Our story
Why Naspire exists
Through an innovative programme, Naspire helps members in every country build distinctive, powerful commercial success through personal referrals built on knowledge and trust. We have set standards for developing the industry of word-of-mouth business referral, grounded in the principle that all members are known for their experience, professionalism and loyalty to one another inside the network.
Weekly meetings are held to exchange qualified leads between members, build strong commercial relationships and develop effective presentation skills, with the goal of forming polished, capable business networks.
Our purpose and values
What we are building toward
Sustainable growth for every Naspire member, through an organised, professional referral programme that builds long-term relationships of value to everyone involved.
Inspired by heritage
We respect our traditions and our great heritage, build on them and look to a brighter future through channels of innovation, optimism and excellence.
Responsible to each other
We keep the promises we make, especially those that shape our members' futures, and we expect members to keep theirs to each other. That is how trust and strong relationships are built.
Generous with appreciation
We believe appreciation of others feeds the growth of successful companies and institutions. The person who masters the art of appreciation will attract success and happiness to themselves and those around them.
Ambitious by design
We set high goals for the network and for every member, and we build the chapters, training and tools to reach them.
Our core principle
Give to Gain®
The joy of giving exceeds the joy of taking many times over.
We are, by nature, a community that stands together. We wish good for others as we wish it for ourselves. From that deep-rooted heritage, Naspire's core value was shaped: Give to Gain®. The internal working philosophy of every component is built on motivating members to give and to help other members, so that the natural response to that giving is sustainable gain from relationships and outstanding positive results for their businesses at every level.
Be ready to give first, before expecting to gain. Unconditional giving creates a better world for everyone and creates important opportunities and lasting relationships.
Continuous learning
Your value grows as you develop your knowledge and skills. Learn the practical personal qualities required and make every possible effort to get there.
We build strong relationships
Building strong relationships creates an environment of trust and support that gives happiness, opportunity and real meaning to mutual benefit.
Positive performance
We look positively at everything that happens and that pushes our life forward. This approach attracts remarkable people, more opportunities and greater prosperity for us all.
Protected categories
Only two members from the same industry are accepted per chapter, so every referral in your field comes to you, with no favouritism and full transparency.
