The Best of Lake Norman Business Network

“The BEST business networking organization in the Lake Norman region!” That’s a bold claim. If you’re wondering what makes The Best of LKN Business Network the best in the area, this blog article is for you.

Most members (including myself) have past experience with networking organizations, including BNI – the goal here is to provide an elevated and much more valuable experience.

How this group is different:

Programming – Meetings aren’t about pitching. We’re providing expert insights (guests speakers) who bring solutions and advice for overcoming the challenges facing local businesses in 2026. Including marketing, leadership, staffing, sales, lead generation, public speaking, etc.

Membership – We aren’t limiting the number of businesses per category. There’s plenty of opportunity in the marketplace, and there’s a lot we can learn from each other. The goal here is accountability and attracting those with an abundant mindset.

Venue – We meet in private, well-equipped, and comfortable venues designed specifically for events like this.

Marketing – Members can take advantage of The Best of LKN platform to enhance their own digital reach through guest blog posts, podcast features, social media shares, etc. Members are also encouraged to cross-promote each other.

Membership dues – Not the highest, but not free. The fees help cover the cost of meeting spaces, refreshments, guest speakers, and advertising that benefits the entire group. It also provides an additional level of accountability – members have a little skin in the game.

I have a pretty solid track record in the Lake Norman area for delivering value for local businesses. The group currently has 40+ members. These are engaged and successful local professionals who are worth knowing.
