CAPLO: Linked Online

For frustrated business owners who would love to meet the people they see on social channels and actually network “in-person”. Book yourself and those you wish to invite on group video calls where each person briefly outlines what they do.

A simple ice-breaking structure which gets you on the radar of people who could become your next customer.

It’s a process which begins with familiarity. Gentle, light-humoured and relaxed events. Attend more frequently and even these brief “get to know each other” events can build into trust.

If you like, opt-in to the private 1-2-1 video meeting process. Chaperoned by a review system, each participant is asked to allow each other an equal amount of time to speak.

And pushy sales techniques are also discouraged. You anonymously rate each other on adherence to these guidelines to produce your 1-2-1 rating.

That’s updated after each set of 5 meetings.

Want to get known even more? Create a community special offer. You choose – perhaps a freebie sample of what you do.

This can help you get positively reviewed in-app and build your reputation.

Or maybe create a time-limited discount, or offer a value-added extra only members of this community can take advantage of.

Build your own reputation with 1-2-1 reviews, client reviews and make sure you complete your profile with details of your profession and any keywords people may search for.

Use our training videos to learn good online networking etiquette both within the community, and outside of it – for example when inviting guests to group meetings.

It’s not a sales-focused community. It’s about a journey of creating FAMILIARITY, building TRUST and ultimately winning SALES through good networking etiquette.
