WHERE BIG DOGS DO BIG BUSINESS
#1 Networking Group in San Diego
At Big Dogs, we’re more than just a business referral networking group. We’re a pack of professionals who show up, support each other, and win together.
Big Dogs is proud to be part of BNI San Diego, the world’s largest and most successful business networking organization. With more than 325,000 members in 79+ countries, BNI has helped entrepreneurs generate billions in business through the power of referrals.
Here in San Diego, our Big Dogs chapter brings that global system to life in a way that’s high-energy, supportive, and results-driven. We believe networking should feel like a community, where professionals have each other’s backs and wins are celebrated together.

- [WHY US]
Why Referral Networking Beats Traditional Networking
Let’s be real, most San Diego networking events look the same: you walk into a crowded room, hand out business cards, and hope someone remembers you later. At BNI Big Dogs, we flip that script.
Our business referral networking group runs on systems that seek results in every meeting:
Structured Format
No wasted time. Every member gets the spotlight each week.
Stronger Relationships
We meet consistently, so trust builds faster than at one-off mixers.
Referrals That Convert
Instead of cold leads, you get warm introductions from people who know and trust you.
Global Reach, Local Impact
As part of BNI San Diego, we’re connected to chapters worldwide, but focused on growing businesses right here in San Diego.
That’s why our members stick around, and why businesses across industries call us the #1 referral group in San Diego.

Business Networking With Bite

- We bring energy, loyalty, and results to the table.
- We’re serious about referrals, but never take ourselves too seriously.
