Join TNG

The Networking Group (TNG) is a business and professional networking organisation for Trades, Services and Professional Business Owners. It is your opportunity to grow strong business relationships with your fellow Members and thus receive and give referrals. TNG promotes the power of word of mouth marketing, which is a very effective way of growing your business.

By becoming a TNG Member you will be exposed to a wide range of businesses through structured Face to Face fortnightly networking meetings, and fortnightly online meetings with an educational speaker. Also included is Membership to the global EdTech platform The Octopus Tribe through Worldwide Business Intelligence, offering weekly webinars, global Facebook Group and 9 educational modules which if marked are eligible for CPD points.

As a Member of TNG you will:

  • Grow your business
  • Connect with like-minded business owners
  • Create “sales people” out of your fellow Members
  • Allow the power of word of mouth marketing to work for your business
  • Increase your exposure through leveraging off TNG and our Members
  • Benefit from advice and help from other Members, often at no cost
  • Feel a sense of belonging
  • Share your concerns, ideas and challenges with other business owners

We have made the TNG Membership investment really affordable. You pay a “one off” joining fee of $149 plus GST. We then charge $599 plus GST for annual Membership, or monthly Membership at $60 plus GST. You are not required to buy breakfast at our venues unless you wish to.

TNG is different to other Networking Groups as we create a relaxed atmosphere for you to network and grow your businesses through word of mouth marketing. Our meetings allow you to feel comfortable and enjoy yourself whilst investing time to work on your business. The meetings are held fortnightly and there is no commitment to buy breakfast or coffee. We also only allow one person from each trade, service or profession to become a Member of the Group, so you are guaranteed to have no competition at the meetings.

By becoming a Member of TNG you will receive the ultimate platform to help build your business through:

  • Fortnightly Face to Face TNG networking meetings
  • Membership to The Octopus Tribe, weekly webinars and 9 module educational platform
  • CPD Points for webinars and any marked Octopus modules
  • One on one meet-ups with fellow Members
  • Free networking and referral training, Networking Book and Business Card Holder
  • The benefits of new guests and Members always attending the meetings
  • A free reminder text before each meeting
  • TNG’s blog posts and newsletter

TNG expects all its Members to attend each meeting with a positive attitude and to represent themselves and their businesses honestly.

We expect our Members to attend each meeting and in the instance where they cannot, a representative should be sent. We understand that this may not always be possible, so in that case we expect an apology. Your apology will be announced at the TNG meeting.

TNG have an absentee policy in place whereby if you do not attend five meetings in the year your Membership will be reviewed by the TNG Management Team. This is to encourage Members to attend the meetings on a regular basis for the benefit of their own business, fellow Members, 10-minute speakers plus guests who visit the Groups.

TNG prohibits the promotion of other networking organisations’ groups or events within any of the TNG business platforms including groups and social media. If this is not respected, such promotion will be seen as a conflict of interest.

TNG reserves the right to terminate membership at any time without offering a reason or explanation. No refunds will be paid for any unused portion of membership.

As a Member of TNG, your commitment is required to not only grow the Group that you belong to, but for you and your business to receive the full benefit that the Membership offers. Always remember you will get out of TNG what you put in.

TNG allows its existing Members to attend other Groups as long as your trade, service or profession isn’t represented in that Group. (Two visits are permitted to each Group per calendar year). You may also be able to attend as a guest speaker to promote your business to the Members of other Groups subject to discussion with the relevant Group Manager.

You are welcome to attend a Group meeting as a guest to find out if TNG will be of value to you and your business. Fill out a Visitor Form and after the meeting the Group Manager or Area Group Manager will meet with you and discuss TNG in further detail. You are welcome to two free visits before being asked to make a commitment to join.   If you have any questions about TNG please email sales@tng.org.nz.

Once you confirm that you would like to join TNG your Membership will be processed and when your invoice has been paid your Membership to your Group will be confirmed and you will be invited into the Online meetings and The Octopus Tribe.
