Building a business can be difficult.
Especially if you are new to an area or if you don’t have many existing connections.
It can be lonely and it can be hard to make headway. You can feel like you are treading water, just biding your time until things take off.
That is why it is helpful to tap into a supportive network of other businesses who can not only provide referrals, but also give you advice and tips to grow your business.
That is what TNG provided for Tony Pearce from GutterSucker.
Who Is GutterSucker?
GutterSucker is headed by Tony Pearce and they are specialists in outdoor maintenance for your home or office premises. But their services come with a difference. Due to the innovative technology they use, they can clean gutters as high up as 7 metres without having to use a ladder.
Yes, you did read that right. No more dangerous ladders for outdoor maintenance work!
Instead, Tony and his team use the Gutter Suck system. It is a state of the art, large vacuum unit, connected to high reach clear poles that suck the muck from your gutters. The distinctly portable wet/dry units offer unheard of suction capabilities which is essential to thoroughly and efficiently clean all types of guttering systems.
The GutterSucker Story
Tony’s knew his unique risk-free gutter cleaning offering was going to benefit households all around Auckland (and beyond). After all, many accidents in the home occur when someone is up a ladder! GutterSucker removes that danger by keeping your feet firmly planted on the ground, but still providing a solution for cleaning those gutters two stories up in the air.
But as Tony has only been in Auckland for 7 years, he did not have the wide range of connections needed to get his business out there.
A few people recommended that he join TNG because of the connections he could make and the networking he could do in his local area. He was told that TNG is a great network for tradespeople to join, as there are many trades within it, as well as access to lots of professional services and like-minded business people.
After joining, Tony discovered the value of being able to connect his business with others in the network. It meant that he not only got to meet the people who attended his local TNG meetings, but also got to connect with their wider networks. It was connections upon connections!
For Tony, the great thing about joining TNG was growing his own network. Sure, that meant referrals and recommendations, but it also allowed him to tap into a wider skillset to enhance his own business.
TNG is full of a diverse range of businesses. That means a wealth of experience that all group members can tap into. And they are all gathered together in one room every fortnight! That sounds like the perfect recipe for support and advice.
Business Growth Strategies That Work…
Tony is the first to say that he is certainly not losing out on the cost of his membership! The referrals he receives from within the group more than outweigh the joining fee. In fact, the cost benefit for Tony is really good.
But more than the referrals he receives, Tony enjoys meeting new people. You cannot place a cost on gaining insightful knowledge from people who are experts in their industries. And there are bucketloads of knowledge at every TNG meeting.
Take Tony’s advice, “joining TNG is a good way to connect your business, whether you are in startup mode or beyond, as it will assist with the growth of your business. There is a great selection of services to enhance your business.”
