Pros Connect Platform

A White Label Solution To Integrate Your Membership

Most national organizations are disconnected at the local level, having rudimentary upstream reporting and ownership of delivery requirements. Additionally, local chapters are disconnected from one another, limiting the power of the group to collaborate on new and innovative ideas, share business referrals and provide a platform for friendly competition. That competition among local chapters raises the bar for all chapters and members.

The ProsConnect platform is designed as a "white label" solution - meaning it is branded for your organization to match your corporate identity and online presence, so there is a seamless look and feel to your solution.

A Business Model That Understands Your Pain.
Our business model is different than others as well. We know your organization is probably starved for cash - and your members need to feel like you are giving them a good value and return on their membership investment. So we designed ProsConnect as a NO COST model for association - we do all the upfront work integrating your brand and customizing the modules to meet you needs. Then you provide your membership with a big value added solution that has a very low monthly cost (less than on lunch per month). When your membership exceeds our agreed upon goal, your organization begins to share in the revenue generated from the site. For association and organizations with more than 10,000 members, your revenue share can begin with as little as 30% participation.

Of course, it is in all members best interest if all members are strongly encouraged to participate; it increases their use of the system, and the value they derive from its use. Plus, obviously, the more members you have join, the more revenue you can make.

The Platform on which ProsConnect is developed is fairly simple.

• Empower national and international organizations and associations to drive information up from the local membership, providing various levels of reporting on the way.
• Provide real-time feedback mechanisms for all levels developing a competitive spirit for all.
• Develop a consistent brand message delivery system at all levels insuring brand messaging is consistent and correct.
• From local activities and events, to member-required action items like generating referrals, attending meetings, and so on, powerful reports and "idea collections" can be made, evaluated and used for future opportunities.
