WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT YTM

Questions & Answers about our events

  • We like to take into account individual needs and learning styles. Some people enjoy the mastermind style structure of Learn Grow Achieve with emphasis on the insight, others like the conversation card activities in Connect with Confidence. Our Collaborate and Connect has encouraged conversations around working as a team or power group , and Eat and Meet- includes, Lunch and Learns and Progressive Dinners. 

    All events include some educational insight, and selling from stage is avoided.  You get full value from the speakers who willingly share their expertise.

    Our Members utilize the entire program, knowing that  regular attendance at the same event is important to establish sustainable relationships.

    • To grow your business you need the right connections, conversations and opportunities.

    • At Business Connect you will be introduced and “matched” with appropriate people for conversations, no more having to walk into a room of strangers and find relevant connections.  

    • You will enjoy belonging to a community of like minded business owners and professionals who value personal and professional development opportunities and be able to seek opportunities and leads.

    • You will benefit from formats that boost your confidence and knowledge to help you grow a bigger and better business.

    • You know that no one achieves anything alone and there are others who want  to help you. 

  • Our events attract men and women, business owners and professionals,  who either work for a SME or have left corporate and started their own business.  Their backgrounds are diverse and generally they provide B2B professional services and are keen to seek suppliers, referrers, clients and friends as they grow their own business.

  • Non- Members are always welcome, however there are SO many extra benefits in committing to an annual Membership whereby you save money and time, by combining opportunities to learn, connect and explore collaboration and opportunities. We also know that relationships take time to build and investing in attending regularly, you develop trust and connection within our strong community.

    Remember the saying- “"rarely do you marry after the first date”.

  • Sure. Wondering if it's right for you? Take up the offer of our STARTER PACKAGE. Simply pay $225- plus GST, (equivalent to a joining fee) and benefit from opportunity to attend 3 events* in three months and access 3 recorded sessions from our Member Portal so you can get a taste for what is on offer, connect with members from our community and decide your next steps. When you decide to continue, you then move straight to monthly payments, no joining fee. (* there is a surcharge for in-person events to cover catering and venue costs for all members).

  • Firstly, when you register, we ask you who you would like to connect with and we do everything in our power to make that happen.  We look at who is in the room, what connections they may have and who is best suited to help you grow. 

    Secondly, YTM events have definite structure which have proven to be very effective.  The varied formats  keep networking interesting and  give the participants opportunity to have conversations prompted by  insights and activities.  You will have more conversations than at traditional networking events. 

    Thirdly, there  is no pressure to supply referrals,  or restriction on single category as we believe people do business with those they know, like and trust once  relationships have been forged.  Every person has their own USP!

  • Generally we attract 20 to 35 people, which is ideal to have meaningful conversations and really get to know who is in the room. It makes connection more comfortable, rather than walking into a sea of unknown faces, and we will introduce you and work with you to find the access you seek.

  • You need to consider exactly what is your intention. Do you like to learn and have conversations where you learn from experiences, different perspectives and knowledge of others in a similar situation? Or, do you prefer a more relaxed format like a dinner event, or to sit at your desk at home on zoom for Lunch and Learn? By taking up the STARTER PACKAGE you can experience the variety.

    We take all learning styles and personality types into account. Whichever format you choose, we provide support, connection and opportunity to reflect, review and improve your business strategies, systems and processes through the time you invest, personally and professionally.

  • When we run in-person events, we take ease of parking or public transport availability into consideration. Who wants to waster time searching for a carpark?

  • If you can add value to others, there is no reason at all!
