The benefits of online networking in the South East

If you’re a business owner, leader or entrepreneur in the City of Casey or Greater Dandenong, Fresh National is for you. We’re an online business networking group helping people like you to connect with other professionals in the area and beyond. You’ll get to build trusted relationships with your fellow members, expand your network of contacts and help to support each other’s businesses.

We know you’re time poor, so we hold our fortnightly networking meetings online, saving you valuable time (not to mention the cost of travel and a café breakfast). You spend less time in traffic and more focussing on getting to know your fellow members.

The best of online, local and national networking

We’re part of the larger Fresh National community, with hubs across Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane – as a Fresh National South East member, you can visit any or all of these to grow your network the length of the eastern seaboard.

Although we hold our meetings online, members of Fresh National South East are local to Casey and Dandenong, so when we want to have social get-togethers or business meetings face to face, we’re not travelling for ages to do so.

Fresh National South East is perfect for busy business people who want to extend their networks, learn and develop, all with a lot of fun along the way. Why not come along as our guest to a meeting and see what Fresh National South East can offer you.

  • The efficient way to network for busy professionals
  • The best of online and local
  • Build strong relationships
  • Know, like and trust – no forced referrals
  • Expand your network – in Casey, Dandenong and beyond

How does this online hub work?

When you join Fresh National, you’ll be allocated to an area hub, based on the area of Melbourne in which your business is based. Within your area hub, you’ll be the only member in your business category.

If you’re in a smaller area hub, which hasn’t yet reached the 10 members required for independence, you’ll still be taking part in a combined meeting with the capital city hub. You may find that in the capital city hub meeting, you’re not the only bookkeeper/graphic designer/mortgage broker in the room. The faster your area hub grows, the faster you reach independent meetings and exclusive claim to your category.

Our Next Meeting

At every meeting, a member gives a presentation about their business, or a topic on which they are an expert.

This helps us to build the ‘know, like and trust’ that is at the heart of Fresh. By getting to know a member that bit better, we get closer to understanding their ideal referral and whether we can introduce them to any of our contacts.
