Edmond Business Developers
Thursdays · 7:00 – 8:00 AM
The Edmond Networking Group that builds your business.
Edmond Business Developers is a referral group of local business owners who meet every Thursday morning, hand each other real work, and keep Edmond's money in Edmond.
Cold outreach is expensive. A recommendation is free.
Most small businesses in Edmond grow the same way: someone people trust says your name at the right moment. Of all the Edmond networking groups, Edmond Business Developers builds that on purpose. One hour a week, a room of owners who understand your business, and a structure that turns goodwill into booked work — often tens of thousands of dollars a year for a member.
What you get for showing up
Referrals from people who know your work
Members see how you operate week after week, so the leads they hand you are warm, qualified, and already half-sold on you.
One business per category
Your seat is exclusive. You are never in the room competing with three others who do exactly what you do.
Weekly visibility
Every meeting you get the floor to say who you are, what you do, and the exact lead you are looking for this week.
Sharpen how you sell
Short trainings and practice on describing your business, asking for referrals, and following up well.
Accountability that sticks
Referrals given and closed are reported out loud. That rhythm keeps everyone doing the work.
Friendships that outlast deals
These are the Edmond business owners you will call for advice years from now, not just for a lead.
Simple, repeatable, and it actually pays
- 01
Show up Thursday
Doors open early, coffee is on. The meeting starts at 7:00 and ends at 8:00 so you are at your desk on time.
- 02
Tell us your perfect lead
Not just your industry — the specific customer, project, or situation where you do your best work.
- 03
Members pass names
You get a name, a phone number, and a warm introduction from someone the prospect already trusts.
- 04
Follow up and report back
You close it, then tell the group what it was worth. That is how referral habits compound.

More than the bottom line

In their words
“I've been a member of Edmond Business Developers since it started 5 years ago, and it's one of the best business decisions I've made. The realtors, insurance agents and financial folks in this room know me and trust me, so when their clients need a loan, they send them my way. Those warm referrals close at a much higher rate than anything I get from advertising. A good share of my business today traces back to Thursday mornings.”
“Over the last 2 years, EBD has sent us steady referrals, but the bigger win has been the relationships. Through the group I've connected with builders, roofers, plumbers and realtors who now call us first when their clients need heat and air work. We've grown as a company, and we've become part of the Edmond business community in a way that wouldn't have happened on our own.”
