Onboarding guide

Welcome new
members clearly.

Use this guide when inviting someone to GOUP or requesting access to a local city group. Good introductions help members understand who is joining, why they are a fit, and how to collaborate.

1

Introduce every invite

Mention who referred them, add a short introduction, and include their LinkedIn profile when available.

2

Use your full name

Update your WhatsApp name to your full name so members can recognize you across chats and events.

3

Match your profile photo

If you are comfortable, use the same photo as your LinkedIn profile to make recognition easier.

4

Add a helpful group tag

Add your LinkedIn handle and country as your group tag. Example: @johndoe - USA.

Three streams, cleanly ranked.
