to support your journey, and your consistent presence helps everyone thrive.
