About SCN

What is Success Champion Networking?

Success Champion Networking (SCN) is a virtual B2B networking organization founded by Donnie Boivin. It has 27 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.

Visiting a chapter

How do I visit a chapter?

Pick any of the 27 chapters from the directory and book a visit on that chapter's page. You will get a confirmation with the Zoom link and the meeting details.

Does the first visit really cost nothing?

Yes, and we require it. You cannot apply for membership without visiting a chapter first. It is one hour on Zoom, and nobody pitches you.

What actually happens in a meeting?

A weekly chapter meeting runs about an hour on Zoom. Members share what they do and the kind of introduction they are looking for, pass referrals, and make introductions. As a visitor you mostly watch how the room works.

Can I visit more than one chapter before deciding?

Yes. Visit as many as you like before applying, and once you are a member you can visit any chapter in the network any week.

Membership and seats

How much does membership cost?

Membership is $970 per year or $97 per month on a 12-month commitment, plus a one-time, non-refundable $50 application fee. Full detail is on the pricing page.

What does "one seat per category" mean?

Each chapter holds a single seat per professional category. When your seat is filled it closes to competitors, so nobody in your lane gets in behind you, and the room has a clear reason to send that work to you.

What if my category is already taken in the chapter I want?

Categories vary chapter to chapter, so one taken in a single room is often open in another. Use the chapter finder to see which rooms are actively recruiting your category, and remember you can visit any chapter free before deciding.

Are MLMs allowed?

No. MLMs are not accepted under any circumstances.

Is there an application process?

Yes, and it is a real review rather than a formality. You visit a chapter first, then apply. Your application goes to the entire chapter leadership team, not one person. A decision comes back inside 30 days and you hear before that window is up. You evaluate us as much as we evaluate you.

What happens during the 30-day review?

You have virtual coffees, one-to-one video calls, with members of the chapter and with the leadership team. That is how both sides judge whether it is a fit. The leadership team then reviews the application together and you are notified before the 30 days are up.

Can an application be declined?

Yes. Culture fit is a genuine reason for a no, either for that chapter or for SCN as a whole, and so is a category that is already taken in the room you applied to. MLMs are declined under any circumstances. If a chapter is not the right room, that does not always mean the network is wrong for you, there may be another chapter that fits.

Still deciding? Go look.
