 What is PRC? |
| PRC is a group of business professionals committed to providing a wide range of services on a Business to Business or Business to Consumer basis. |
| |
| How can I benefit from PRC membership? |
| Fellow members carry your business card and when they come across an opportunity for business, they can present your business card on your behalf and recommend you for that business. The Referral is passed to you so you can follow up on it. In a way, being a PRC member is like having a team of sales people working on your behalf. |
| |
| How can I contribute to PRC? |
| Every day, we all encounter business opportunities which may not be for us but if somebody in our PRC group can provide that service, there may be a golden opportunity to give them a really good business referral. As in every walk of life, the more we give, the more we get. |
| |
| How do I inform members about my services or products? |
|
The first 15 minutes of every meeting is for networking and having tea/coffee. This time can be used to get to know other members before the formal meeting starts. During the formal part of the meeting, all members give a brief 60 seconds introduction to their business, services and also outline the kinds of business or referral they are looking for. On a regular basis, all members also get an opportunity to give a more detailed 5 minute presentation followed by a question and answer session designed to make other members fully aware of what you do and where they might be able to assist you with quality business referrals. |
| |
| What about Membership Fees? |
|
There is a once off fee of €150 to join PRC. This is NO ANNUAL FEE. After the first month, members pay a small contribution (currently €40) towards the cost of running the group, maintaining this web site, providing the tea, coffee etc. |
| |
| Can anyone join? |
|
Yes! As long as you are a legitimate, reputable business person who can provide a high quality and professional service and as long as your main area of business is not already represented in the group. To avoid any conflict of interest, only one person from a profession or trade can be a member at any one time. |
| |
| What if I can't attend a meeting? |
|
Members are allowed to send a substitute in their place. If you don't have anyone to send, you can be excused from a meeting for a legitimate reason. For example, if you are away on vacation, for business or family illness, that is more than acceptable. However, as the success of the group depends on all members making a contribution, regular attendance is expected. For that reason, if a member misses 3 meetings in 2 months, without being excused, their continued membership can be questioned. If this arises, the Chairman and Secretary will make a final decision. |
| |
| Can I visit a meeting? |
|
Yes! In fact we encourage potential members to visit up to 2 meetings as a Visitor before making a final decision about joining. |
