Out of sight really can mean out of mind.
If people haven’t seen or heard from you for months, you’re less likely to be the person they remember when a referral opportunity comes up.

Turning up regularly helps keep your business visible, but it also gives relationships time to grow.
That’s where the real value of networking starts.

At our last meeting we had the pleasure of hearing from Jared Torrington, a Building Inspector (LBP) from CheckHome Building Inspections as our 10 minute speaker.

Jared shared a great presentation explaining exactly what Check Home covers and, more importantly, why it matters. He’s there to help buyers, vendors preparing their homes for sale, investors, sales agents, banks and insurance companies understand what may be sitting beneath the surface of a property.

His passion for doing the job properly comes from his own family’s experience. His parents purchased what turned into a nightmare home, with years of poor workmanship and issues that had been covered up by different trades along the way. That experience left Jared with a pretty simple philosophy: do the job once, and do it right.

After many years in the building industry, Jared has taken that knowledge into the inspection space, helping people better understand the homes they’re buying, selling, renovating or investing in.

Check Home also takes the quality of its inspections and healthy homes assessments seriously. They only use qualified builders, with a robust probationary period for new inspectors. During their initial stages, every report completed is reviewed to ensure the standard of work remains high.

Want to get more value from your networking membership?
Schedule more one-to-one conversations.

They give you the chance to understand what someone really does, who they help, what a good referral looks like and where you may be able to support each other.

That deeper understanding is what helps turn familiarity into trust. And trust into referrals. And referrals into business growth.

Good networking isn’t about collecting business cards!

It’s about building relationships with people who understand what you do, know who you can help and feel confident recommending you.

That takes consistency, trust and time.
We explore why that matters in our latest blog.

At our last meeting we had the pleasure of hearing from Claire House, a Photographer from Claire House Photography as our 10 minute speaker.

Claire opened her presentation by speaking in te reo Māori, immediately bringing a very personal element to her presentation. It was great to hear more about her journey, what led her to a career in photography, and, more importantly, her “why” in business today.

Claire also shared a Business Photography Audit Sheet, encouraging clients to think about the story they want to tell through their photography and how their images can communicate that message.

Claire’s ideal referral: Business owners who know they need photography but don’t have a clear plan or direction around the message they want to convey.

She also works with businesses and event organisers who want the peace of mind of knowing their event is being professionally captured, allowing them to relax, enjoy themselves and be part of the occasion while Claire documents the special moments.
