The problem was never youIt was the room.
Most networking fails because you are in the wrong room. Get in the right room — where one seat per industry is protected, everyone is vetted, and referrals happen on purpose.
You keep showing up.
The business doesn't.
- Wrong rooms
- You network where the other people are also looking for clients, not where the buyers and the connectors are.
- No system
- You collect cards and connections, then nothing happens because there is no process behind the handshake.
- Chasing leads
- You spend your week chasing cold prospects instead of being handed warm ones by people who trust you.
Build a network that brings business to you
Dragons Rising — a real SCN chapter meeting. Tuesdays, 11:30 AM EST.
And these are four more, this week.
Built so referrals happen on purpose
Not a card swap. A structure that makes introductions the default behaviour of the room.
- Weekly virtual meetings
- Every chapter meets weekly over Zoom. No commute, no breakfast buffet, no wasted morning.
- One seat per category
- One business per professional category, per chapter. Your seat is protected from competitors.
- All chapters, one membership
- Members can visit any chapter in the network, any week. One membership, 29 rooms.
- Training, no upsells
- Member training is included. We are not going to sell you a mastermind at the back of the room.
- A private community
- The conversation continues between meetings, not just for an hour on a Tuesday.
- Everyone is vetted
- Applicants are screened for fit and values. No MLMs, under any circumstances.
We run the playbook ourselves
In May, Donnie drove to Houston with zero contacts and five days on the clock — to prove the system works cold, in a city where nobody owes you a favour.
The Champions Code
- 01Show Up As Yourself
Be one person, not two. Geek out on what you geek out on.
- 02Be Your Own Champion
Know your value. You have the power to create change in your life and others.
- 03Share Knowledge
We aren't hoarders of information. We share freely and mentor others to go bigger.
- 04Family First
Get the work done. But family is the priority. Make the game, take the trip.
- 05Go Break Shit
If we aren't building or creating, we aren't growing. Don't get stuck in good enough.
- 06Don't Be A Dick
We take ownership of everything. We treat people with respect and don’t pass blame.
Your buyer isn't at the networking event. Mine wasn't either.
Early in my career: I was struggling.
I sold commercial printing into multi-million-dollar companies, and I hated hunting for the next deal. Cold calling worked. I just didn't want to build a life on it. Networking was supposed to be my way out.
So I did it the way everybody teaches. Show up. Shake hands. Tell people what you do.
And I'd stand in those rooms and slowly realize the people I sold to were never going to walk in. Buyers inside multi-million-dollar companies don't go to mixers. I'd tell somebody what I did and they'd ask if I could print their business cards. A $50 order, in a room where I needed contracts.
Those rooms weren't broken because the people were bad. They were broken because my buyer was never coming.
So I had to build a whole different way to network. Stop hunting buyers in the room. Build champions instead — people who know you, trust you, and walk you into the rooms you could never cold call your way into.
That way of networking became the frameworks we teach inside SCN. The chapters are the rooms built to run them: vetted members, one seat per category, meeting every week, on purpose.
The problem was never you. It was the room, and the way you were taught to network.
We fixed both.

Before you visit a chapter
What is Success Champion Networking?
Success Champion Networking (SCN) is a virtual B2B networking organization founded by Donnie Boivin. It has 29 chapters and 450+ vetted members in nine countries. Every chapter meets weekly over video, holds one business per professional category, and doesn’t allow MLMs. Membership is $970/year or $97/month after a free chapter visit.
Is this an alternative to BNI?
Yes. We’re a virtual B2B referral network built for founders, fractional executives, and service providers who want real introductions instead of forced referrals. SCN isn’t designed for members to sell to each other. Our members sell B2B, meaning they sell to the company and not the individuals in it. Like a traditional referral group we hold one business per category per chapter. Unlike most, every meeting is virtual, you can visit any chapter, and we don’t allow MLMs.
How much does membership cost?
$970 per year paid annually, or $97 per month on a 12 month commitment, plus a one time $50 application fee. The annual plan includes two free months versus monthly.
Are meetings in person or virtual?
Every chapter meets virtually. Attend from anywhere and connect with members in nine countries without drive time.
Is there a chapter near me?
Maybe. Chapters meet virtually, but we have local chapters, national chapters, and even international chapters — so you can join a room rooted in your area or one organized around your market.
Can I visit before joining?
Yes, and we require it. Visit a chapter free before applying so both sides can confirm a mutual fit.
Get in the right room.
29 chapters. One seat per industry. Your first visit is free.
