Take a tour of the Johannesburg Collective Johannesburg's Leading Introducers
A working group of Johannesburg professionals who trade introductions, properly, to people each of them actually knows.
It exists because this city runs on who you know, and the usual alternatives, the breakfast with forty strangers, the LinkedIn message nobody answers, waste a morning you do not have.
It is also where careers move. Members in Johannesburg sometimes meet their next employer, find their next job or make their next hire through Johannesburg Introductions Collective, because the best roles are often filled by someone a trusted person recommends.

Johannesburg Introductions Collective is a My Most Trusted club for Johannesburg business people who would rather be introduced than cold call. Members ask for the people they need, such as a supplier, an adviser or a client, and someone who knows them makes the introduction. Business networking does get done, and the city's chambers are worth joining too.
Johannesburg Introductions Collective brings together Johannesburg business owners and professionals who introduce each other through people they trust. Several members are shown on the club's website, and every member is part of My Most Trusted's wider network.
Be specific about who you want to meet and why it helps them, offer to write the note, and thank the person whatever happens. People like helping when it is easy. Johannesburg Introductions Collective, part of My Most Trusted, makes asking for introductions normal. Read more
