Since the initial mail and post was published about Bruin Pages, we have received many mails from people requesting how exactly the registration process is going to work, so I have decided to do another article addressing some of those queries directly.
Bruin Pages is currently live as far as registrations are concerned but will be live and available to the public by next week.
Currently, you are allowed to update and complete the registration process and once you have done this, a mail will be sent to you informing you of the bank account details where the money should be transferred. Once payment has been made, your details will be displayed to all.
VALUE ADDED SERVICES (as a registered member)
Business of the week
We will randomly select one of the higher rated businesses each week and do a full profile of this company and its owners. The article will be sent out in the newsletter and will be published on the home page of the website as well. This way we will be encouraging companies listed to provide excellent service, as this is a great incentive to do well.
Networking meetings
All of the companies listed in the database will be invited to networking meetings on a bi-monthly basis. The meetings could take the form of a number of different things including, but not limited to formal dinners. We will cover as many geographical regions across the country as possible, depending on where the density of our members using this service is. Here we will invite high profile, successful business people from within our communities as guest speakers, to discuss a number of different issues around doing business. This will also be the perfect networking opportunity for members to interact with each other and hopefully exchange and facilitate new business with each other. It will also be the ideal vehicle for our invited guest speakers to search for new suppliers through our members.
VALUE ADDED SERVICES (as a user)
Rating of businesses
You will have the opportunity to rate some of the businesses that you have used through this service. This is a way of ensuring that service levels are of the highest quality and maintained. You will also have the opportunity to serve as a reference for businesses listed on the site that you have used.
There is NO reason why you should not be listed in this revolutionary, new directory aimed at uplifting our communities. As we grow and start making profits, money will be used for bursaries and for holding discussions at schools to educate our children about the value of business and to create an entrepreneurial spirit among our future leaders.
Regardless of the nature of your business, there is no reason for you not to advertise.
