Tauranga member raves about Venus

Hi Diana,
We have a great Venus Club Branch. (Tauranga City Venus Club)

I love supporting something I feel is beneficial to all in that our combined effort in supporting each other only makes our businesses and determination to survive stronger. Thank you so much for referring me for the workshop on Tuesday. (Brand YOU, Fiona Hewitt) It couldn’t have been better timed. I am sure our business will really benefit from it.
You are a very giving person. Betty from www. knights2rememba.co.nz

I have been really impressed with the way the Venus Club system works and the lovely ladies we have in the City Club in Tauranga.

It certainly is a fantastic way of networking and feels more friendly sitting around a table talking to each other and sharing our ideas and experiences rather than standing in a room full of a lot of people talking to each other and not really circulating or really hearing what the people we are talking to REALLY do.

Venus Club members share their thoughts…
I joined the Venus Club with an expectation that it may help grow my new business, it not only grew it, it encouraged me and grew my confidence.

The Venus Club has put me in touch with a large group of like minded business women who are all cheering me on. Ive only had help and support from all these women, and cant imagine not being part of it.

“I just want to say thanks for having me in the club – not only does it get me out of my office and meeting/talking to people at the meetings/RAVEs, it’s also getting me excited about moving the business forward!:

“Everyone is so positive and enthusiastic! It’s a great service you’re providing and is helping me massively even though I’ve only been to 3 meetings! I really believe it’s down to your enthusaism and positive attitude (that rubs off on us!) and ‘looking out for us all’ – it’s like a little Venus family! Thank you!”

“I am meeting so many amazing women who I am forming great friendships and business relationships with.

This time last year I would never have thought I could be having this much fun!!
It’s fantastic, thank you and the venus group for bringing us all together.”

“I so enjoy the Venus Club!

It provides me with an opportunity to lift my head from the depths of my business and to surround myself with a group of like-minded, highly spirited and enormously motivating women.

There are many “ah ha” moments in our meetings as I learn about the goals, challenges and successes that we all share being self employed. It frequently reinforces that I am part of a community of women all working to create fantastic futures!

I value Vanessa Davey so very much and appreciate the personal interest she takes in my business”

“Through the Venus Clubs I have been introduced to some fabulous women. The relaxed atmosphere during the meetings enables each person to learn more about each others business in a positive and encouraging way. The clubs provide a forum for members to gain confidence with their own business direction and build stronger relationships with other members to benefit themselves and others.

I have been able to build my company’s brand and my profile locally through their clubs, thereby increasing the awareness of my business. It has been rewarding to be able to refer these women’s businesses to other people I have met, knowing that I may be benefiting both parties concerned by connecting them together.”

“Advertising is a costly exercise and isn’t always guaranteed to produce results. To sum up, joining the club was the most cost effective marketing expense we ever made! GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY!”

“I cannot recommend the Venus Clubs enough. Since joining the club, I have made some strong and supportive friends, increased my sales and even better my personal confidence. These groups are ideal for women relocating to a new area and especially great for new businesses.”

“With PrintStop being a unique business within its sector, it has been a struggle communicating my unique message to business prospects. Being a part of the Venus Club has allowed me to explain to people face to face what makes our company so fantasic. Within the Venus Club there is a strong sense of business support. Whenever I need a product or service for business or personal I always ask a Venus Club member first, as I know I am guaranteed top quality pricing and service.”

“At last, a networking organisation that works to help and support me as a businesswomen.”
“I am very happy to be a member of the Tauranga Seaside Venus Club where I get to educate 20 women about my business so they can refer people to me and vice versa. What more could you ask for, beautiful entreprenerial women each with an inspiring business that they are very passionate about and the opportunity to work together. “
“Thanks Vanessa for creating a professional and supportive community for women, so positive.”

“I really enjoy the groups and yes I have definitely increased my client base as a direct result. The guidance into thinking about my business and how I present that to the public has been invaluable. The added revenue means that being a member hasn’t cost me financially, just time investment in attending the meetings and getting together with individuals between meetings to learn and share more about our businesses. ”
“I have found that the life principles of reaping and sowing, paying forward and giving and receiving have definitely applied. Pressing in and making the most of each opportunity brings immeasurable rewards!
It’s getting to be a busy time of the year to be spending time away from the coal face, and then on the other hand it’s refreshing to take that time away while still actually focussing on work.”
