Business Networking and Mentoring¶

Enhance your member engagement with the Potentiality Business Networking Hub.

See at a glance which jobs/industries your online community has chosen to pursue.

Actively encourage members to support one another's personal and professional development by sharing their own knowledge, expertise and experience through mentoring, work placements and career talks.

Your members will gain increased professional exposure and an invaluable networking experience that meaningfully engages them to ensure that they keep coming back to your platform.

The rotating cards offer a dynamic addition to your main page, and require no extra work from you, as information automatically feeds in from your Community Members’ entries. This is a valued feature for Communities who are interested in promoting a more professional/networking angle.

It’s important to keep in mind the value of the virtual real estate space on your Online Community. This can be a great resource for organising sponsorship, helping with Community functions and annual fees.

Tips for using your virtual real estate space:

• Browse your Business Directory entries every few months to see if there are any suitable candidates to sponsor your Online Community.
• Use one of your panels to promote your virtual real estate.
• Send out an email to those listed in your Business Directory prior to the launch of the tipping competition (Australasian clients only).

Please see an example of the business networking page below.

All business cards are populated using the information inputted into the business networking tab within user profiles (if your member has chosen to select the 'I would like my business details to be included in the online community networking hub' toggle, highlighted below:

NOTE: The tabs found on the left-hand side of the screen are customisable therefore the Business Directory tab may have a different name e.g. Networking, Business Hub etc.

Mentoring Process¶

Please see below for further details on how the mentoring process works.

• Members who would like to offer their mentoring service will navigate to the Business Directory Hub area of your site > Select the 'Volunteer as a mentor' button.

• A screen similar to the one below will display. By default, all mentoring types will appear underneath the question 'What type of mentoring would you consider:' However members can de-select any of the mentoring types that they would prefer not to do by clicking on the small grey across that appears on the left hand side of each option.
