If the idea of ‘bounce’ is to offload ideas whatever shape or form, then here goes:

In my opinion what is currently the number 1 differentiator between TPC and LinkedIn?

Personal service

Clearly TPC is just setting out and this will no doubt change over time to become depersonalised. However, this to me is a premium offering.

I may be wrong, but you will never have the same experience of meeting new contacts on Ln.

Stay with me on this. In my mind I’m thinking of walking into a club where your PC heroes are framed in platinum on the wall as you walk down to a private room. You are greeted by the host who welcomes you to a select room and makes sufficient intros to get people talking. There is a sense you are not purely a number. I believe people will pay a premium for this. It doesn’t have to necessarily be exclusive. Translate this online.

Wall of Fame- these are people we can look up to and aspire to be. Shows how they have adjusted to have a Portfolio career. It gives an instant picture of why you are here and your purpose.

Special invite evenings to get people talking…

guest speaker events with break out rooms….

evening pods- perhaps sign up to a monthly meetup, but within the TPC online environment. Perhaps to track each others progress; to keep those connections going. This is the glue that will keep people within TPC. Few will be organised enough to meet, but if it’s in the diary it forces the issues. The pods are like tables. You can select and book who you sit with in the pod (break out room)…

Perhaps a platinum card membership…

I will continue as and when the ideas flow just to post them up. They will be raw. If this is not an appropriate use of bounce please say…
