Partnering with Skillfair
Professional institutions and associations face many challenges in supporting their growing communities of consultants and independent services providers. As more and more people choose this way of working, they turn naturally to their membership organisations for help and support.
Professional development and networking offer ways of providing this support. However, consultants often need and want more direct support in commercial areas which may conflict with the aims of the institution or association and its obligations to the wider member community.
Partnering with Skillfair allows your organisation to provide your independent practitioner community with a simple and effective business development and commercial support service without the need for investment in expensive operational changes or IT developments, or compromising the educational, charitable and other principles that are at the core of your commitment to all your members.
At the heart of the Skillfair service is the on-line delivery of business and technical consultancy leads to each of your members who take up the service. They make the decision about whether to activate the lead and negotiate their own arrangements with the client. In addition we provide business information and support that helps members with the commercial development and management of their businesses.
The Skillfair service enables your organisation to respond positively to these important needs of your consultant and practitioner member community. It also sits comfortably with your wider objectives.
In addition, Skillfair is a membership organisation in its own right so we bring a unique understanding of member expectations and an approach to responding to members that goes beyond just the delivery of the service.
Every day, the Skillfair service would drop relevant business leads into your members' email in-boxes including enquiries from your own help desk or from your corporate members alongside public tenders, joint bid requests and associate opportunities from other independent practitioners.
All that each of your members has to do is tell us about their skills so we can send them the leads that match their individual profiles.
Depending on your requirements we can offer -
Option 1: Skillfair branded service as a member benefit accessible through your website with membership of your organisation highlighted in our directory.
Option 2: White label fully managed service providing an exclusive offering to your members with your organisation's branding throughout.
