Network Lead Exchange in an online networking platform that is divided into local chapters. Each chapter is sold as an individual franchise. Franchise owners invite business owners and professionals in their geographic area and beyond to join their chapter, with only one participating business per profession. With the intent of promoting new business referrals within each local chapter, Network Lead Exchange allows members to pass and receive leads virtually. Members earn commissions for the referrals they send and gain access to a new source of leads from businesses they know and trust.
