What PNG is

Who it's for

Business owners and professionals from the Passaic-Clifton and area Jewish communities, mostly from service industries.

The goal

Get more referrals that lead to more business, while helping fellow members grow theirs.

One member per lane

Each member claims one lane: a specific service or focus area. Two lawyers can both belong if their practice areas differ. Your lane is what you talk about at meetings, so everyone knows exactly whom to refer.

A real commitment

Membership is a year-long commitment. Trust takes repetition, and the members who show up every month are the ones who get referred.

What happens at a meeting

One focused hour, the first Wednesday of every month. Here's how it runs.

01

Delicious hot breakfast

A full hot breakfast served at The Lighthouse Cafe. Come hungry.

02

Open schmooze time

Unstructured time to catch up, follow up on referrals and get to know each other.

03

Pass the mic

Every member and guest gives a quick self-intro: who you are, what you do and who you're looking to meet.

04

Presentations

A featured talk from a member or an outside expert, with practical takeaways you can use that week.

Frequently asked questions

How much does membership cost?

$360 per year, billed $90 quarterly. Breakfast is included at every meeting.

What does "one member per lane" mean?

A lane is your specific focus, not your whole industry. Several lawyers can be members if their practice areas differ, and the same goes for photographers (event vs. marketing, for example). If you offer more than one service, you choose one lane for PNG and speak only to that service at meetings. That keeps referrals clear and keeps members from competing for the same work.

Why a year-long commitment?

Referrals come from trust, and trust comes from showing up month after month. A full year gives every member time to get to know you, and you them.

What if my lane is already taken?

Apply anyway. You may be able to join in a different lane that fits your business. If not, we'll let you know and keep your application on file in case the lane opens up or a new group is formed.

Can I visit a meeting before I join?

Yes. Your first meeting is free. Come as our guest, enjoy breakfast, meet the members and then decide whether to join. Just let us know on the application below or call or text to reserve your spot.

What kinds of businesses are in the group?

A wide range of professionals, mostly from service industries: HR, accounting, law, IT, marketing, real estate, mortgages, telecom and more. See our members below.

What happens after I apply?

Naphtali will reach out to talk about your business and whether PNG is a good fit.
