The Networking Group - Epsom

The Networking Group (TNG) is a networking organisation that connects Trades, Services and Professionals. The meetings are run according to an Agenda.

TNG 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 an immensely effective way of growing your business. Meetings are held fortnightly in a relaxed atmosphere where everyone is able to promote their business with no significant costs once you have joined. TNG is dif

ferent to other networking groups in the sense that 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 only a coffee is required to be purchased. We don't lock you into any fixed term contracts with the cafe we meet at. We also only allow one person from each trade or service to become a member so you are guaranteed to have no competition at the meetings. Our Meeting Format

At each TNG Group meeting there is a Group Manager. The Group Manager is responsible for facilitating the meetings. One minute talk - each Member and Guests has the opportunity to introduce themselves and their business. Please see below for the guidelines on how to create an effective one minute talk.

10 minute presentation - each Member will get the opportunity to do a 10 minute presentation. We only have one 10 minute speaker at each meeting. This is the time to give greater insight into what you do and the experience you have had. In addition, how you can help your fellow Members and what leads and referrals you would appreciate. Guest Speaker - there will either be a Guest Speaker or a Member doing a 10 minute presentation at each meeting. We invite Guest Speakers to promote their business and provide an interesting presentation for our Members. In turn, both our Members and the Guest Speaker receives exposure and referrals are often generated. The benefits of becoming a Member of Trade Networking Groups:

Good networking isn’t about walking into a room and asking for referrals.

The relationships come first.

People need time to get to know you, understand your business and trust that they can confidently recommend you to someone else.

That’s why regularly showing up and getting involved in your local business community matters.

We explore how those relationships can support business growth in our latest blog.

How far can you grow your business on your own?

There are only so many people you can meet, talk to and promote your business to.

But when you build strong relationships with other local business owners, your reach starts to extend beyond your own network.

People know what you do. They understand who you can help. And, importantly, they trust you enough to recommend you.

Our latest blog looks at how being part of a local business community can help your business grow further than you can alone.

Some great advice from one of our members, Theo Simeonidis, an insurance advisor from UProtectNZ Insurance Services:

"Your 60-second network pitch isn’t just a formality; it’s your moment in the spotlight. In one minute, you can inspire curiosity, build trust, and remind people exactly how you help others. Keeping it tight forces clarity. When you can tell your story with purpose in 60 seconds, people remember you and repeat your message. A 5-minute Shakespearian monologue will NOT achieve the same result!"

From their humble beginnings, they have grown rapidly, expanding from a small team to a dynamic group of advisers committed to exceeding client expectations. Their journey began with a focus on exceptional value, clear communication, and personalised service, setting them apart in the competitive mortgage market.

Want to use AI without losing authenticity at your next networking meeting?

Try this.

Ask AI to help you write your 60-second introduction.

Then put it aside and say it out loud.

If it doesn't sound like something you'd naturally say over a coffee, rewrite it.

Your networking pitch doesn't need to sound perfect.

It needs to sound like you.

People refer people they know, like and trust. That starts with being genuine.

AI can help you prepare for a networking meeting.

It can help you refine your 60-second introduction, brainstorm questions or organise your thoughts.

But once you walk through the door, it's all about you.

The conversations you have.
The interest you show in others.
The trust you build over time.

AI might help you make a good first impression.

Authenticity is what people remember.

If everyone is using AI to write their emails, social posts and presentations...
..how do you stand out?

The answer probably isn't using more AI.

It's using AI to support your business while letting your own personality, experience and relationships shine through.

Our latest blog looks at finding the right balance.

Everyone's talking about AI.

Far fewer people are talking about trust.

AI can help you write faster, prepare better and save time. But it can't build genuine relationships or earn referrals.

In our latest blog, we explore how to use AI without losing the authenticity that makes people want to do business with you.

Broadcaster Toni Street says:

"𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳, 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘶𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘯 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘳."

That's a powerful reminder for business owners.

Confidence isn't something you magically wake up with one day.

It grows every time you stand up, share your message, learn something, and do it again.

Keep showing up. Keep practising. Keep improving.
