What is Spark Referral Partners?
Spark is a regional business networking community focused on building quality referral partnerships across your local metro area. We connect professionals through monthly speed networking events, a secure member directory, weekly member growth activities, and curated regional event calendars.
How is Spark different from other networking groups?
Spark complements your existing networking efforts rather than replacing them. We focus on regional connections, rotating event locations for fairness, and maintaining a spam-free environment. Plus, there are no category lockouts or pressure tactics.
What’s the difference between Free and Premium memberships?
Free members are listed in the directory, receive the weekly newsletter with regional networking events, and can attend unlimited online and in-person speed networking events.
Premium members, for just $20/month or $150/year, get everything included in the Free membership plus full directory access, the ability to request connections, monthly video interviews, and featured member spotlights in the newsletter and online.
How does the monthly interview work?
Each month you'll be given the opportunity to jump online and do a quick 3 minute interview with Spark Referral Partners where we can ask questions about your service, upcoming promotions, client testimonials, or anything else you'd like highlighted in your business.
How does the directory work?
The directory allows Premium members to browse profiles featuring one-minute video introductions. Contact information is hidden, but you can send a connection request. Free members are listed but cannot browse the directory.
Are there category restrictions?
No. Spark believes in collaboration over competition, so there are no category lockouts or industry limitations. Multiple professionals in the same field are not only welcome but encouraged.
How often are events held?
We host monthly online speed networking events and rotating in-person speed mixers, both open to everyone. Premium members also get access to additional weekly meetings and quarterly mixers.
