“Venus is so much more than referrals. Ultimately we all want to grow our businesses, and referral based marketing is a great way of doing this. Why should you go to a Venus meeting to do this? Because the women around the table get you. The relationships develop over time thanks to the unique business model Venus adheres to, and through these relationships you get to know your fellow members, who double as your sales team.”

“They know you, and importantly they trust you… the cool part happens here where they refer you! So there’s the box beside ‘Grow your business’ ticked. How about ‘Grow yourself’? This is the part I love! I get to watch women develop their confidence, and feel supported as they do so. A Venus meeting provides its members with numerous opportunities to fine-tune on both personal and professional levels, again and again.  Inevitably the growth of that member on so many levels happens – that is the wow factor!”

As a Business Coach, I enjoy helping my clients get to the “next level” in their business, whatever that looks like to THEM. I specialize in helping my clients turn common sense into common practice. www.10xhamilton.co.nz

“I am absolutely passionate about supporting women in business.  So, when I looked into Venus Network last year, it was a ‘no-brainer’ for me to become involved.  Little did I know at the time I joined that my journey would lead me to putting my hat in the ring to become the Waikato Regional Coordinator! 

That being said, I couldn’t be happier at the prospect of helping to create a thriving Venus network community all over the Waikato.  My past experience as well as my current role as a Business Coach will help me deliver fantastic value to our Facilitation teams, who in turn will run healthy, productive Venus groups.  Bring it on!”

“Although I am new to The Venus Network I have plenty of experience with networking organisations. I am highly impressed by the integrity of the business and I’m excited and thrilled to have the opportunity to build and grow this powerful organisation. The members I have met to date are warm and welcoming. There is a strong sense of being part of a functional team. Mutual cooperation and fellowship have been a significant part of my experience of Venus thus far. I’m looking forward working with you all.”
