Since 1992, Team Network has helped professionals, entrepreneurs and Main Street business owners across Montgomery County, Frederick County, Northern Virginia and Washington DC grow the way business actually grows — through people who know you, trust you, and send you work.
The next two Team Network gatherings open to guests. Both are free to attend when you register ahead, and there is no pitch waiting at the end.
A multi-organization networking happy hour for Main Street business people and entrepreneurs. Bring your introductions, grab a cold one and a munchie, and settle a round of cornhole while you are there. Food and drink are on your own tab.
A multi-organization networking breakfast and workshop with national speaker Steve Black, on using artificial intelligence, social media and personal branding to win more business. Light refreshments served.
Team Network was built on a simple idea: business moves fastest between people who know, like and trust each other. Three decades later, that is still exactly what happens in our rooms — and on our Zooms — every week.
Founded in 1992 and still growing. Members have built entire books of business on introductions made across a breakfast table.
Meet face to face over breakfast or join from your desk. Most teams run both, so a busy week never costs you a connection.
Your category is yours alone on your team. You are never competing for the same referral with three other people in your field.
FREE AND OPEN TO ALL
Every Monday from 4:00 to 5:15 PM, business owners from across the network meet on Zoom to reset the week, hear from a guest speaker and reconnect. Hosted by Curt Kowalski, President and Founder of Team Network.
The Rally Point is free and open to the Main Street business community. No membership is required.
Straight answers about how Team Network referral groups work across Maryland, Washington DC and Northern Virginia.
Team Network is a referral business networking organisation founded in 1992. It runs local teams across Montgomery County, Frederick County, Northern Virginia, Baltimore and the Washington DC metro area, where professionals and business owners meet weekly to pass qualified introductions to one another. Each team holds one seat per business category.
General networking is about meeting as many people as possible. Referral networking is about a small, consistent group learning your business well enough to introduce you by name to people who already trust them. A lead is a name. A referral is a name plus a recommendation, and it closes at a far higher rate.
Teams meet across Montgomery County, Frederick County, Baltimore, Northern Virginia and the DC metro area. The usual pattern is an in-person meeting in the team territory during the first week of each month, with online multi-team meetings for the remaining weeks so members still connect beyond their own group.
Guests attend free of charge, with no obligation and no pitch at the end. If you want to go further, membership starts with a 30-day free trial that includes every meeting, a member directory listing and visits to other teams where your category is open.
No. Exclusive category representation means only one business per category sits on each team, so you are never competing for the same referral with three other people in your field. Checking whether your category is open on the team nearest you is usually the first step in joining.
Referrals follow trust, and trust follows attendance. Members who show up consistently, take one-to-one meetings and learn what a good referral looks like for the others in the room typically start seeing introductions within the first few months. Turning up once a quarter rarely produces anything, in any group.
Both, and the mix is deliberate. Business-to-business members such as commercial bankers, CPAs, IT firms, commercial insurance agents, business attorneys and coaches refer work to each other directly. Consumer-facing members such as trades, realtors, home services and healthcare practices reach the households those professionals already advise. Each side feeds the other.
Plenty of networking groups exist. Finding one that fits your schedule, your industry and the way you actually like to do business is harder. Some of our strongest teams started because one person decided to launch the group they could not find — with our training, technology and marketing support behind them, and no membership dues to pay.
