WHO WE ARE
BUILT ON TRUST
DRIVEN BY REFERRALS
The Business Referral Network of Shawnee is a nonprofit organization made up of local professionals who genuinely want to see each other succeed. We are not a leads group. We are a community built on relationships, accountability, and a shared commitment to doing business the right way.
Every seat at our table is exclusive. One member per industry means the referrals you give and receive come from people who trust you, not people competing with you. Your industry. Your referrals. When BRN members refer your business, they are putting their own reputation behind you. That matters.
That commitment goes further than referrals. When BRN needs goods or services, we look to our own members first. We show up for each other, literally and figuratively. When local businesses thrive, the entire Shawnee community is lifted up. That is not just something we say. It is something we practice every day.
Our members come from Shawnee, Tecumseh, and surrounding communities all across Pottawatomie County. If you want to do good business in this area, you belong at this table.
OUR STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
The Business Referral Network is a not-for-profit organization formed to practice the highest ethical standards and professionalism throughout the organization, to expand the client base of each participating member through an established referral network, to enhance the prospecting skills of each member, and to establish friendship, unity and trust among its members.
HOW WE MEET
