FAQ's
How is Benchmark different from other networking groups or chambers?
Traditional networking often mixes every industry, every stage, and every motivation level in one room. BBB is intentionally small, curated, and focused on owners who value connections and are ready to both give and receive introductions. We combine that with structure, an a agenda, light metrics, and ongoing education, so it runs more like a peer advisory board than a drop-in meetup.
What kind of time commitment should I expect?
Plan on one 60 minute meetings per week, plus occasional 1:1 coffees or Zooms with members you want to deepen relationships with. Many owners simply replace other large networking events with BBB and end up saving time and money while increasing results.
Do you limit competition within each chapter?
Yes. We’re careful about category overlap so that members can confidently share opportunities. In some cases we allow complementary providers in similar spaces if the target clients are meaningfully different. We’ll review this with you during the application process.
Is there a long-term contract or setup fee?
No long-term contract. Membership is billed yearly and you can cancel anytime with 30 days’ notice. There’s no large initiation fee; if you decide to leave the yearly membership balance is not refundable.
Can my business partner or team members attend?
Each membership reserves one primary seat per company. Partners or key team members can attend periodically as guests, and you can send a sub to represent you if you are unable to attend.
Ready to build a referral engine around your business?
Apply in a few minutes. If accepted, you’ll be invited to attend your first Benchmark Business Builders meeting as a guest before your membership is finalised. Toowoomba Networking at its best!
We’ll never share your information. You’ll hear from us within 2 business days with next steps.
