The question everyone asks first, so here's the answer before you talk to anyone. Three years, your numbers, and an honest look at the hours as well as the money.
Start with the defaults — they're a real network's first three years — then change anything to match yours. Nothing is sent anywhere; this runs in your browser.
Sponsor numbers are assumed to grow with your membership. Meeting income counts every exhibitor space you fill, plus one meeting sponsor where you charge for one.
Four lines, and there is nothing else. No setup fee, no minimum term, no charge for anything you haven't used.
Every feature, unlimited members, your own website and domain. Counted daily with a minimum of 50 members, so the smallest network pays £365 a year. Nothing at all if our sponsors are funding it.
Only for companies listed in the directory. Forum sponsorship, home page logos, exhibitor listings and every other placement are included at no extra cost.
Membership and sponsor renewals, as native PDFs or pushed straight into Xero. Only charged if you use it.
If you would rather not do the outreach yourself. Most networks don't need this — the free model exists precisely so you don't have to sell anything.
Billed termly in arrears. There is nothing to pay before you start, and nothing to pay if you stop. Neil — the Virtual Learning Zone (2p per member/day) is left off until it has content. Say if you want it listed as coming.
Not everything a network needs is a website. If you want a hand with the parts that make you look like a real organisation, ask — these aren't packaged products, just things we've done for other networks.
Setting up a proper email environment on your own domain, including licences if you need them.
A landline that goes to answerphone, so there's a number on your letterhead that isn't someone's mobile.
Outreach, negotiation and renewal handled for you at £60 a sponsor, if you'd rather spend the time elsewhere.
