The Networking Group - Orewa

YOUR NETWORK MATTERS

Every TNG meeting is an opportunity to meet someone new, strengthen existing relationships and create connections that can benefit your business.

Across the country, our groups bring Kiwi business owners together to share knowledge, exchange referrals and support one another.

Make time for your network. You never know where one conversation could lead.

Find your local TNG group and come along.

Out of sight really can mean out of mind.
If people haven’t seen or heard from you for months, you’re less likely to be the person they remember when a referral opportunity comes up.

Turning up regularly helps keep your business visible, but it also gives relationships time to grow.
That’s where the real value of networking starts.

NETWORKING IS ABOUT CONNECTION

“Networking is not about just connecting people. It's about connecting people with people, people with ideas, and people with opportunities.” — Michele Jennae

The real value of networking comes from what happens after the introduction.

It could be a conversation that sparks a new idea, a connection that leads to an opportunity, or simply meeting someone who understands the challenges of running a business.

Good networking creates connections that keep giving long after the meeting ends.

WHY NETWORK?

Your business network can be one of the most valuable tools for growth.

OPPORTUNITIES
Meet people who can introduce you to new clients, referrals and collaborations.

KNOWLEDGE
Learn from other business owners, share experiences and discover new ideas.

GROW YOUR PROFILE
Increase your visibility and help more people understand what your business offers.

MENTORSHIP & SUPPORT
Build relationships with people who can offer advice, encouragement and a different perspective.

At TNG, we believe strong businesses are supported by strong connections.

Build your network. Grow your business. Grow together.

Our 60 second winner at the last meeting was Marcia Noda, a real estate agent at Marcia Noda - Bayleys for sharing her point of difference which is listening and how she helped a client by listening rather than showing the property features. Congratulations Marcia!

Marcia is committed to providing people with great service adding real weight to her customers’ experience. She takes the trust people place in her very seriously, recognising the important role property plays in their lives, and considers it an honour to play a part in her clients’ real estate journeys.

MEET. CONNECT. GROW.

Running a business can feel like a solo journey, but your network doesn’t have to be.
TNG meetings bring business owners together to share experiences, learn from each other and build genuine professional relationships.

Regular networking gives you the opportunity to stay visible, stay connected and stay open to new opportunities.

Make your next connection count.

Want to get more value from your networking membership?
Schedule more one-to-one conversations.

They give you the chance to understand what someone really does, who they help, what a good referral looks like and where you may be able to support each other.

That deeper understanding is what helps turn familiarity into trust. And trust into referrals. And referrals into business growth.

THE POWER OF YOUR NETWORK

“I've learned that a strong network is the ultimate shortcut to everything you want to achieve!” — Melitta Campbell

The right connections can open doors, introduce new opportunities, share knowledge and provide support when you need it most.

Building a strong network isn’t about how many people you know. It’s about creating genuine relationships with people who can learn from you, support you and grow alongside you.

Invest in your network. It could take you further than you expect.

Good networking isn’t about collecting business cards!

It’s about building relationships with people who understand what you do, know who you can help and feel confident recommending you.

That takes consistency, trust and time.
We explore why that matters in our latest blog.

Is business networking actually worth the time and investment?

It can be, but the value comes from more than simply turning up and waiting for referrals.

Strong networks are built through trust, visibility and relationships that grow over time.

Our latest blog looks at why connection is such an important part of long-term business growth.

Who do they help?
What kind of work are they looking for?
What are they really good at?

The better you understand the businesses in your network, the easier it is to recognise an opportunity for them when it comes up.

And the same applies to your business.

Networking works best when you take the time to build genuine relationships, not just swap business cards.

Introducing Holly Roberson, a personal trainer from Studio HR

Holly helps women 40+ take back control of their bodies, health and confidence. If you're anything like many of the women she works with, you're probably not looking for another quick fix.

You're looking for someone who understands that your body has changed, life is busy, and what worked in your 20's and 30's simply doesn't work anymore. That's exactly why Holly created Studio HR. She is a personal trainer, clinical and sports nutritionist, and for more than 30 years she’s been helping women become stronger, healthier and more confident.

But if there's one thing those 30+ years have taught her, it's this ... there is no one-size-fits-all approach to health. She’s seen every fad diet, detox, miracle supplement and "must-do" workout come and go. She’s watched women blame themselves when those approaches failed, when in reality they were following advice that simply wasn't designed for them. That's why everything she does is based on understanding the woman standing in front of her, not forcing her to fit someone else's plan.

Exercise is important
Nutrition is important

But so are your hormones, sleep, stress, lifestyle, medical history and the stage of life you're in. When you put all of those pieces together, that's when lasting change happens.
