Trade Circle Network: The Trusted Referral Network for Trade Professionals
For Home Service Business Owners
an exclusive circle
Trade Circle Network is an exclusive community of home service business owners from non-competing trades who believe that great businesses are built through relationships, shared knowledge, and accountability.
More Than a Referral Network
Part referral network, part mastermind group, Trade Circle Network brings together ambitious contractors who want to grow smarter—not alone. Members connect through local chapters that host professionally facilitated weekly meetings featuring business discussions, guest experts, networking opportunities, and practical strategies they can immediately put to work.
One Trade, One Seat—Zero Competition
Whether you're an HVAC contractor, plumber, electrician, roofer, landscaper, painter, or another home service professional, every chapter is intentionally structured with one member per trade to encourage collaboration instead of competition.
The Payoff: A Network You Can Trust
The result is a trusted network where members generate quality referrals, learn from experienced business owners, build lasting relationships, and gain access to the ideas, resources, and accountability that help create stronger, more profitable, and more valuable companies.

Annual Review
Learn Together. Improve Together. Grow Together.
Trade Circle Network helps every chapter become more than a referral group. It gives members a shared path for learning, discussion, accountability, and business improvement.
Instead of simply exchanging leads, members are encouraged to become stronger business owners—improving how they price, hire, lead, manage cash flow, build systems, and create long-term value.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often are the meetings?
Meetings are held weekly at a consistent time and location chosen by each local chapter. We believe weekly consistency is key to building deep relationships and maintaining momentum.
What if my trade category is already filled?
Each chapter is strictly limited to one member per trade category. If your category is filled, you can join the waitlist for that chapter or apply to start a new chapter in your area.
Is there a referral requirement?
While we encourage referral exchange, we focus on quality over quantity. Our primary goal is to build a trusted network where referrals happen naturally because members know and trust each other's work.
How much does membership cost?
Trade Circle Network membership dues are $125 per month or $1,125 annually. These dues cover chapter operations, learning resources, and access to the national network. Please note that Trade Circle Network membership is separate from Service CEO Toolbox membership. Toolbox access is not included in Trade Circle membership.
Can I visit a meeting before joining?
Yes! We encourage prospective members to visit a meeting as a guest to see how the chapter operates and meet the other members before officially applying.
