Networking and Community Done Right
“GBN was my first networking group.
‘Terrified’ would be a good description of how I felt
when I attended my first meeting. Since then, I’ve met so many wonderful people. Everyone has been so gracious and welcoming, and I’ve grown so much through being a member. The leadership sat down with me one on one and asked how they could help – that really impressed me. Even better, they were filled with wonderful suggestions.”
– Andrew Echemann
What is Great Business Networking?
Our mission is simple: to attract like-minded professionals in the community to grow their business and network together.
Founded in 2011 by Alan Thompson, a local business owner in Charleston, South Carolina, GBN has always been a group of professionals who have an interest in growing their business.
Our philosophy is Friends First. Business Second. We believe if we become great friends – get to know, like and trust each other – that our business will grow automatically. Like we say, to grow your business, you must grow your network.
