Frequently asked questions

 

What is a Refer-On Hub?

We have meetings designed to help build better businesses, by help support and encouragement. The collective noun for that collection of people and the venue, which houses those meetings is a Hub. It is where you find Shared Learning.

top
Is it the person or the company membership?

For companies and businesses with a turnover of less than £2,500,000 the company joins. This allows 2 members from one company to network on different days. If you want both members to regularly network on the same day (say a Friday) then that would mean two memberships.

top
Do I have to stand and present to the Hub?

We don’t have rules that say you “must” present. If you feel uncomfortable our managers and experienced members will happily support you through the process of gaining confidence. They will also help you craft 60 second presentations.

top
Can you help me get my point across to the Hub?

Absolutely. Part of membership is continual education and help with networking skills.

top
What happens if I cannot attend every week?

It will be unfortunate and you will not get the best from Refer-On.

top
Where can I find a Hub?

Check out “Find a Hub” on the homepage. If there is not a suitable location. Send a message through the site.

top
Can I belong to another Networking organisation?

Yes, we encourage networking in all it’s forms.

top
What happens if a similar business sector wants to join?

We try and run our Hubs in areal world situation. Where in the real world can you lock out competition, except by offering peerless service and great prices? Very often we find that similar business sectors can help each other and create alliances. What a huge advantage that is!

top
What happens if I get a rush job?

Networking should be an important part of your marketing plan. We recommend that you “lock down” the time spent for networking. If it is imperative that you miss a meeting then please let the Hub manager know.

top
What is the dress Code?

Just dress as you would for your business. We suggest you “dress up” rather than “dress down”

top
As a New Member what are the rules I abide by?

Please cherish the venue and it’s staff. Let the Hub manager know if you cannot attend a meeting. Do as you would be done by!

top

Because we build better businesses by help, support and encouragement.
