Core Concepts and Features to Know
Understanding the "Spaces" Structure
Circle communities are organized into Spaces. Spaces are dedicated areas for specific topics, discussions, resources, or events.
Complete Your Profile
Completing your profile with your name, company, role, and interests enables other members to connect with you. Custom profile fields may let you share social links or B2B specialties, which can lead to meaningful connections and collaborations.
Introduce Yourself in the "Introduce Yourself" Space
There's a dedicated introduction space. Share who you are, your B2B sales focus, and what you hope to gain from the community. It's a great way to break the ice and get noticed.
Learn the Community Guidelines and Norms
Don't try to sell to the other members (although someone may think your product is valuable, and it is okay if they reach out to you for help). Treat everyone as if your mother or child were reading your posts. In other words, be kind, be helpful, and don't hesitate to ask for help.
Engage with Posts and Content
You can create, comment on, and react to posts using text, images, videos, polls, etc. Use the intuitive editor (just hit "/" for formatting options) to share insights, ask questions, or contribute resources.
Participate in Events and Live Streams
We host live events, webinars, and workshops directly within the platform. RSVP to sessions relevant to your B2B sales interests for real-time learning and connection.
Explore Gamification and Badges
We use a 9-level gamification system. Every like you earn from your posts or comments helps you level up. Reach Level 2, and you'll receive a free digital copy of Sean's book, Eliminate Your Competition. Other rewards will be available for the higher levels. The Leaderboard link is located at the top of the site.
Use Direct Messaging and the Member Directory
Connect privately with other members using Circle's messaging tools. The directory helps you find people by expertise, company, or interests.
Take Advantage of Resources and Automation
Look for spaces with templates, downloads, and guides. Automated workflows may also send you reminders, checklists, or tasks; these are built to keep you engaged and progressing.
