The Benefits
Learn more about how the different facets of ARN allow for a multitude of benefits to flow to members who invest their time and energy into the group.
Referrals
Referrals is the term for business received by members. They are high quality leads flowing to members of the group. The obvious benefit from referrals is the dollar values transacted for that business to benefit top line revenue. Generally referrals from networking groups are warm to hot leads and usually convert much easier and are better quality due to their inherent “word of mouth” and trust structure foundation.
Relationships
Building relationships with other business leaders is an essential to achieving success in business that offers enjoyment and satisfaction beyond financial gain. We all know business is challenging at times, so having a support network of individuals who not only understand, but have experienced similar challenges, is incredibly valuable. On the flipside, having a team of people around you to champion you and celebrate success when it comes, takes the joy of business to new heights.
Learning
Across the ARN network there is literally hundreds of years of business expertise. Having access to individuals with specialist skill sets and years of experience across the full spectrum of business offers unparalleled value to members.
Networking
Expanding your network of trades, business services and personal services within your region adds value to both servicing your own requirements but also increases your value to others. Being able to confidently recommend services from your network to friends, colleagues, clients and family will only reflect positively on you.
