Meet the right business contacts, not just the random ones.
Circle suggests relevant contacts every week and tells you why. You see collaboration requests from other entrepreneurs, show your own offer, and find events where you meet in person.
After you log in, Circle opens directly. The purpose of your circle and the first people are the first step.

Why
Looking for copywriters for client projects, you offer copy and concept
Collaboration request
Partner for a website relaunch
Events
Circle meetup on Thursday
Introduction suggested
Simplified sample view with made-up data.
Why change anything
You need a partner for the project, and only three names come to mind.
You only find out who might fit your plan when you happen to run into each other.
Other entrepreneurs are looking for exactly what you offer, but you don't hear about it.
After an event you're left with a business card, but no reason to get back in touch.
Until now
Ask around your own circle for who knows someone
Wait for referrals
Hope to catch the right people at events
Collaborations only with people you already know

Every week, Circle suggests relevant contacts, each with a reason.
Collaborations that become visible
You learn who is looking for support right now and can bring your offer in where it's needed.
A dedicated overview shows collaboration requests and answers where you can help.
Targeted instead of random
When you need help with a goal, you search in a targeted way instead of asking around your whole circle of acquaintances.
A member directory shows who in Circle can help you with your goal.

Before you start.
What's the difference from an address book?
Circle doesn't just show who you know, it suggests who you should get to know, and tells you why. Collaboration requests and events come on top of that.
How do I find the right collaboration partners?
Through the week's suggestions, through the member directory, and through collaboration requests that other members post.
Can I post a collaboration request myself?
Collaboration requests are a core part of Circle. You'll see how to create your own request and who sees it in the app.
Are there in-person events?
Yes. A dedicated overview shows where you can meet the Circle in person and who's there. You'll see which events are coming up in the app.
How do the week's suggestions come about?
Circle suggests relevant contacts and gives a reason for each. You'll see what the suggestions are based on in the app.
What happens when I click “Start partner network”?
You’ll go to the Peak One login. The “Circle” selection and the destination page are passed along in the link. After you log in, you open this app directly. One account works for all Peak One apps.
What does Circle cost?
Features and usage limits depend on your plan. You'll find the overview on the Pricing page. Clicking “Start partner network” does not start a paid subscription.
This week, get to know someone you'd be a good fit to work with.
Set the purpose of your circle, add the first people, and see who Circle suggests to you.
