CIBN Connect | Online Business Networking & Mastermind Community
What's special about the Connect Community?
CIBN Members often say that we've created a space that feels like family:
Meet the Team
MEET THE FOUNDER & CEO
Kerry George
With a journey that began as a pastor and single mother of three, Kerry George built CIBN from the ground up, with no funding or credit. For her, networking wasn't just a strategy—it was the key that unlocked doors, connecting her with mentors who helped her turn her vision into a global community. Today, her mission is to pay it forward, empowering entrepreneurs with the tools and collaborative support they need to build their own legacies and change the world.
Meet the co-founder
Zechariah James
At just 17, Zech left school and joined the family business, CIBN, with a passion for entrepreneurship. Instead of a classroom, he found his education within the CIBN community, learning from members who became his mentors. These real-world connections gave him the skills to build a business from the ground up. Today, Zech has taken that knowledge and turned it into a powerful mission: running a successful consulting firm that empowers Indigenous Canadians to start their own businesses. His story is a testament to the power of a supportive network, proving that with the right community, incredible growth is possible.
Meet the General Manager
Joshua George
From balancing full-time sales with late-night studies at the University of Calgary, Joshua has always lived by a simple code: learn constantly, work hard, and put community first. This dedication fuels his work at CIBN, where he helps lead the way with a powerful vision. He believes in "Happy Capitalism"—a model where business success and positive global change go hand-in-hand. For Joshua, it’s not just about a business model; it’s about a personal mission: to use his knowledge and hard work to make his mom a millionaire, proving that with the right drive and community, anything is possible.
So Why does CIBN feel like family?

At Cibn connect we're all about...
Happy Capitalism!
The essence of Happy Capitalism is using your business to create the change that you'd like to see in the world. Do you like to add value and create win/win situations? Happy Capitalists usually have these three qualities:
Innovative
Hard working
Community Builders
Could you be a Happy Capitalist?
Tired of Time-Wasting?
Remember that feeling? The endless small talk, the lukewarm leads, the people who treat their business like a hobby. You showed up, you put in the work, but it felt like you were the only one. At CIBN, we built a community that understands that. We're not interested in half-measures. We're a group of people who are committed, who hit the phones, send the emails, and consistently feed their businesses. You can feel the energy in our rooms—it's a current of hard work and accountability that keeps everyone moving forward. When you network with us, you're not just getting leads; you're joining a team of dedicated pros who expect to win.
If you are always looking for new ways to elevate your business and you understand that steady progress is the key to lasting success, then you could be a Happy Capitalist.
Fed Up with Sales Pitches?
We've all been there. You walk into a room, and you feel like everyone is sizing you up, seeing dollar signs instead of a person. You're just another transaction. That's not the world we want to build. Our community was never built by one person—it was built by a village. We've created a culture where the most important quality is being a community builder. People here are always wondering how they can help each other, they learn the value of others in the community so they can share high-quality referrals, and they earn trust as a habit. This is a place where you can relax, be yourself, and build meaningful relationships with people who genuinely want to see you succeed.
If you're always looking to grow meaningful relationships and have a deep need to be a blessing to your community, then you could be a Happy Capitalist.
Sick of the Same Old Routines?
Ever feel like you're stuck in a business model that's as old as a rotary phone? We were too. We believe innovation is essential to successful networking, which is why we've divorced ourselves from the standard meeting model. We're not afraid to try new things. Instead of thinking about problems, we ask ourselves how we can do things better. We leverage cutting-edge networking software, we're on a quest to master video, and we're always pushing the boundaries of what's possible. When you join CIBN, you're not just getting a membership—you're getting a seat at the table with innovators, with people who want to shake up the status quo and are happy to try new things.
If you're always wondering how you can enhance your business and you're happy to try new things, then you could be a Happy Capitalist.
Meet some of the Happy Capitalists who make our business family great!

How Many Times Can I Attend Without Joining?
We believe the best way to see the value of our community is to experience it for yourself, so you're welcome to join us as often as you need. We've built our network on the simple principle that everyone contributes. From sharing high-quality referrals to offering advice and being a source of encouragement, every member plays a vital role in our collective success. We’re here to build a network based on mutual support, and we look forward to showing you the difference that makes.

Pay to attend
Growth through abundance. Our open model ensures continuous growth by welcoming a constant flow of new guests, creating more opportunities for you to expand your network than traditional, closed groups.
Trust over tactics. We lead by example. Our focus is on building relationships, not selling memberships, so we never resort to hard-selling our community.
Transparency from day one. We believe in building trust through transparency. We give you a full view of our community's value upfront, so you can make a clear and confident decision to join.
A conflicted approach. Many organizations earn more by creating a paywall, but this directly hurts their members' ability to grow their networks by limiting new connections.
Hypocrisy. Groups often tell their members to avoid hard-selling, yet they use a hard sell themselves to push memberships.
"Smoke and mirrors." A lack of transparency means guests can't truly understand what they're buying into, which leads to feelings of being misled and ultimately, being burned.
A bad reputation. This cycle of being "sold at" and the lack of authentic connection is why networking has earned a bad reputation for so many people.
The meetings are free to explore, because that's what is best for our members.
Why is the membership only $27/month?
Many people say our membership should cost more, but we’re not here to strain your budget—we’re here to help you grow. For about the cost of your Netflix subscription, you could just be sitting on the couch... or you could be building a business that actually pays you back. For just $27 a month, you get a complete suite of professional tools and an entire community dedicated to your success.
Put the remote away, it's time to binge watch your business growth.
Does low cost attract low quality?
We believe low quality attracts low quality, regardless of the price tag. While other groups use a high cost as a barrier, our low price is a deliberate choice to support entrepreneurs. We don't just provide a space to network; we give you the books, videos, and hands-on guidance to master networking. Our quality is not measured by our fee, but by the success of our members.
If the meetings are free, why should I pay for membership?
While you're welcome to experience our community as a guest, membership is how you unlock the full power of CIBN. We've built this network on the belief that hard work, innovation, and community can build a better world, and our exclusive tools are designed to amplify the efforts of those who are ready to be a part of that mission.
You Gain a Strategic Advantage:
Our AI-enhanced LinkedIn software and the complete SMART Networking Method aren't just tools—they're the shared playbook for our community. You'll gain access to our full library of on-demand courses, from The 10-Referral Tsunami to The 90-Day Revenue Surge, all designed to help you drive your business forward with the support of your tribe.
This is more than just a business community; it's a tribe of givers and action-takers. Led by our founders who built this community from nothing, we are a team of people who believe in the power of Happy Capitalism—using business to make a positive impact in the world. When you join, you're not just networking; you're a part of a sphere of excellence.
The Next Step in Your Professional Growth:
Membership is for the entrepreneur who has seen the value of CIBN and is ready to take the next step. If you are ready to stop just attending and start contributing to a community that will lift you up, this is the way forward.
Successful Networking
We understand that there are an abundance of opportunities for business owners to waste time, money, and effort; we are dedicated to not being one.
One of the best ways to help business owners be successful in networking is to help them understand where they are on the path. We utilize the Networking Success Path as a framework to offer tangible next steps. Much like you need a business plan, you need a networking plan!
Build
Building a business can be tough when you are on your own. Entrepreneurs often struggle to find community, mentorship and answers to everyday problems in business. Everyone is trying to sell us marketing. What works? What doesn't? How do I represent myself to the world? Who is my target market? What does my avatar look like?
We are good at what we do, and we just wanted to get started doing it. Now we find out that we need to also be good at doing our bookkeeping, marketing our products and services, and selling as well. We are wearing so many hats, where do we start?
Our Building A Network solution takes 30 to 60 days on average:
Begin building relationships with other entrepreneurs who will support you
Build real friendships that go beyond "liking" into "knowing" and "trusting"
Identify those who could become collaborators who have the same target market. These people have clients who buy, and those clients can be shared
Create 25 new strategic connections

Networking Success Path
Add Social
Many business owners still struggle with social media—unsure which channels to use, how to convert, or how to avoid wasting time on endless distractions.
CIBN Connect helps cut through the chaos. Our Founder, Kerry George, has been teaching social media strategy since 2010, showing entrepreneurs how to treat online networking as real networking.
With proven tools and processes, we help Members turn social media into a results-driven growth strategy. At the Speaker Level, Members build these skills step by step—laying the foundation for long-term success.
Our Social solution:
Record your social media numbers so future growth can be tracked
Pick one channel to grow
Complete Social Media Boot Camp
Complete the 7 Day Challenge To Create 700 Pieces Of Reusable Content
Build your own simple 3 step strategy and implement it
Understand the 4 C's of online marketing
Learn how to fill a room for your own event
Present
We all want to get in front of the right audience—whether that’s a room full of ideal buyers or a board of directors. But without polished presentation skills, nothing happens. The sale is lost.
Practice is essential, yet getting stage time can be tough—summits often require large followings, and many speakers are vetted by their numbers.
That’s why CIBN Connect offers our stage to Speaker Level Members, giving them space to refine their talks and practice their offers. For those who need help closing sales, our Sales Pro membership adds specialized training.
Whether you start with courses, practice sessions, or live presentations, the key is to start. Business gets better when you do.
Presenting Our Solution:
Gain the confidence that you need to move your business forward
Eliminate the fear of public speaking and the emotions that sabotage
Master presentation skills in front of small groups first
Get valuable feedback from other members who have been where you are
Learn to do 15 minute and 25 minute presentations in small groups
Speak at a CIBN Connect online summit
Learn to do 90 minute webinars (If you want to)
Do Facebook Lives in the CIBN FB groups (If you want to)
Produce
In the Producing Stage, we build systems to track and improve results. Speaker Level Members often need a few Quarters of Launch sessions before gaining traction, since most small business owners aren’t used to setting long-term, quarterly goals.
Here, we refine strategies, measure sales, and optimize processes. If sales skills need work, this is the time for Sales Pro training—stronger closing ratios directly impact growth.
For deeper strategy, Members may also step into the Excalibur MasterMind Program.
Presenting our Production Solution:
Attend Quarter Launch for the third time and complete goal setting process
Add automations to your social media and customer communications
Record increase on social media channels
Make a plan for social media growth working towards the 10,000 goal
Make sure that the 4 C's of online marketing are being implemented
Measure sales results and tweak for improvement

Influence
It takes 10,000 online connections to move into the position of being an influencer. We cannot truly lead until we truly have followers. These do not happen by accident. There are simple and repeatable steps that need to be followed to create a situation where we are no longer screaming our message into an empty room. This is the stage where we could write a book and people will buy our book. This is where we can announce our event or our weekly meeting and people will line up to attend it without buying ads.
In this stage you are putting your finishing touches on your personal network and you are reaping the rewards of having followers. Your message is being proclaimed by your raving fans.
This is an appropriate time to add the multiplication strategies found in the Excalibur MasterMind Program.
These are the tasks for the Influencer:
Track the connections and followers on every social channel and continue in the strategies to increase those numbers
Add three new methods of increasing our online followers
Create and automate at least 1 communication strategy such as a blog, a magazine, a YouTube channel or a podcast.
Create at least two evergreen methods of making sales where advertising runs on it's own and makes more than what is being spent.
Set up at least two sources of ongoing repeatable income that supplement your business or your lifestyle
Multiply the strategies that work
Move into scaling your business

"CIBN helped me to figure out my business journey. I had to restart and build something people wanted to by. I learned the tools to market myself and I learned how to be appealing to my customer base. This has completely revolutionized my retirement!"
Keith Uthe
