A powerful network leads to business success by being your best source of new customers via word-of-mouth referrals.  Your network is also the best way to make great business decisions by being able to talk with peers who have already solved similar challenges.
It is widely known that people prefer to do business with those they Know, Like & Trust - and this is the ultimate goal for each relationship within our networks.

As you will see the Alignable platform and our plans are designed to support you at each stage of establishing and building relationships

Nurture Your Network

Nurturing your current network is crucial for several reasons, especially when it comes to growing your business:

  • Send and Receive messages from anyone: Being able to send and receive messages freely allows for direct, one-on-one communication with other members. This is crucial for building strong, personalized connections, addressing specific queries, collaborating on projects, and maintaining relationships. Personalized communication helps reinforce existing connections and can lead to new business opportunities.
  • Join groups: Joining various groups within Alignable exposes you to different communities and niches, allowing you to meet professionals who share similar interests or industry ties. This not only helps in expanding your network but also provides a platform to remain visible and engage with others interested in similar business topics or challenges, fostering stronger relationships over common goals or interests.
  • Post in groups: Regularly posting in groups can demonstrate your expertise, share valuable insights, and keep your network informed about your business activities or industry developments. It positions you as an active member and a thought leader, which makes you more memorable and trustworthy to your connections, increasing the likelihood they'll reach out for collaboration or advice.
  • Comment in your groups: Engaging with posts by commenting in groups allows you to participate in ongoing conversations, offer support, ask questions, or provide feedback. This interaction helps keep you on the radar of other members in your network as someone involved and attentive, strengthening relationships and keeping communication lines open.
  • Send and Receive recommendations from anyone: Recommendations are like testimonials that can verify your credibility and quality of service. Sending them shows that you value others' work, which can strengthen business relationships. Receiving them enhances your reputation and trustworthiness in the network, encouraging others to engage with you.
  • Event Participation: Actively participating in events helps you meet other Alignable members face-to-face or virtually, which can significantly deepen your relationships compared to online-only interaction. It provides opportunities to learn, share experiences, and explore collaboration opportunities in a more informal and engaging setting.
  • Attend All events: These large-scale events bring together a diverse range of professionals and businesses, expanding your exposure to new contacts within your industry and beyond. Attendance can significantly enhance your visibility and present numerous opportunities for networking and forming meaningful, long-lasting business relationships.
  • Attend Smart Connectsm: Smart Connect events often focus on structured networking that matches you with individuals who align with your business interests or needs. This targeted approach can streamline the process of finding valuable connections and making the most out of networking efforts by connecting you with potential collaborators or clients who are relevant to your goals.

Ultimately, nurturing your network isn't just about maintaining relationships; it's about fostering a community that can mutually benefit each party involved. This groundwork can significantly impact your business's ability to adapt, grow, and succeed over time.
