[Audio: Upbeat background music plays softly throughout.]

Engage with the regional business partner network.

We get little bits of gold every time we speak to them.

The amount of support and network you get from it is absolutely amazing.

[Visual: Cut back to a man wearing a ‘Mufftech’ shirt. He stands in a bright kitchen, then appears in a casual interview setting. He looks thoughtful, occasionally smiling, and gestures as he speaks. His name, Simon Stone, appears along the bottom of the screen along with the brand Mufftech.]

I basically didn't have any decent hearing protection at work. It was uncomfortable. The sound quality was terrible.

I love hospitality and I want to be able to do the best that we can.

The background is softly lit, with ‘Keyhook’ branding visible on the wall behind him. His name Luke Nicholls and the brand Keyhook appears along the bottom of the screen.]

I was property manager at the time. Um, Aaron, my co-founder being the tech wizard, he is, he said, you know, you can automate a lot of what you are doing.

I originally heard about the partner network through a good friend of mine. They said, you need to reach out to them. So I went in a bit cautious, thinking, what am I gonna get out of this?

[Visual: Cut back to Simon alone in his kitchen being interviewed.]

[Visual: Cut to Taz sitting at a restaurant booth. He had a note pad in front of him and someone off screen is on a laptop facing and interacting with him. It zooms out to show the same woman who had been with Simon.]

First connection with, um, Regional Business partner Network reached out. It was just really nice to be heard and have that really amazing support.

[Visual: Cut to Keyhook offices, where Luke greets a blond woman dressed in a floral light coloured shirt. Modern office lounge with ‘Keyhook’ branding, people shaking hands and working on laptops. Glass meeting room with ‘BETTER.’ text on the wall, people in discussion.]

When we sat down with our advisor, we'd realised quite quickly that our sales had all grown organically. Connecting us with a training advisor, uh, specialising in sales has really helped us kinda shape our sales strategy and our sales roadmap.

Networking has just been absolutely amazing.

[Visual: Cut to a kitchen where a sauce of some kind if being poured into a container and dumplings placed in an oven below a shelf of sausage rolls.]

Have a massive pool of, uh, business owners to talk to almost every day. It's also helped me kind of stand back and, and look at the bigger picture, um, and really think about what. I wanna do moving forward.

Engage with the regional business partner network, even just for a discovery session.

[Visual: Camera pans through an office with people working. Luke’s voice continues.]

 ‘Cause you don't know what you don't know, so you don't know the problems that you have. You don't know the gaps that you've got within your business.

[Visual: Cuts to a listing on the Keyhook website]

Engaging with the business partner network is extremely valuable and it can't hurt. It'll take 30 minutes an hour out of your day.

[Visual: Cuts to Taz sitting in the restaurant in an interview seat.]

I would recommend any training to any hospitality business owner out there, especially with the free advisory through regional Business partner network.

[Visual: Cuts to Taz sitting in the green seated booth from before speaking with a woman who is gesturing and nodding.]

We get little bits of gold every time we speak to them, and we take that and every single time it seems to pay off, so it's been great.
