PeopleGrove guarantees:

Designed For More Meaningful Connections

Advanced Matching Algorithm

Who should I talk to? It's question #1. Users receive recommendations to connect with others who are both like-minded and likely to respond, based on their activity levels.

Steps to Grow Your Network

Reaching out can be intimidating. With best-practice, step-by-step guidance delivered in three simple steps, even the most novice networker can have the confidence of a pro.

Time-Delayed Automatic Greetings

And yet, sometimes fear gets the best of us. On LinkedIn, when a new user joins but doesn’t start a conversation with another user within their first 24 hours, does that new user receive a personalized welcome message directly from a community veteran? No? Well, they do on PeopleGrove.

Customizable Templates

They’ve worked up the courage to reach out. Now, what to say? Provide them with not just one, but up to three tailored templates to take out the guesswork of authoring.

Pro Tips

For both old and young, experienced and otherwise, taboos can often be our undoing. With PeopleGrove’s text-triggered tips, your users will ask good questions, present themselves professionally, keep messages to an appropriate length, and even better, reach networking success.
