No—we don’t use an app, and that’s intentional. Orb is built around real relationships and genuine referrals, not dashboards and admin.

At each meeting, members complete simple referral slips to record any referrals they’ve passed in the past fortnight, along with closed business slips to track business that has been won through the group. This helps us monitor the overall health of the group, make sure referrals are flowing well, and ensure members are getting real value from their membership.

This is never used to rank or benchmark members. It simply helps us make sure the group is working well for everyone.

Orb works best when members show up consistently, so we ask everyone to treat meetings with the same priority as any other important business appointment in their calendar.

If you’re unable to attend, we ask that you arrange a substitute where possible. This could be a colleague from your business, a friend, or even a client who would represent you well in the room.

As a general expectation, members should attend at least two meetings per month for a minimum of 10 months of the year. Consistent attendance helps build trust, stronger referrals, and better results for everyone. If attendance regularly falls below this level, we may need to review your membership to ensure the group remains strong and effective for all members.

We know that lots of kiwi businesses are networked in multiple places, and we're okay with that. People and businesses thrive when they have options, and we know our members will refer business to other members because they respect them, not because they're obliged to.

Members refer business to other members they trust. If you want to dial up the number of referrals you're receiving, neet with members and have a proper chat! It makes sense to tag on a one-to-one before or after our fortnightly meetings to learn more about other members.

Wait, this isn't a rule.
