NCBA Support Mechanisms
Referrals and Testimonials
Referrals and testimonials are integral components of the NCBA. As a group, the NCBA nurtures business relationships between members, facilitating trust and confidence in each other’s products and services. This, in turn, results in quality referrals. In order to continue to receive quality referrals and testimonials, each member strives for excellence in the performance of their business.
Training and Education
The NCBA regularly utilises both the internal expertise of its members and the external expertise of professional presenters by hosting informative presentations and question and answer sessions. Some examples of past presentations have included subjects such as Human Resource Management, Marketing, Cost Cutting, Accounting and Taxes, Health and Safety, Business Banking, Improving Efficiencies, Communication, Advertising on a Tight Budget, and much, much more.
Pooled Resources and Experience
NCBA members range from start-ups to established successful businesses. Some members are in a position to provide a certain amount of mentoring to those just beginning their journey into the world of self-employment; some are experiencing the growing pains of pending expansion while others have reached their ideal size. This mix results in regular discussions where members share future concerns and past experiences. Due to the large pool of resources available around the table, expertise, products, services and solutions in general are often sourced within a short period of time.
Social
Social events are organised several times a year. NCBA members get an opportunity to meet each other’s families, get to know each other more and reinforce their business relationships in a social environment.
