Business Referral Network (BRN)
Build Your Business Through Trusted Referrals
Weekly networking for local professionals in the San Mateo area
The Business Referral Network (BRN) helps local business owners grow through consistent relationship-building and high-quality referrals—powered by trust, accountability, and community.
Trusted & Chamber-Sponsored
What We Do
BRN is proudly sponsored by the San Mateo Area Chamber of Commerce, aligning our member-driven referral groups with the Chamber’s broader mission of strengthening local business.
What Is BRN?
BRN is a weekly business referral networking group for professionals who believe the best business comes from strong relationships.
Members meet regularly to:
- Build long-term professional relationships
- Share trusted referrals and introductions
- Learn each other’s services to refer with confidence
Each group includes members from a variety of industries, creating opportunities for meaningful, non-competitive referrals.
How It Works
Consistent meetings. Real relationships. Better referrals.
- Meet Weekly
Members gather weekly to share updates, needs, and referral opportunities. - Build Trust Over Time
Regular interaction allows members to truly understand each other’s businesses. - Exchange Quality Referrals
Referrals are timely, relevant, and based on genuine confidence—not cold leads.
This structure helps turn casual connections into reliable business growth.
Why Business Referral Networking Works
✔ Referrals come with built-in trust
✔ Higher close rates than cold outreach
✔ Less time selling, more time serving
✔ Long-term relationships that compound in value
BRN complements the Chamber’s networking events by offering a focused, relationship-driven forum dedicated specifically to referral-based growth.
