Wait, what does PowerMatch do?
  
PowerMatch matches you up with professionals who want to network with you and would be good for you to network with! We schedule you with a small group of two other networkers to get together over lunch and network! (No, we are NOT a dating service, but we ARE a business matchmaking service!)



How much does it cost?

PowerMatch costs $30 per month (Just a buck a day!) which ensures you 2-3 awesome networking lunches per month. (Just imagine meeting 4-6 NEW  business people, in industries beneficial to yours, each month!) Psst...want an even better price on your membership? Check out our exclusive offer on hoodditt!

What kinds of professionals will I meet?

Generally, the professionals you meet through PowerMatch are excited about networking, meeting new people, and understand the importance of building strong business relationships. They are willing to add the right people to their own circle of contacts and make referrals when appropriate.

PowerMatch accepts professionals in all sorts of business categories and select individuals in transition, however, at this time, we DO NOT accept individuals who represent Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) companies.

How many professionals will I meet and network with each month?

At this time, we are setting up our members with 2-3 meetings per month, typically with 2 other professionals, for a total of 4-6 new professionals per month, minimum. If your schedule allows for more networking sessions, please let us know, and we will try to accomodate you!

Only 4 people? Couldn't I meet more people by going to a networking event?

Of course! But when it comes to building REAL business networking, PowerMatch believes in quality over quantity, and  meeting over lunch or coffee, in small groups, as opposed to a large, noisy room of many professionals, is a great way  to begin building a REAL, long-lasting business relationship.

Obviously, on occasion, you are not going to want to network further with some of the people you meet, nor will everyone you meet want to network with you (or maybe they will!), and that's OK! Our goal is to help you find professionals with whom you can form symbiotic business relationships!

When will I know who I am networking with?

Upon acceptance of your application, monthly payment set up and completion of the 15 minute intro phone call with one of PowerMatch's networking staff, you will receive your networking meeting schedule for the month as well as information about each of your networking  partners, within a few days. Thereafter, you will receive a schedule of networking sessions at the beginning of each month, for as long as you are a PowerMatch member.

Who pays for lunch/coffee?

Each networker is expected to pay for his or her own lunch/coffee costs.  (Although we do have members who generous pay for their networking partners' lunches - maybe you'll get lucky a few times!)

Why do I need to set up a phone conference with PowerMatch staff before getting down to business?

We want to speak with you to explain to you what  you can expect, as well as what is expected of you, as well as give you the opportunity to ask us your own questions! The better we get to know you, and your business, the better networking partners we can find for you. It is really only 15 minutes of your time - it will go by quickly - we promise!

What if I can't make it to a meeting that PowerMatch has set up for me?

Please let us know as soon as possible by emailing Sara@PowerMatchOnline.com  and let us know when you are available to reschedule. We will let your networking partners know, and try our best to reschedule you at a more convenient time.  While we would prefer that you keep your meeting, we understand that things come up occasionally, and with enough notice, we can usually fill your spot. Members who fail to show up to meetings without adequate advance notice of cancellation are not appreciated (and cause themselves to come across as unprofessional as well). In the event that a member does not show up to two meetings,without adequate notice of cancellation,  that member's membership will be subject to suspension.

How long should the networking lunch/coffee last?

Your lunch/coffee with your networking partners should ideally last between 45 and 60 minutes. Occasionally all members in attendance want to stay on longer, and that's OK.

Why can't I see the PowerMatch members and pick who I want to network with myself?

Our members' privacy is very important and we do not publish any of their information online or otherwise share their information with anyone. Because we base our matches based on networking potential, NOT sales potential, we feel it is best that the PowerMatch staff makes the matches, that way, no one feels as though they are going to a sales call, instead of a networking session.
