2. Introduction:
If you work in or supply services to any of the following industries then The Skills Exchange
can help your business save time on projects and grow more painlessly:
Automotive, banking, coaching, education, engineering, energy, oil and gas, fast-moving
consumer goods (FMCG), financial, government, healthcare, insurance, manufacturing, media
(TV & film), online real estate, retail, technology, telecommunications, training, travel.
All of these industries have the following in common:
• They frequently require resources for quick delivery of a specific task
• Many of them also run short and long term projects
• None of them want to get into protracted negotiations regarding project specifics
• They all want a platform that extends their reach
How Does The Skills Exchange Expedite The Project Process:
The following elements of The Skills Exchange Network function in harmony to help you save
time and stress on any project:
Forum:
Our forum is responsive which means if you are running a project, tasked with securing
resources or indeed just looking for an individual to create a website, graphic or manage a
marketing campaign you can post the brief here and get on with your business.
Profiles:
Our profiles area is designed for service users and suppliers equally. This area of the website is
also optimised for Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs) and uses a unique tagging system that
ensures that if you use either Google or our own search system you are assured to find
resource profiles for the task in hand.
Also, if required (for Google Authorship) we can provide our subscribers with a domain specific
mail address.
Hosted Hangouts:
The above elements are reactive. They help you save time and stress on your project
resourcing. Once you are ready to engage with suppliers you simply hit the “Request Hangout”
button and we deal with the rest.
• We schedule the hangout
• We invite all prospective suppliers
◦ Unless you specifically choose certain suppliers
• An invite is also sent to yourself of-course
You then simply join in on the Hangout at the appointed time and discuss the project in more
detail with the prospective suppliers.

3. What Makes Skills Exchange Network Different?
No other platform available provides all these facilities in one easy to manage interface with
ongoing technical support to help you maintain focus on the things that are important.
The system is constantly being developed to provide the best possible user experience and
acts as a virtual assistant through the seamless integration of project idea through to
discussion and then on to direct engagement through the Hosted Hangouts.
We take the stress out of your projects, it's that simple. We do not allow suppliers to get into
bidding wars or buyers to place onerous requests upon them and the at the final engagement
process we provide support and advice on a technical level so all you have to focus on is
getting the right resource for the task in hand or the project in question.
The Skills Exchange Network As a Revenue Generator:
We have a number of affiliate tiers available: Standard, Enhanced and Gold. Each come with
their own requirements paying between 20% and 75% of ongoing revenue for the life of the
client and we also employ a pricing model that ensures where subscribers do not come directly
from your network (or where their cookie has expired) that you still receive your revenue
share.
