You don’t need more contacts.

You need a compounding network of influence.

 

Networking breaks down when it’s built on lagging metrics instead of leading inputs.
That’s how you end up with limited reach, low-trust rooms, and no system to make value + follow-up repeatable.

Pain Point 1

High-quality rooms (not sales rooms)

Bad rooms don’t just waste time — they tax your reputation.

What it looks like:

  • People hunting transactions, not building ecosystems.
  • Forced pitching, shallow listening, “spray and pray” intros.
  • You leave with contacts, but no confidence to refer anyone (because you don’t trust delivery).

The deeper cost:

  • You stop introducing people.
  • You stop sharing real problems.
  • You stop collaborating openly.

The fastest way to kill long-term networking ROI is to put good operators in rooms with bad incentives.

Pain Point 2

Systematisation support (so it compounds)

Networking without systems turns into hope-based growth.

What it looks like:

  • You want to be valuable, but you don’t have a repeatable way to identify who you can help.
  • Introductions aren’t clean (wrong language, wrong timing).
  • Follow-up feels awkward, and “what’s in motion” gets lost.
  • You give value randomly, then wonder why nothing comes back.
  • Or you try to extract too early — because there’s no trust runway.

The truth:

Long-term networking is a value engine: contribute sustainably, build trust + goodwill, earn a reputation for delivery — then opportunities compound.

Without systems, you rely on force of personality and constant manual input. With systems, you build reputation at scale, with leverage.

Pain Point 3

Better reach (so your radius expands)

If your network doesn’t expand your operating radius, it’s not a growth asset — it’s a social loop.

What it looks like:

  • Same 12–20 people, same conversations, same “we should catch up”.
  • Referrals stay local, accidental, and inconsistent.
  • Your best partners aren’t even in the room — they’re in the next city, the next industry, or already connected to someone you haven’t met yet.

The deeper cost:

Limited reach doesn’t just reduce leads — it reduces optionality. You can’t build partner pathways if your network graph is small and repetitive.

Pain Point 4

Good fit = good growth

Growth for growth’s sake is how communities lose trust.

What it looks like:

  • Rooms get diluted and standards slip.
  • Introductions get noisier and less accurate.
  • Good operators disengage because the signal-to-noise drops.

Why “Book with Chris” exists:

  • We grow based on member needs: new partners, aligned operators, shared values.
  • If there’s an immediate pathway, we nurture it into a live channel.
  • If it’s not “right now,” we log your details so it can become “later” when the right match appears.

Fit protects the room. Fit protects outcomes.


 

 Founder: Chris White (Director)

I built NOW Group because most networking is busy… but not high leverage.  Great operators end up in low-trust rooms, with limited reach, and no system to turn goodwill into consistent partner outcomes. NOW is the standard I wanted to exist: invite-only, trust-first, and built for real introductions and shared growth.

Intention is everything.

Credibility (quick context):

  • 15 years RAF Engineer (Communications & Electronics) — systems, standards, precision

  • Performance Coaching + Psychology background — human behaviour, trust-building, performance

  • Connector/operator by design — partner pathways, introductions, and execution rhythm

Philosophy: Trust is the only true currency.

The NOW Philosophy 

Is NOW for you?

We're a great fit if you…

  • Want partner pathways, not just contacts

  • Prefer high-trust rooms over high-volume rooms

  • Are willing to contribute consistently (and build a reputation for delivery)

  • Want structure: systems, standards, and an operating rhythm

  • Care about long-term outcomes: trust, goodwill, and compounding referrals

Not a fit if you…

  • Want to pitch everyone fast and “see what sticks”

  • Prefer open rooms with no standards or accountability

  • Want outcomes without contribution or follow-through

  • Treat networking as a one-off event, not a long-term asset
