Structured, professional and pressure free business networking that focuses on quality relationships, genuine referrals and a sense of community

Why the PoD AU-NZ Business Network?

What makes us different?

Our network is built around the premise of

KNOW, LIKE & TRUST

We are about developing quality relationships which in turn places YOU at the forefront of people's thinking when considering your profession. We are NOT about a pressured referral across the meeting table each time you attend a meeting.

PoD (noun)

"a self-contained unit having a particular function"

HUB (noun)

"the effective centre of an activity, region, or network"

The PoD AU-NZ Business Network (formally known as BoB Clubs Australia and BoB Clubs NZ) provides membership and professional breakfast, brunch and lunch business networking meetings known as 'Business PoDs' throughout Australia and New Zealand. Our focus is on building a Trans-Tasman quality business network with a major emphasis on forming genuine relationships in a pressure free, friendly business networking environment. Our thriving professional business community is made up of inspiring individuals keen to connect and they continue to be our major motivator as we build, innovate and grow.

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 'Business 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.

Business 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.

All Business PoDs have non-competing, exclusive "business classifications" which are attached to your membership for 12 months. As a member of the PoD AU-NZ Business Network you can 'reach out' and engage with fellow Business PoD members (even across the ocean with Trans-Tasman Business PoDs) and also seek opportunities with the regular stream of new Visitors to Business PoDs. We will be introducing a number of international opportunities to connect with other business networks across the Globe as we establish connections with likeminded networks in Canada, USA, the UKA and parts of Europe.

As a member of a Business PoD, your membership includes your own dedicated professional online 'PoD Profile' which displays various details about you and another dedicated tab for you to display information about your company and services. We also provide your own dedicated contact form so visitors can make direct contact with you without displaying your email address. Your 'PoD Profile' is quickly and effectively distributed using our SEO enhanced mobile friendly and responsive modern website. New and renewing memberships are also distributed and advertised across the entire AU-NZ network on a monthly basis.

With Business PoDs opening throughout Australia and New Zealand and the PoD AU-NZ Business Network growing in numbers and connectivity, we are seeking business professionals and SME owners who are looking for a pressure free yet professional and structured fortnightly networking event that provides the opportunity to meet new people, potential customers, generate quality referrals, get to KNOW, LIKE & TRUST people and form quality relationships.

Membership to the PoD AU-NZ Business Network may also provide access to various networking events and workshops at complimentary or discounted rates.
