Testimonials

A huge thank you to Melanie, Mark and the TNG networks. Being a part of TNG for the last 5 years has been so enjoyable, and has helped me both professionally and personally. My business has grown and I have increased my network substantially. I am able to refer my clients to people I know and trust. Thanks TNG!

Great Group, love the atmosphere really inviting!

Great diverse grouping of business and fun people

A great way to meet like minded business people and build your local connections.

The Kerikeri group is amazing and highly recommend it for all businesses

TNG (The Networking Group) is much more than the name suggests. As a member, you immediately increase your sales team, make new friends, and exchange ideas to help the growth of your business. The support from the group is invaluable. If your a business owner, I highly recommend you get in touch.

I started my business journey by going to TNG meetings, and it has been one of the primary reasons for my overall success in business so far in 2 1/2 years in business. I was a trained primary school teacher before starting my photography business and had limited success marketing my business before joining TNG.

By attending the bi-weekly meetings, I was able to slowly develop business relationships and get REAL TIME and immediate feedback after doing my 60 second pitches. Attending TNG helped me really refine and solidify my business pitch over the last 2 1/2 years, and feel comfortable sharing what really makes my business stand out against others.

There isn't any other networking group so far that I have been a part of that gave me the same encouragement to keep going through hard times, to refine my business pitch, to try out new ideas and share them with the group.

I have stayed a solo operator so far, but grown enormously in my confidence because of the community feeling that I got from my local Rosedale, Auckland TNG group and I would recommend the TNG way to anybody looking to start a business and to find connections in the business world.

I still keep in touch with my group today, even though I have decided to move from Auckland to Queenstown, but I know the business relationships and friendships I have developed as a result of joining TNG will last for years to come.

Thanks Mark and Melanie for creating a business networking community that is friendly, welcoming and supportive! I look forward to joining the Queenstown group whenever it comes to town :D

Joining The Networking Group has been an amazing experience for my business, Go Fox Plumbing! The group has provided me with incredible opportunities to connect with like-minded professionals, and the support from everyone has been invaluable.

A big shout-out to Mark and Melanie, the owners of this fantastic group. Their leadership and dedication to creating a collaborative, supportive environment have truly made a difference for my business. The referrals, business advice, and lasting partnerships I've gained through the group have contributed directly to my growth.

If you’re looking for a network that genuinely helps businesses thrive, this is the place to be. I’m so grateful for everything this group has done for Go Fox Plumbing and can’t recommend it highly enough. Thank you, Mark and Melanie, for building such a wonderful community!

Great support from the TNG team, always ready to chat and move things forward.

Great team environment, very supportive.

A great way to grow your business and know that you are not alone

Fun, vibrant, energetic & valuable!!

I feel truly blessed to have learnt about TNG in 2014, quite by accident, from another insurance adviser. Till then, I’d never heard of TNG, but it has proven to be one of the very best investments of time, money and energy that I have ever put into anything. But while the income has been great, it goes well beyond money alone. TNG provides a wonderful opportunity to learn from other professionals who have expertise in areas outside our own skill-set and experience.

It provides an opportunity to build enduring business relationships and personal friendships. It gives members the opportunity to grow their confidence in public speaking and perfecting their pitch. The COVID lockdowns also highlighted how TNG groups provided a wonderful, caring, nurturing and supportive environment when some of our members have faced extreme difficulties. While the business generated through TNG is awesome, all these other non-financial benefits of TNG membership also make us personally “richer” in ways other than in money alone.

Great group - lots of camaraderie, good laughs and many helpful leads for my business. Group is not as formal as some, and worth the fortnightly investment of time.

Relaxed, friendly networking. Awesome to share and hear about each others businesses and how we can help each other through advice and referrals.

I would like to thank TNG for facilitating really awesome networking events and of course the regular meetings. They are a great way for businesses to grow their networks. Keep it up!

Great bunch of professionals that really support and promote each others businesses.

Great way to meet other businesses and pass referrals both ways

Kerikeri Networking Group - Lovely group of like minded people, offering support, referrals and information

Great way to Network and to learn and grow your business

Great organization, bringing NZ companies together.

TNG is a great part of my business. I get to hang out with like minded people and share opportunities when they come up. Givers gain, and it's a relationship building experience one which will find you leads, friends and other opportunities you never thought possible.
