Connect & Collaborate

Connect & Collaborate is an exclusive weekly business to business seacoast referral group. People do business with those that they ‘know, like and trust.’ Through building relationships with fellow members and understanding referral targets, participants strive to both give and receive referrals from other business professionals in the group. In addition, our members strive to elevate each other through sharing business practices and celebrating success.
