Peninsula merchants wanting to improve their business-to-business networking need look no further than Peninsula Breakfast Club.
\nAround for more than 25 years, the business networking group meets the first and third Thursdays from 7 to 8 a.m. at The Bay Club Hotel & Marina, 2131 Shelter Island Drive.
\nThe hour-long breakfast meetings feature two speakers giving 10-minute speeches on their businesses.
\n“It\u2019s made up of local businesses in Point Loma and Ocean Beach,” said Chris Mannerino of Pacific Sotheby International Realty. “We\u2019re always looking for new businesses to come forward.”
\nMannerino said business partner, Mark Winkler, started the organization about 26 years ago.
\nAt present, the club counts amongst its members a Realtor, a dentist, an attorney, a car detailer and many more occupations.\u00a0
\nThe networking group, currently numbering about 25 members, does not allow competing members from the same business category.
\n“We\u2019re building lifelong relationships with these people,” said Mannerino. “I\u2019ve earned their trust \u2014 they\u2019ve earned mine.”
\nMannerino added the purpose of the group is to help support member businesses through referrals. “We support each other by using the businesses ourselves, as well as referring out to other people,” he said.
\nAs a Realtor, Mannerino noted, “I\u2019m not really pitching my properties.” Though he pointed out, “I\u2019ve sold three or four homes to group members.”
\nPeninsula Breakfast Club also has a business directory.
\nAnyone with an active business in either Point Loma or OB is eligible for membership in the group.
