Structured local referral relationships.
BNI & referral groups
Genuinely good at
- Strong personal trust over time
- Regular routine and accountability

Less suited to partnerships because

- Bound to a chapter, a seat and a weekly commitment
- Partner range limited to who is in the room

- Ten partnership models, not one
- Business context and declared partnership intent
- Explains why two businesses might fit
- Structured Partnership Requests instead of cold outreach
