What is "Insider Connections"

Insider Connections is a revolutionary new electronic marketplace where people can exchange introductions, referrals, information as well as barter business favors. If you think of business connections as "currency" then Insider Connections is the first market place in the world for the exchange of that "currency". We believe that the highly competitive nature of today's economy has rendered resumes and cold calls all but useless. The only effective way to land a job or secure a new business account is to know someone at the organization you're targeting.

How does Insider Connections work

Insider Connections is based upon the fact that the most substantial business and hiring is done by people who have connections. We invented Insider Connections to make connections possible for almost everyone. Here's how it works. In order to get help you must offer help. In exchange for the right to become a member of Insider Connections and get an introduction to one of our members you agree to provide a referral, introduction, information or assistance to someone hoping to obtain a job or do business with your employer or another company you have contacts at

What exactly does providing a referral or introduction mean

It means:
1] Answering another members questions
2] Directing them to the proper people
3] Giving them advice
4] Most importantly it means offering them as much help and advice as you'd like to be offered by another member

Why would you provide introductions, referrals or information to complete strangers

Because it will benefit you to do so. Every time you assist someone you develop a connection which can benefit you in the future. You also earn "credit" from our system which entitles you to contact someone else. In the past the amount of networking one individual could accomplish was fairly limited by practical limitations like time, distance, geography and resources. The beauty and uniqueness of our technology and business model [ Patent Pending ] is that it creates a global marketplace which treats connections like "currency". Insider Connections allows our members to exchange that "currency" with other members in companies and organizations they might never be able to contact without our marketplace.

Who are the Insider Contacts that become members of Insider Connections

They are people from all industries, professions and walks of life. Individuals with varying needs, interests, job titles, experiences and positions. Some are just beginning their careers while others are very well established and have considerable influence. The important thing to remember is that Insider Connections is a marketplace which changes and grows daily so it's important to visit often.

How much does it cost to join Insider Connections

What if I don't have any contacts? How can I become a member if I have no contacts to offer anyone else?

Why would I use Insider Connections

The wealthy and influential have always understood the importance of making personal contacts in business. Insider Connections is the first service in history to make it possible for people with limited personal contacts to develop them quickly and efficiently. You can send out hundreds of resumes and make endless cold calls over the next year or you can do what the smart money has always done...you can develop insider connections.

How do I contact someone who works at a company I'd be interested in working at or doing business with

Once you join our service you can select a member from our directory and then contact them by email. Further communication between you is determined by the person you contacted. They can continue to chat with you by email or if they choose to do so they can give you their phone number or meet with you in person. Just as in the real world not every member will be able to help you or do business with you however our membership roster grows and changes daily so it's important to visit Insider Connections often

How many people can I contact once I become a member

Each member gets one free "introduction credit" upon joining. This allows you to contact only one other member. It also obligates you to make yourself available by email to at least one member. You can contact a second person if you replenish your "introduction credit" by helping a second person. Every time you help someone you earn the right to contact another individual for free. For those people with serious networking needs we offer a VIP MEMBERSHIP subscription for $5 per month which provides you with unlimited access to our list of Insiders.

What if I contact someone with the one "introduction credit" I earn after joining and then refuse to help anyone

Each member has a "help" rating assigned to them by our system. The more people you help the higher your rating becomes. The less people you help the lower your rating. Refusing to help people on an ongoing basis may cause others to be reluctant to help you.

What if I'd like to speak to more than one member but can't because no one has approached me for assistance and, as a result, I haven't been able to earn any more credit

If you haven't been able to earn more free credit by helping others because no one has contacted you then you can purchase a VIP MEMBERSHIP subscription for $5 per month which provides you with unlimited access to our list of Insiders.

What is the Referral ATM

The Referral ATM is where you go to
1] Check to see how many contact credits you have earned. Each contact credit allows you to contact another member for free. You receive one free credit when you join and you receive another one each time you assist another member
2] Upgrade to a VIP MEMBERSHIP so you can make nearly unlimited contacts for $5 per month

What about spamming

Absolutely no spamming is permitted. If you're caught spamming our members your account will be terminated and we may initiate legal action against you.

What's the best way to use Insider Connections

Think of Insider Connections as a marketplace that's open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Only instead of exchanging goods the people here come to exchange introductions, referrals, information and barter business favors. Remember, one connection is worth a 1000 resumes or cold calls and that's how you should look at it.

When you contact someone by email put the phrase Insider Connections on your subject line so they know it's coming from another member. To get the most benefit from Insider Connections you have to visit often as our membership changes daily. Be helpful, civil, professional and courteous.
