Ever been asked if you know a good ______ [fill in the blank]? Even if you've met someone who's an accountant, a copywriter, or perhaps a mechanic, you won’t know how good they are until you’ve tried what they’ve got to offer, or someone you trust tells you they’re good. TeamUp Tasters are here to make things easier for you. Offering other members of abTeamUp the chance to sample your service or product means that they can experience first hand how good you are and can feel much more confident about working with you, or recommending you to their contacts and their friends. And they'll be encouraged to provide feedback telling others about the great experience they've had with you. The higher rated you are, the more people will want to use your services or buy your products. You can try out other people’s services too. Get involved straight away at abteamup.com

Offering a Taster – Step 1
Step1: Get Listed
• All you have to do to get your Taster listed is
to fill in 3 fields on your TeamUp Taster
profile tab - your offer, a brief description
and any terms specific to the offer.
• A Taster might be a free half hour
consultation in person, by webcam or
phone, a chapter from your new book, a
small sample of the products you sell or
anything that you can come up with to show
people how good you really are - the more
creative the better!

Offering a Taster – Step 2
Step2: Be Tasty!
• As soon as you've added your Taster to your
profile it will appear on the TeamUp Tasters
directory. You'll then start to get requests
from other members who want to take up
your offer - maybe not lots of them at first,
but be patient - they will come!
• It’s up to you whether or not you choose to
provide your Taster to the person who’s
asked for it, but then why not? The more
people who experience your skills, the more
reviews you'll get and the more people will
be telling the world about you.

Step3: Get Referred
• So you've shared your skills with lots of your
fellow members. Even if you haven’t picked
up business every time, encourage them to
give something back by rating their
experience on your profile and spreading
the word about you. A great set of reviews
means that others will be encouraged to try
your Taster and very soon you'll have an
army of referrers telling their contacts how
good you are!
