About Speed Business Networking

Speed Business Networking was formed to invest SME's with superior expertise in a way that offered the best value possible.  This is a sector that is notorious for failure, with over 95% of SME's failing in the first 5 years, and the rate continuing thereafter, even 10 or 15 years down the track.

It's About Referrals and Peer Mentoring for Solid Business Development

Our aim was to teach business owners and professionals to network in such a way that they developed true pipelines of warm referrals, as well as strategic alliances and advocates.  In addition, we realised that within any business community there is an almost unimaginable pool of expertise and experience, and we knew that if people networked in the right way, they would naturally form mastermind groups that could share in the skills and knowledge and peer-mentor each member to achieve greater satisfaction and success than they could ever otherwise experience.

So as well as the vast array of on-line tools and other resources that you'll find on this site, including the powerful "My Business Network" we actively support the development of real-life networking hubs that ascribe to the Speed Business Networking philosophy and methodology.

Rewards for Bringing Speed Business Networking to Your Region

We started building hubs in Perth, Western Australia, and over the coming years we hope to expand those around the world.  Hub Founders must be authorised, but there is no charge to become a Founder, and Founders retain 100% of event profits, and 100% of the annual fees of their members.

All we ask is that is that the networking hub (and that may be an "official" Speed Business Networking hub, or a BNI hub, or any other networking organisation's hub) commit in writing to the principles and methodology which we have developed.

In return we provide a high level of support not only to develop the Founder's hub, but to also develop the Founder's business.  Even though Founders benefit from a raised profile in the business community, it is our intention that Founders also gain a high level of financial and personal reward for taking on this important role.

Why do we believe Founders deserve so much reward?  Because we know that if SME's take on the practices that we promote, including strategic networking in the right way, and that if they avail themselves of the support available, we can have an important impact on the survival rate of SME's.  By bringing such powerful resources to their local business community, each Founder plays a part in ensuring success instead of failure, and ensuring solid revenue growth instead of loss.

There is no other business support organisation in the world which offers such a high level of support, and we would be quite justified in charging the highest fees in recognition of that.  Instead, as a genuine commitment to the health of SME's we have provided membership of My Speed Business Network absolutely free of charge, and we allow Founders to set their own fee for membership of live groups, providing this is a minimum of $AU150 per annum.  Quite literally, this sets an unprecedented example of contribution to the business community.
