FAQs
Explore our FAQ section to find answers to common questions we are asked about our online business networking platform.
What is FIVE55 ONLINE?
FIVE55 ONLINE is probably the most successful online business networking group around right now.
We are an “open-category” business networking group with the express objective of providing opportunities for like-minded business people to collaborate and thrive in their respective markets through giving and receiving business referrals.
FIVE55 ONLINE members are based across the UK so you will be able to meet business people from all over as well as some who are more local to you.
We meet online every Tuesday evening with meetings getting underway at 5.55 pm – hence the name FIVE55 ONLINE.
How can I join FIVE55 ONLINE?
We think who you are and the type of person you are is far more important than what you do for a living or the size of your business so FIVE55 ONLINE membership is by invitation only.
We always suggest you come along to one of our meetings as a visitor first to see if FIVE55 ONLINE is a good fit for you (and we can assess the same thing).
If you think you might like to join then let us know and one of our hosts will be able to explain potential membership.
What are the benefits of membership?
FIVE55 ONLINE aims to help you build strong long-lasting professional business relationships with other Business Owners and Directors of small businesses just like you.
We have four online meetings a month (five on longer months) which take place every Tuesday from 5.55 pm to 7.15 pm (UK). Our members tell us that weekly meetings mean the business relationships grow far quicker and there are also more opportunities for the all-important 121 meetings than monthly meetings.
Our monthly “members-only” training workshops focus on how to get the most from your networking time and effort. We believe these “Unleash the Power of Networking” sessions are a vital part of what makes FIVE55 ONLINE such a success.
Members are encouraged to use one another’s services rather than go outside the group and they often discount on services provided to one another.
In addition, FIVE55 ONLINE has a “Collaboration Partnership” agreement with several other networking groups which means you can attend their meetings for free for as long as you remain a member.
Do I need to attend every FIVE55 ONLINE meeting?
FIVE55 ONLINE does not have a mandatory “Must Attend” policy. Most of the members attend two or three meetings a month.
We would say, however, that the more meetings you attend the quicker everyone will get to know you and your business so maybe plan on attending more meetings than you miss.
How much does it cost to join?
Membership is £30 a month. We like to keep things simple so there are no sign-on fees and no contractual minimum-term commitment to worry about.
You pay on a month-by-month basis and you are free to leave at any time if membership isn’t working out for you.
How long will it take to get business from the group?
The FIVE55 ONLINE mantra is “TRUST TAKES TIME” and building that trust is down to individual members and how they approach one another.
We genuinely believe that the more you offer to help and support each other the more everyone will get back in return.
If pushed for a timescale then we would suggest six months as the average between joining and seeing results (especially if you take part in the free monthly “members-only” networking workshops).
What can FIVE55 ONLINE do for my business?
FIVE55 ONLINE is a highly successful business networking group that has perfected online networking to ensure you get the very best from the time and effort you invest in attending meetings.
Online networking is an extremely effective “route to market” for both new-start businesses as well as well-established businesses looking for growth without having to spend a small fortune on advertising and marketing campaigns.
Many people feel FIVE55 ONLINE networking saves them time and money because there is no travel time, travel cost, or disruption involved. All you need to take part is a laptop and an internet connection.
FIVE55 ONLINE has higher than average attendee numbers every week (between 25 and 35) and although it’s not always about the size of the meetings, you would probably say the number of people taking part does have some importance when it comes to growing your connections.
We would all agree that business networking should be fairly simple. However, not everyone knows how to network effectively to get a good enough ROI.
As a member, you will have access to free monthly “member-only” networking workshops which will give you valuable insights and ideas to make all your networking efforts (not just FIVE55 ONLINE) more successful.
