About BR21 Toronto

BR21 Stands for Business Referral Group #21. The breakfast meeting idea originates from a group of businessperson in Vancouver, BC.

 

The Vancouver Group has expanded rapidly into many local sub-groups. BR21 is the first sub-group of Toronto setup in June 2002. Currently we have more than 10 active members attending the monthly breakfast meetings.

Purpose

Our primary objective is business referral and exchange of knowledge.

At each monthly breakfast gathering, each member has one minute to introduce and promote his/her business.  The members are rotated to provide the monthly presentation in a causal manner and we also invite guest speakers.

Through our monthly breakfast gatherings, we have cultivated better business relationships, broaden our network and increase our business knowledge.

Uniqueness

We have introduced a special ruling that each member of the BR group can only represent one unique business sector. 

This unique representation prevents duplication and conflict, creates an in-depth understanding of each member’s business and enhances business referral.
