Our Networking Approach
The Rhythm of Business Networking Approach
We define “Rhythm of Business” as the consistent weekly practice of building trust through video-based networking.
For service-based small businesses, this means dedicating 30 minutes per week to:
- Watch peer story videos (10-15 minutes)
- Record your own story video (5-10 minutes)
- React and follow up on warm connections (10-15 minutes)
Why Weekly Rhythm Matters
The Compound Effect
Trust builds incrementally. One networking event per month creates sporadic exposure. Weekly video stories create consistent presence in your peers’ minds.
The Mere Exposure Effect
Psychological research shows that familiarity breeds trust. When people see your face weekly through video stories, they develop a sense of knowing you, even before meeting in person.
The Relationship Advantage
Referrals come from relationships, not transactions. Weekly video sharing creates ongoing relationship development that one-time networking events cannot match.
How It Works
Week 1: Join a Group
You are matched with 10-12 non-competing professionals in your local area who serve similar clients. A mortgage broker might group with a real estate agent, home inspector, and moving company.
Week 2+: Share Stories
Each week, you record a 60-second video story. Not a sales pitch. A story about a client you helped, a challenge you solved, or something you learned.
Every Week: Watch and React
You watch your peers’ stories, react with comments, and identify warm introduction opportunities. Over time, you learn who each person serves and how to refer clients to them.
The 30-Minute Weekly Habit
| Activity | Time |
|---|---|
| Watch 10-12 peer videos | 10-15 minutes |
| Record your story video | 5-10 minutes |
| Comment and follow up | 10-15 minutes |
| Total | 30 minutes per week |
Compare this to traditional networking:
| Approach | Time Investment |
|---|---|
| Traditional networking group | 2+ hours per week + travel |
| Chamber events | 2-3 hours per event |
| Business conferences | Full days + travel |
| Our approach | 30 minutes from anywhere |
Who This Works For
Our approach is designed for service-based businesses where referrals drive growth:
- Consultants (business, marketing, IT, HR)
- Contractors (renovation, electrical, plumbing, landscaping)
- Coaches (executive, life, business, health)
- Professional services (accounting, legal, financial planning)
- Agencies (marketing, design, PR)
- Healthcare providers (therapists, chiropractors, dentists)
- Real estate professionals (agents, mortgage brokers, appraisers)
If your business grows through word-of-mouth referrals, this approach is built for you.
What Makes This Different
Video-Based Trust
Instead of exchanging business cards, you exchange stories. Video creates emotional connection and builds trust faster than text or static profiles.
Non-Competing Groups
Your group includes complementary professionals, not competitors. A financial advisor groups with CPAs and estate attorneys, not other financial advisors.
Local Focus
Your group members serve the same geographic area, making referrals practical and relevant.
Asynchronous Format
No mandatory meeting times. Record and watch videos when it fits your schedule. Night owls and early risers both thrive.
Low Overhead
30 minutes per week from anywhere with a phone. No travel time, no venue fees, no missed client appointments.
The First 12 Weeks
We designed our approach around a 12-week onboarding journey:
Weeks 1-4: Foundation
- Learn the video story format
- Get to know your group members
- Build initial familiarity
Weeks 5-8: Deepening
- Share diverse story types
- Identify referral opportunities
- Start making warm introductions
Weeks 9-12: Momentum
- Consistent weekly rhythm established
- First referrals flowing
- Trust relationships solidifying
By week 12, your networking rhythm is automatic. The 30-minute habit becomes second nature.
