PoD AU-NZ BUSINESS NETWORK FAQ

F.A.Q

FAQs about becoming a member

The PoD Business Network Ltd and PoD Business Network Pty Ltd (referred to as the PoD AU-NZ Business Network) provide professional breakfast, brunch and lunch business networking meetings known as 'PoDs' throughout Australia and New Zealand and was formally known as BoB Clubs NZ and BoB Clubs Australia - this connection ceased in December 2017 as our focus to build a Trans-Tasman, quality and effective business network with a major emphasis on forming genuine relationships in a pressure free, friendly business networking environment continues to be our major motivator to grow our thriving professional business community. 

 

The PoD AU-NZ Business Network provides members with the opportunity for professional Face to Face, friendly and pressure free, yet structured, business networking meetings (PoDs) that assist members with establishing new contacts and connections and generating quality business referrals.  A collection of 'PoDs' in a city/region/state then represent a 'HUB' that can collectively get together for business /social events / occasions resulting in greater connections and improved opportunities.

 

PoDs meet fortnightly and are the catalyst for creating quality relationships based on trust and professionalism.  This results in quality professional referral and lead generation for members without any pressure.
  • Q - How often does a PoD meet?
  • A - All PoDs in the PoD AU-NZ Business Network meet once every TWO weeks

 

  • Q- How much does it cost to become a member?
  • A - The cost to become a member is the same in Australia and New Zealand - New Members - $645+GST,  Renewing Members - $495+GST,  Visitors (Max 2 visits - Inc. Breakfast) $20-$30 inc GST.  Note: One Time Registration Fee: $150+GST - Annual Membership: $495+GST.  A Meeting Attendance Fee ($20-$30) is charged at each meeting and this provides food, beverage and venue costs.  Australian PoDs are charged in AUD - New Zealand PoDs are charged in NZD

 

  • Q - Can I spread the cost of membership?
  • A - If you are a new/startup business, it may be possible to spread the cost of the annual membership after you have paid the one-off registration fee. Then pay your annual membership on the agreed dates. Doing this will not cost you any more than paying in one go. However, this will be at the discretion of the Director(s) of PoD Business Network Ltd  and PoD Business Network Pty Ltd

 

  • Q - If I can't make a meeting do I have to provide a substitute?
  • A - No, you don't have to provide a substitute, but it may be worthwhile getting someone to stand in for you to promote your business if possible

 

  • Q - Can I reserve my exclusive place at a PoD that is in "START-UP"?
  • A - Yes, and all you have to pay is the one-off registration fee - you will not be asked to pay anything else until the PoD is about to officially launch

 

  • Q- If I join a PoD that is in "START-UP" when will my membership begin?
  • A - Your full 12 months membership will not commence until the PoD officially launches

 

  • Q - I represent a Not For Profit, if I joined a PoD would I get a discount?
  • A - The PoD AU-NZ Business Network gifts an annual membership to one Registered Not For Profit organisation per PoD, per year.  If you think your organisation may fit the criteria please contact us.

FAQ - When you are a member

  • Q - Do I have to attend every meeting?
  • A - No, but it is REALLY important to attend as many PoD meetings as possible, so as not to miss the opportunity to promote your business, ask for specific referrals and to meet with visitors and members

  • Q - How do I let you know if I can't make a meeting?
  • A - 7-10 days before each meeting you will receive and automated email to remind you of the next meeting. All we expect you to do is respond to the email confirming that you will be attending OR to tell us why you can't make that meeting - ie: On holiday, illness etc so that we can confirm final numbers with the venue.

  • Q - Do I have to give referrals?
  • A - NO, we only want members to pass quality referrals so if you don't have any at any meetings that is OK. We prefer QUALITY rather than QUANTITY ! But please remember the more referrals you GIVE the more you will  RECEIVE

  • Q - What else should I do to make sure that a PoD works for me?
  • A - One REALLY important thing to do is arrange regular 'Meet-Up' with each member of your PoD. This will help you both understand what you both do and the sort of people who you are looking for introduction to.
