Every single week
Two hand-picked introductions
Each one is warm and hand-selected. You're told exactly who to meet, why, and how the two of you might do business. No spray-and-pray, no lists. You never source another prospect.
Worldwide business matchmaking

No commitment. Invite-only. About 60 seconds to request, have your LinkedIn handy. Phil and his team review every request.

What it is
A worldwide business-matchmaking membership. Think executive search firm, but for clients and partners instead of hires.
How it works
You tell us the clients and partners you want. Phil and his team work a daily matching desk to find them, then make the introduction, two at a time.
What you get
More than introductions. A twice-monthly mastermind and a proven one-to-one framework turn those conversations into clients and referrals.
A straight word from Phil
Now that you've grown, isn't it kind of backwards?
You've got less time to find the relationships that grow your business, right when you need them most. The bigger you get, the more your next deal is just one connection away, and the less time you have to chase it.
Ten one-to-ones a week, drinking from a fire hose, working every pitch party in town. That's a young man's game.
So here's the straight version. I'm not a networking group, and I think the weekly meeting is dead.
What I built is a team of business matchmakers. All day long, my team and I meet people, scrub the list, and figure out who should know who. Then we hand the right two to you.
So here's the real question. Do you want my team and me out there finding your next partner, while you stay focused on running the thing?

The Referral Revenue Gap
The best business you ever closed didn't come from a cold email.
It came from someone who knew someone. A warm introduction. No convincing, no chasing, no "just circling back for the fifth time."
So why is your week still built on outreach that gets ignored, and rooms full of people who were never going to buy or refer? You end up drowning in delivery, and then the pipeline runs bone dry.
That's the Referral Revenue Gap: the distance between the business you win now and the business sitting one introduction away.
As Phil says: you can't say the right thing to the wrong person. You don't have a pitch problem. You have a right-person problem. We fix that.
What The Connector Community is
Let's be clear about what this is, and what it isn't.
It's not
- A networking group
- A weekly meeting to drag yourself to
- A room where everyone's selling and no one's buying
- All takers, no givers
None of that moves your pipeline.
It is
- A business matchmaking service
- An executive search firm, for partners and clients instead of hires
- Phil and his team meeting people all day, figuring out who should know who
- Matches handed straight to you
This isn't meant to replace your growth plan. It's meant to strengthen it.
Transfer of Trust
When a trusted person introduces you, their trust transfers to you. You skip the line. That's why a single warm introduction beats a hundred cold emails, and it's the whole foundation of everything we do.
Keep running your business. We'll keep finding the right people and putting them in front of you. One reliable channel, working for you on autopilot.

What you get as a member
The right people, not a ton of people.
Twice-monthly Connector Mastermind
This is where members turn fresh introductions into real relationships, and real relationships into referrals that compound. The fortune's in the follow-up. You never let a good introduction die.
The One-to-One Framework
The exact conversation structure Phil refined over 40 years and 5,000+ one-to-ones. You never wing a first conversation again. Done right, every one-to-one ends one of two ways:
- with a raving fan who wants to introduce you to the right people, or
- with someone who gives you permission to pitch on the next call.
There is no bad outcome.
Everything teed up for you, in Nolodex
You never dig through a directory hunting for people. That's what Phil's team of connectors is for. Your matches, your introductions, and the members in your corner all live in one place, organized and ready.
One good introduction is worth a client. Membership is built to produce more than one.
The outcome
What changes when the right people start coming to you.
Before
Your week starts with cold outreach that gets ignored and rooms full of people who were never going to buy or refer. You are the bottleneck on your own pipeline.
After
Two introductions are waiting in your inbox Monday morning. You walk into each conversation already vouched for. Your network becomes a channel that runs whether you're selling or not, and it builds month over month.
-
Monday
Two hand-picked introductions land, with who they are, why you were matched, and how you might do business.
-
Twice a month
The Connector Mastermind turns those introductions into real relationships and referrals.
-
By month six
Finding your next client or partner is no longer something you make time for. It runs in the background, every week.
You go from the person chasing business to the person business is brought to. From working the room to being known and vouched for, worldwide.
Ninety days from now, you've had roughly two dozen conversations you never had to chase, with people a trusted team decided you should meet. Some weeks it's a client. Some weeks a strategic partner or a referral source. Always the right two people, not a pile of names.

Who this is for
This is built for you if you're…
A B2B business owner, founder, or CEO (roughly $500K to $5M in revenue)
A fractional executive. CFO, COO, CMO, CRO, CTO. Fractional anything.
A coach, consultant, or agency owner
In professional services. Accounting, law, insurance, marketing, AI consulting, web and digital.
Able to do business from anywhere. We're worldwide. This is not a local group.
This isn't for everyone. Phil and his team match on fit, so here's where we draw the line. This isn't for you if…
- You only sell to your own zip code. We're worldwide by design.
- You want a magic button instead of building real relationships.
- You expect to take introductions without ever giving one.
- You'd rather stay a stranger than be known and vouched for.
We trade in trust, and trust takes a handshake, even a virtual one.
About Phil and the matching desk
I'm Phil, The Connector.
Back in 2018 I landed in a brand-new city where I knew nobody and had to build a network from scratch. Forty years in sales had already taught me the one thing that moves the needle: warm introductions. Everything else is noise.
So I don't do this alone. My team and I run a matching desk. All day, every day, we meet people, scrub the list, decide who should know who, and hand the right two to our members. That is the whole job.
We work one rule: give before you get. People over profits. It's how I became The Connector, and it's how every introduction gets made. Phil Herrington and Brian Hong built The Connector Community to hand business owners the network we wish we'd had.

The math
Run it the way a business owner would.
0
hand-picked introductions a year
If one of them, just one, all year, turns into a single client or partner, what's that worth to you? For most business owners, one great client is worth six figures.
So the choice is simple. Have Phil and his team of connectors out there finding your next partner every week, or keep trying to carve out the time to do it yourself.

Frequently asked questions
The honest answers.
Is this a local networking group?
No. The Connector Community is worldwide. As long as you can do business from a computer, your location doesn't matter. Your willingness to make and receive great introductions does.
What does membership cost?
We'll walk you through the details when you request your invite. Here's the lens that matters most: one client or partner from a single introduction usually covers a full year of membership many times over, which is exactly why we lead with the value, not the price.
How are my introductions chosen?
By hand. We look at who you serve and who you want to meet, then match you with members whose paths should genuinely cross yours. Quality over volume, every time.
I'm not a natural networker. Will this still work for me?
That's exactly who the One-to-One Framework and the mastermind are for. You don't need to be charming. You need a repeatable structure that turns conversations into raving fans or warm pitch invitations. We give you both.
Is this supposed to be my entire growth strategy?
No, and we'd tell you to run the other way if anyone promised that. This is one strong, reliable channel that runs alongside everything else you're already doing.
How much time does it take?
As much or as little as you want to invest. The introductions arrive whether you do anything or not, but members who show up to the mastermind and work the framework get the compounding results.
