Dear Nicky,
I've started using a new tool that I'm pretty excited about, and I think it would be a good fit for others in the network as well. Can I promote this? I don't have any financial stake in it, just want to share something that's working well for me.
Sharing in Sheridan
Dear Sheridan,
Great question! We have recently revamped our sponsorship program so that vendors have a consistent way to share their products and services via paid access to NPAworldwide members. There are sponsorship options for year-round promotion, event-only, and a handful of a la carte options as well. We're excited about the new program and the benefits that are available - AND we also have a referral program that rewards members for sharing this information with us. Members can receive up to USD $200 for their sponsor referrals. The full details of the referral program are available here, or you can just Refer a Sponsor here.
It's certainly OK for *you* to talk about third-party tools you are using or good experiences you are having. Members may not promote their own products and services without a sponsorship, and third parties also need to purchase a sponsorship in order to have promotional benefits within the network. This helps ensure that all sponsors and partners receive consistent benefits and also reduces the number of sales pitches that members receive.
Sponsors help keep meetings affordable for members and can also help you save time or money in your business. We're looking forward to rebuilding this valuable benefit and bringing more partners to NPAworldwide.
Thanks for writing!
Nicky
