What This Is
A Business Networking Group Built on Referrals, Not Business Cards
Prime Time Business Network is a category-exclusive business networking group in South Florida. More than 400 members meet in small chapters every two weeks to pass each other real work. Only one person per business category holds a seat in a chapter, so the accountant, the roofer and the family lawyer in the room are the accountant, the roofer and the family lawyer for everyone in it.
That is the difference between a referral networking group and an open mixer. At a mixer you meet five other people who do what you do. Here, every job in your category that comes up at the table is yours to quote.
Find a chapter near you →- Where we meet
- Chapters in Aventura, Delray Beach, Ft Lauderdale, Hollywood, Miami, Miami Shores, Parkland and Plantation, plus online meetings on Zoom for members who work across the region. See upcoming networking events.
- How often
- Every chapter meets biweekly, at the same time and place, so a business networking event near you runs most weeks of the month.
- Who it is for
- Owners and professionals who get most of their work by word of mouth: attorneys, CPAs, insurance agents, contractors, realtors, financial advisors, marketers, health and wellness practitioners. Browse the member directory.
- What it costs to visit
- Nothing. Guests sit in on a full meeting before applying, and we will tell you if your category is already taken in that chapter. Ask for a guest seat.
Common Questions About Business Networking Groups
What is a business networking group?
A group of business owners and professionals who meet on a set schedule to send each other work. Members learn what the others do well enough to spot a customer for them, then hand that customer over by name. The good ones are structured: same room, same faces, a format for introductions, and a record of who passed what.
Are business networking groups worth it?
They pay off when two things are true: you show up for every meeting, and nobody else in the room sells what you sell. A referral from a member who has watched you work for a year closes faster than a cold lead, because the trust was borrowed before the call started. Groups that let three realtors join the same chapter split that trust three ways, which is why Prime Time seats one per category.
How do I join a business networking group in South Florida?
Visit a meeting first. Pick the chapter closest to where you work, tell us you want to come as a guest, and sit through a full meeting. If your category is open and the chapter is a fit both ways, you apply and the members vote.
How much does it cost to visit a networking meeting?
Nothing. Guests sit in on a full meeting before applying, at no charge. Membership dues apply only once you are voted in, and they vary by chapter.
How is this different from a chamber of commerce?
A chamber is open to everyone in town, which makes it good for visibility and weak for referrals: your competitors are members too. A category-exclusive chapter is small and closed by design. Fewer people, but every one of them can send you work without a conflict.

What Our Members Say
Hear from the professionals who have grown their businesses through Prime Time.
I have been a member of PrimeTime since day one about 7 years ago. Over these years this amazing group has helped me grow my business and build lifelong friendships. The referrals I've received have been invaluable.
Mark Hirsch, Mike Wendrow, Mike Stern, and the rest of the Prime Time Business Network organization are incredible for the business community. The dedication they bring to helping members succeed is unmatched.
When I decided to be a guest to the Weston group my expectations were very high. In the middle of the meeting I realized this was different, the energy, the professionalism, and the genuine desire to help each other was remarkable.
