Why Visit Cognates?
Cognates are teams of local business owners working collectively with the ethos ‘How can we help you?’
We meet online every fortnight to learn about each other’s businesses, share advice and support each other to succeed.
Our relaxed, friendly community exists to support each other in business.
Who is Cognates for?
Cognates is for business owners that would like to be surrounded by, and have the support of, other local like-minded professionals. Our ethos is ‘How can we help you?’ and every member will have a 121 with YOU, to understand how they can help you. Surprisingly, not every business joins to gain more leads and in fact some get more value from the support that they gain. Cognates is a positive, fun driven, supportive community.
If you miss being part of a supportive team, sometimes feel alone in business with no one to turn to for honest advice, or maybe you miss having that sounding board to bounce ideas around, then we are here to help.
Why Join Cognates Online?
QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
We believe that having quality connections where every member fully understands how we can help each business is more important than having a high number of connections. This is why we cap our groups.
UNMONITORED REFERRALS
We do not track our referrals, and this is our strongest and best feature. Instead, we focus on the true foundations of networking, which is building quality relationships. This also means that because we don’t track referrals, we aren’t protective over what leads we get. Thus, ensuring all members are free to help increase the exposure for each member as much as they like.
NO TRAFFIC LIGHT OR SCORING SYSTEMS
We all work together, as a team and nothing is forced. We all genuinely want to help each other and therefore there is no need to have point scoring systems.
ALWAYS VIRTUAL
This means that we are more easily accessible to all, and for those that are usually unable to give up a half day to attend a face to face, are now able to network their business.
