You Spoke We Listened

One of the great things about operating an independant business networking organisation like proNet is that we don’t have to answer to a larger brand or company.

So when it comes to listening to what our members want, what they feel isn’t working and what they feel is; then we’re ideally placed to make the appropriate changes for the benefit of our everyone without having to cow-tow to a tiered management structure.

After all, proNet is a networking group, run by its members for the benefit of its members.

Rolling Out the Changes

So having taken on board your requests we’re now in a position to roll out some positve changes on how proNet operates. Part of our evolution if you like.

Success Slips

Whilst business is being passed around the table at proNet’s meetings, it’s not visibly apparent to other members and visitors at our group meetings. Making sure transactions are more visible to people would illustrate more clearly, the benefits of joining proNet and emphasise the value of being a proNet member.

Therefore it has been decided to introduce a referral or lead slip passing type of system into our meeting formats. This will be called the “Success Exchange” and will use formal slips of paper, called “Success Slips” to demonstrate the passing of business and ideas between members. proNet’s ethos is not to put pressure on our members to perform and as such, members will not be targeted or pressurised to bring leads or referrals in case you are worrying.

Visitor Hosts

The voluntary position of Visitor Host will be appointed within each group. The person working in this role will be tasked with making sure visitors to our meetings are made to feel welcome. They will also be responsible for following up by telephone, visitors to each meeting in order to ascertain feedback and their thoughts on re-attending or joining as a member.

Single Category

The number of business types allowed within each group will be reduced from two down to one. This gives each business type exclusivity within a group and further promotes a sense of ‘belonging’ amongst our members.

Nomadic Membership

A member that is based at one group, may continue to attend meetings at other proNet groups for a £10 on the door fee. Such attendance must be pre booked through this website or by email to membership@joinpronet.com However the business type of the visiting member to a group must not conflict with that of an existing member’s of the group they intend to visit.

Member Offers

Members will be asked if they want to provide a special or exclusive offer to other members of proNet. This could be in the form of a discount on services or a free consultation etc. Such offers will be presented to new members in the form of an “offer sheet” enclosed with their acceptance letter and will be announced within the AOB section of proNet’s meetings on a regular basis.

Evolve

proNet will continue to revise how it runs its meetings and is always open to suggestion as it evolves. It is hoped that these modifications will help enhance our meetings even further and stimulate new member recruitment.
