Chapter system
A monthly traffic-light update, delivered to every member
Built for business-network chapters that use PALMS reports. Upload the monthly reports; every member gets their own score and exactly what it would take to reach the next light. Announcements and event sign-ups can be added as the chapter needs them.
What the leadership team does by hand every month
- Working out every member's score from the PALMS report
- Building the reminder list in a spreadsheet
- Sending messages one by one on WhatsApp
- Repeating the same training announcements every week
- Taking event sign-ups on a form and matching payments by hand
What the system does
- 01 Core Available now
Monthly traffic-light update
Each member gets their own message: current score and light, the score in each category, and advice they can act on — such as how many more visitors add 5 points.
- 02 Add-on Coming soon
Chapter announcements — written by you
The leadership team writes an announcement and sends it to every member, or only to some — for example red-light or new members.
- 03 Add-on Coming soon
Chapter announcements — standing content
Set up content such as training promotions once; it is attached to every monthly update automatically.
- 04 Add-on Coming soon
Event sign-up
A page and form for training, Power Day, Power Camp and other events: places, closing dates, member and visitor prices, and an attendee list to export.
Advice members can actually act on
When we rebuilt the reminders for one chapter, the hand-made spreadsheet had the scores right — but for most members, the "add this many for the next light" number was too low to reach it. Every target the system gives is checked against the tier it promises, and scores are checked against the chapter's existing sheet before the first send.
Member data stays with the chapter
Reports and scores are used only to produce the chapter's own updates. They are never published or shared with other chapters, and they are deleted on request.
How messages reach members
One-tap WhatsApp
Each message is pre-filled; the sender taps once per member. Free.
Personal link
Each member opens a private page with their score breakdown. The link can be posted to the chapter group. Free.
Automatic WhatsApp
Sent by the system through the official WhatsApp Business Platform. Optional: needs Meta's template approval, and each message is charged.
What it costs
- Core: monthly traffic-light update Per chapter. Set-up includes checking the scores against your chapter's current sheet.
- from HK$500 / month
- Add-ons: announcements, event sign-up Register interest and we will tell you first.
- Announced at launch
Indicative prices in HKD. Once the scope is agreed we quote one fixed price — and nothing is charged before you accept it. Regions running several chapters: ask about a combined price.
Common questions
- Do members need to install an app?
- No. Members receive a WhatsApp message or open a link in their phone's browser.
- Our chapter uses a different scoring table. Does that matter?
- No. The system is set up with your chapter's own scoring table, and the first month's scores are checked against your existing sheet.
- Can messages go out on WhatsApp automatically?
- Yes, as an option through the official WhatsApp Business Platform. It needs Meta to approve the message templates and is charged per message, so most chapters start with the free one-tap or link methods.
- How long before the first monthly update?
- Once we have the chapter's scoring table and recent PALMS reports, the first update can usually be ready within a week.
- Can a region use it for several chapters?
- Yes. Each chapter's data is kept separate, and pricing is based on the number of chapters.
