Verified intent only
No bulk number sharing. Every contact unlock is one customer with one verified phone number. Quality over volume.
WhatsApp-first
Customers receive contacts, coupons, and event tickets on WhatsApp. Members receive leads and reminders the same way. No app required.
Local communities
Members are grouped into city-level communities. Structured meetings, referrals, awards, and B2B meetings turn neighbours into business partners.
Inside a meeting
Anatomy of a community meeting
90 minutes, same structure every week. The agenda is the product - structure is what turns a breakfast into a pipeline.
Open networking
Chai, breakfast, and unstructured conversation. Arrive early - the best B2B meetings get booked here.
President's welcome
Community announcements, visitor introductions, and last week's referral numbers read out loud. What gets measured gets done.
Education slot
A 10-minute talk by the Education Coordinator or a guest - pitching, follow-up discipline, pricing, digital presence. Members teach members.
60-second pitches
Every member stands and delivers their weekly pitch: who they are, what they sell, and - most importantly - what a good referral looks like this week.
Member spotlight
One member gets 8 minutes to present their business in depth. Over a year, you'll understand every member's business well enough to sell it for them.
Referrals & testimonials
The heart of the meeting. Members pass written referrals, log them in the platform, and give public testimonials for work delivered. Every pass is tracked.
Close & B2B meetings
Quick wins recap, next week's spotlight announced, and members pair off to schedule B2B meetings through the in-platform scheduler.
Attendance is tracked with QR check-in (PALM: Present · Absent · Late · Medical) - because consistency is what makes the referral economy work.
The referral lifecycle
How a referral travels through the community
Every referral is logged, tracked, and closed inside the platform - so giving is visible, follow-up is accountable, and closed business is celebrated.
01
Hear it
A member hears a need - a colleague mentions they need a CA, a customer asks for a caterer. Because of weekly pitches, the member knows exactly who in the community fits.
02
Pass it
The member logs the referral in the platform with the prospect's details and context, and makes the warm intro - usually a WhatsApp message connecting both sides.
03
Work it
The receiving member follows up within 24 hours. The referral's status is tracked: contacted, in discussion, closed, or lost - visible to both giver and receiver.
04
Close it
When business closes, the receiving member records the thank-you note and the closed value. The community's total closed business is celebrated monthly.
05
Return it
Grow by giving. The member who received looks for a referral to give back - not as a debt, but as a habit. The reciprocity score keeps the loop honest.
New member journey
Your first 90 days as a member
Nobody joins a community knowing how to network. That's why every new member gets a mentor and a 30/60/90-day checklist.
Go live
Profile, GSTIN, and KYC verified; your listing is live in your category and city. You're announced to the community and paired with a mentor.
Learn the room
Attend your first meetings, deliver your first 60-second pitches, and complete B2B meetings with at least five members. Your mentor walks you through the referral etiquette.
Find your power team
Identify the complementary businesses around your category and form or join a power team. Pass your first referrals - givers get noticed fast.
Build the rhythm
By now you have a weekly pitch routine, a B2B meeting cadence, and your first received referrals. Your mentor signs off the 90-day checklist and you're a full member of the community.
