For commissioned sales & marketing professionals
Stop Collecting
Business Cards.
Start Building Allies.
Hive of 10 is an exclusive online referral network where 10 professionals — carefully chosen, non-competing — meet once a month as a home group, then spend every other week expanding their network, helping each other, and exchanging referrals.
Not a room full of strangers. A circle of people who actually send you clients.
Networking Is Broken.
Here's Why.
You've been to the events. You've collected the cards. You've done the coffees.
And six months later — you're still waiting for a referral from that mortgage broker you met at the chamber mixer.
Here's the truth most networking groups won't say out loud:
Most networking is performative.
Infrequent, low-accountability meetings that never build real trust
"Referrals" that are barely warm leads
Members cycling in and out — no continuity, no commitment
You pay hundreds of dollars a year to feel busy, not to grow
The problem isn't you. The problem is the model.
When a group is too big, you become invisible. When there's no weekly rhythm, momentum dies between meetings. When there's no real screening, you end up surrounded by people who are there to take, not give.
You don't need a bigger network. You need a better one.
The Solution
Introducing Hive of 10
A smarter, more intentional way to build the referral relationships that actually change your business.
Hive of 10 is built on a simple idea borrowed from nature:
In a beehive, every bee has a role. The scout finds opportunity. The builder creates structure. The pollinator spreads value. No bee hoards. No bee hides. Every bee gives — so the whole hive thrives.
The Hive = Strength in Structure
Every group is carefully composed — non-competing professions, complementary skills, shared ambition.
The 10 = Small Enough to Matter
In a group of 10, you can't disappear. Every member contributes. Every referral is remembered.
The Pollination = Spread Value
When you leave a meeting, you carry knowledge, connections, and referrals into every conversation.
The Honey = Shared Rewards
The more everyone contributes, the more everyone benefits. One referral from a trusted peer can change your quarter.
“Traditional networking gives you a room full of strangers and a stack of business cards. Hive of 10 gives you a circle of allies — people who know your business, champion your strengths, and send clients your way because they genuinely want to see you succeed.”
The 4-Week Rhythm
One Meeting. Three Weeks of Action.
A Network That Compounds.
The Hive of 10 rhythm is built around one structured monthly meeting and three weeks of real relationship-building in between. The work happens between meetings, not just in them.
Home Group Meeting
Once per month — your foundation
The same 10 people, every month, for a full year. These are the people who know your goals, remember your challenges, and celebrate your wins. After 12 months together, they don't just know what you do — they know who you are.
Open floor — share wins, challenges, and ask for help
Learning block — AI tools, sales tactics, marketing strategies
Referral roundtable — who do you need? Who can you introduce?
Accountability — your goals from last month. Where are you now?
Support circle — share struggles, get real advice, celebrate wins
Group problem-solving — real answers, not canned advice
Strictly Confidential
What's shared in the room stays in the room. Period. Members openly discuss challenges, problems, wins, and vulnerabilities — because they know nothing leaves the group. This is a safe space to be honest about your business without fear of judgment or gossip.
Format: 2-3 hours online via Zoom · Breakout rooms available
Expand Your Network
Mid-month — new people across the hive
Members from different home groups connect online. New faces, new industries, new cities — all inside the same culture of giving. This is where your network explodes beyond your core 10.
Mix & match with members from other home groups
Quick intros focused on how others can help you
Cross-referral discovery — unexpected opportunities emerge here
Breakout rooms for deeper 1-on-1 conversations
New allies who become future referral partners
The math: 12 expansion weeks x new people each time = 100+ meaningful connections in a single year.
Help Each Other
Peer support, advice, and problem-solving
This week is about showing up for your group between formal meetings. The “give-first” week. No agenda. Just allies supporting allies.
Help a member solve a challenge they raised at the home meeting
Share a resource, tool, or contact that could change someone's week
Peer coaching: hop on a quick call with someone who needs your expertise
Celebrate wins — publicly recognize someone who delivered
Referrals & Follow-Through
Close the loop — deliver what you promised
Every month ends the same way: following through. This is where the money gets made. The hive doesn't just talk about referrals — it delivers them.
Make the introductions you said you'd make
Send the referrals you identified during the month
Follow up on connections from Week 2
One-on-one coffee chats, virtual or in-person
Warm up relationships that are about to become business

Selective by Design
This Is For You If...
You earn through referrals, relationships, and trust
You're ready to give before you get
You want a network that grows over 12 months, not 12 minutes
You're tired of transactional networking that doesn't produce results
You believe that helping others is the fastest path to growing yourself
This is NOT for you if:
You want referrals without giving any
You can't commit to showing up consistently each week
You treat networking as a numbers game
You're looking for quick wins instead of lasting relationships

The Rule That Makes It Work
Every member of Hive of 10 makes one commitment when they join:
“I will look for ways to help others in my group before I ask for help myself.”
This isn't a rule we enforce with a policy. It's a culture we protect with how we screen members.
When everyone gives, everyone grows. When everyone shares, the hive becomes unstoppable.
That's not idealism. That's just how trust works.
