3. Why TOP Networking Works
Culture before commission. Every club is built on the TOP DNA: Best Systems • Best Brand • Best Culture.
- Systems: a complete admin, payment, and marketing infrastructure means franchisees focus on people, not paperwork.
- Brand: a respected name trusted by SMEs, with national visibility and a strong digital footprint.
- Culture: professionalism, inclusivity, and genuine results. The Frances Frei Trust Model (Authenticity • Logic • Empathy) underpins how every club builds relationships that last.
This combination has proven to grow high-retention communities where members stay, refer, and thrive.
4. Your Role as a Franchisee
You are more than a facilitator. You are the connector-in-chief of your region.
- Launch and lead three local TOP Clubs, each meeting fortnightly.
- Recruit and retain quality members who value trust-based business.
- Host structured meetings that generate referrals and measurable results.
- Mentor members through onboarding, visibility, and collaboration.

TOP provides the systems and national brand. You bring the energy, empathy, and leadership.
