Prönö Sessions in a nutshell:

• Each Prönö Session is a 50-minute virtual 1-to-1 meeting with the advisor, coach or changemaker you have booked.
• It is a conversation between two people, not a presentation. 
• The customer sets the discussion topics beforehand (maximum 3 different questions/themes). 
• The advisor accepts the session if it is in the right scope, and the customer pays for the session in advance via Prönö. 
• Before the session, the advisor prepares for 5 minutes for the meeting. 
• After the session, the advisor sends meeting notes and the top three recommendations to the customer (5 minutes).

Changemakers need other changemakers to grow and become stronger. However, very few of us are surrounded by changemakers in our workplaces and lives, because changemakers are rare.

Prönö Sessions are a revolutionary approach to opening the door to minds and having discussions you might not even know about or have access to. Whether you are an entrepreneur eager to grow or an employee of an organization looking for new perspectives, Prönö is for you.

Why have we created smart categories?

We understand that finding the right advisors for your company might take a lot of time, and time is something you don’t have. You might not even know who you should be trying to reach out to. But you probably know what areas of expertise you need help with. That’s all you need to know when you are on Prönö, because our mission is to make the right advisors available for impact companies. Read more how Prönö can help impact companies.
 

How do you select your categories?

There are 7 different categories in which you can look for advisors, and you can select one or two – or all of them:

Leadership – to help you with your strategy and planning
Growth – for advisors in marketing, sales, communications
Product and development – for technical or product related advisors
People, culture & performance – for sustainability and taking your team to a new level
Creativity – to break you out of your patterns and make your brand shine
Operations – for specific operational excellence in areas like legal or finances
Industrial expertise – for helping experts from your own industry find you and connect with you

To make your selection, go to your company profile (or apply to create company profile here), make your selection with just a few clicks, and save. That’s it – you are already done.

Selecting the categories that reflect your current interests and needs opens the door for advisors to add themselves to your advisory pool. It also gives us the ability to promote your company to the advisors on our platform and beyond. The biggest advisory pools are already 100+ advisors strong, so the platform clearly works. You just have to make it work for you.

See how easily advisors can add themselves in your advisory pool – in less than 30 seconds!

Why should you set your target groups?

Free advice. All the advisors that add themselves to your pool are ready to give you one impact advisory hour for free. You decide if you want to use it or not.
Be found. There are already so many companies on Prönö that most advisors use filters when looking for their next potential company to advise. If you have not set your categories, you will simply not be found.
Grow faster without breaking things. Advisors exist so that you don’t make the same mistakes they have made. They can connect you to the right people, so that you can focus on your goals.

If you DON’T want to get free advice from mission-driven advisors, you DO NOT have to set your categories. But for some, finding advisors through Prönö has been a game-changing move. Spend a few minutes on it and those just might be the best few minutes you will ever spend professionally.

What does it cost and what’s the catch?

This is all free, but we haven’t found the catch. Let us know if you do. Our mission is to help impact companies grow faster with mission-driven advisors, and the best way to do that is to connect the needs to the right expertise – and make it as easy as humanly possible. The more companies we get on our platform, the more advisors we can get to pay a small monthly fee. And the more top-level advisors we can get to advise companies that are working for a more sustainable future, the closer we are to not messing up our planet.

Are you ready to help
the right advisors find your company?

What type of advisors are companies looking for?

Companies on Prönö are working to create a more sustainable future. They are at different stages of their journeys and from different industries, but they all have some common areas of business where they are actively looking for advice. 

Nowadays companies might have trouble identifying what is exactly their need. That is, after all, the exact reason why they are looking for advisors!

To help identify and understand where the pain is and who most likely can help, we have created seven different categories in which we can show you the companies looking for your advice. 

Leadership – advisors to help you with strategy and planning
Growth – advisors in marketing, sales, communications
Product and development – for technical or product related advisors
People, culture & performance – for sustainability, diversity and other team-performance needs
Creativity – for outside-of-the box thinkers and creators
Operations – for specific operational excellence in areas like legal or finance
Industrial expertise – for finding industry experts (like you)

As an advisor, you do not need to select your category, as the professions you select for your profile will automatically make you available for these categories.

And you are free to add yourself to any company pool, regardless of whether they are looking for your expertise or not. They might not be looking for you today, but tomorrow could be a different story. Adding yourself to an advisory pool is free and only takes one click. 

See how easily you can yourself in companies’ pool – in less than 30 seconds!

What happens when I add myself to a company’s advisory pool?

After adding yourself to a company pool (with just one click), the company will find you in their pool on the platform and can request your advice or buy your services (also with one click). So, instead of having to try and find the right contact person, connect via LinkedIn, send out emails and call to follow up, all with no guarantee of success, you already know which companies are interested and you can just… click, of course.

When a company finds you, it’s time for your impact advisory hour. An impact hour is a 60-minute online session for you to talk about how you could work together and scale your impact together. It doesn’t require more than a “normal” level of preparation – scanning the profiles and websites of the company – and possibly reviewing a few key objectives of the meeting and the possible follow-up sessions.

Impact hours are a tool to show companies that you want to work with them. We are trying to minimize the time people spend chasing each other and trying to find each other – and maximize the time people are interacting and co-creating. So, instead of spending an hour sending emails and making unanswered calls, it might make sense to spend that hour solving problems and forming lasting relationships.

Summary

See who is looking for you. With our smart categories you can always see which companies are looking for your type of expertise and make yourself available.
Be found. With over 3000+ advisors already on our platform, you will multiply your chances of being found by adding yourself to company advisory pools.
Impact hour. Adding yourself to the advisory pool of any company on our platform means that you are ready to spend a free impact hour solving their problems.

However, if you DON’T want to give free advice to any companies working for a more sustainable future, you don’t have to. The Internet is full of advisory platforms where you can promote your services, so you might want to stay on LinkedIn. And you also DO NOT have to set your categories. But for some, finding advising opportunities through Prönö has been a game-changing move. Spend a few minutes on Prönö, and those just might be the best few minutes you will ever spend professionally.

What does it cost?

You can create your advisor profile for only 99€ for 3 months or for as low as 19,90€/ month with a 12-month subscription. See pricing here. Select your session price level and start selling your advisory services through our platform with a 20% service fee.

Our mission is to help impact companies grow faster with mission-driven advisors. Be part of the change, and make your impact. 

Your profession is the key factor

You will be found based on the professions and expertise areas you have added to your profile on the platform. Your profession determines the opportunities you can find. To be even more specific share under each profession how you can help.

With your Prönö profile, you will also be able to make yourself available to hundreds of companies on our platform and be found directly in their advisory pools. 

You can also be recommended by anyone on the platform, and that most definitely will boost your chances of being found. 

Sell your sessions

To sell your sessions you need to set up your price stage. You can select your hourly price starting from pro bono to 300 euros.

Remember to share languages you are able to sell your sessions. This makes it easier to see immediately your language skills when someone is interested in booking a session with you.

Impress with your bio

You should always strive to make a good first impression! Your bio is the first thing visitors see when viewing your profile. You have 500 characters to share who you are, what you do, and what value you bring to the table. This is the place to reveal your personality and highlight what’s most important to you. 

What are your goals?

We will be using UN Sustainable Development Goals to connect you to like-minded companies. Setting up those SDGs will most help you in being found when impact companies are looking for your expertise. 

​​Choosing your SDGs is something you probably have already done in onboarding, but in case you have not, please add to your profile the goals you most want to work towards. 

If you have not heard about SDGs yet, we recommend reading more from the dedicated UN website.

Share your dreams & values

We help companies find the best talents available to build a more sustainable future with. 

When looking for meaningful work, your dreams & values matter most. Your values tell who you are, your dreams show what you want to achieve, and your inspiration gives more insight about you. Add these to your profile in your settings

Share your background to show your past.

Share your background to show your past

We focus on the future. But your past is part of you and why you are wherever you are. To save yourself some time, you can transfer your experience from LinkedIn with just a few clicks. Go to your settings or first read how to do it here: 

Links provide you the opportunity to let others “learn more” about what you are working on. You can add any links you want, but we have pre-selected some of the most common ones, like links to your website or social media accounts. One useful tip is also to add your portfolio or blog. Read more here.


Our goal is to make you look as good as possible and be found by as many companies as possible. If you have any questions, or you need help with anything, just let us know. 

Traditionally making yourself available for potential brands has required sales calls, emails, and probably some follow-ups just to get noticed and tell about what you would like to help them with. Even if you were able to do that, the chances are that the services you are providing were not relevant right at this moment. That means you will have to follow up to make sure you are in the top of mind when your customers do have the need for your services. 

All that takes time and money. And I bet that is not what your people want to be doing. 

That is why we built Prönö. So you can focus on what you do best, and we can help you be found when you are needed.

How to reach 200 customers in less than one hour?

In Prönö all your professionals, not only the leadership or account managers, can offer their expertise to any company on our platform. With the free profile, you can select five companies you desire the most, but with PRO the number is 10X.

So let’s do the math on the number of your future customers you can reach in Prönö: 

# of your professionals X 50 = Your Potential Reach.

Now, let’s think about this for a moment. Each of your professionals has a unique skill set, but you are working towards a common goal – growing by offering your unique expertises to those who most likely need it.

My bet is that the fastest (and btw. the cheapest) way to reach those customers is Prönö. In under one hour, your team of 4 can offer their expertise to over 200 companies on our platform. And if you have more people on your team – that means you can reach even more potential customers. But that’s not all.

How to reach over 1000 decision-makers in less than 1 hour?

The unique part of Prönö is that when you want to offer your services, you no longer have to first find out who is the right person to contact, what is the channel they want to be contacted (if they want to be contacted) and when you should follow up.

Now you can simply make that one click “Join advisory pool” and you will be added to the advisory pool that all relevant decision-makers in that company have access to. 

Let’s do the math again: Your team of 6 people can reach 50 companies each and potentially reach 4 key decision-makers in each company.

In total, you can reach 6 X 50 X 4 = 1200 decision-makers in less than one hour. Quite impressive, right? 

Too good to be true?

Of course, it is! As we have just started and have some 100 companies on the platform, we do not have enough of them to make that math correct. Yet.

But here is your truly unique opportunity. The sooner you add your team into those advisory pools already on our platform, the better your chances of being noticed. Advisory pools are growing fast, so it’s all up to you if you want to be included there or not. If you took a look at your company’s advisory pool today and saw four different people from the same service provider, who all look like really talented professionals – would you be interested in working with them in the future or at least take a deeper look? Maybe or maybe not, but the answer is the same as in any other sales channel you are using today. In Prönö it simply takes less time and money to do it.

And after all – how many new customers do you need to grow? Focus your efforts where you feel your expertise can serve the best.

What to do next?

Our mission in Prönö is to make all the talent in the world available for companies that are working for a more sustainable future. It’s up to you if your people are in those advisory pools. Our job is simply to help you make the most of it when you decide to do that.

That is why we offer you a FREE team onboarding to help you get started and we can work together with you to start offering your services for a more sustainable future.

Traditionally, finding the right advisor has been a time-consuming challenge for companies. But even modern solutions that streamline parts of this process can waste your time. For example, you are probably fed up with filling in your company details all over again whenever you join a new platform. And that is exactly why we will fill out some of these details on your website when you want your company to Prönö. (You are welcome!)

To get the most out of Prönö, you can add some more information, but there’s also no need for you to fill in all the remaining details at once. But the more you fill in, the easier it is for us to promote your company to the right people. So let’s take a look at where to start. 

Your mission sparks initial interest

Your mission is the most important piece of information on our platform. When browsing through the company search, our community sees visions of companies instead of the traditional summaries or meta text. We most often use your vision in the emails we send to our community as well. Think of your vision as the billboard outside of your cafe or the journey you want to invite others to join. Is your vision inspiring enough?

Your description tells others WHAT you do

Your description is the first thing users see when they open your profile on the platform. You have 500 characters to tell who you are, what you do and what you are looking for specifically. This is the place to state your call to action for those who are looking for new advisory opportunities.

Here is one short and simple format for stating what you do: We are (your product or service name) and we help (your specific target group) by (doing what you do) so that they (get the specific benefits of your product or service).

And here is how Prönö would use this format: Prönö is a future business platform, and we help companies who are working for a more sustainable future by building them advisory pools of business professionals so they can both grow and work on something meaningful. (261 characters)

This framework should leave you with at least 200 more characters to work with, so it’s time to articulate what you are looking for. Remember that your target groups are right below your introduction text, so there’s no need to add that information here. Instead, you might want to tell them about what you are doing, your general goals in the next 12 months and most importantly, why they should join your pool.

Example: We are growing fast and, after our next funding round, will be looking for team members in many different areas. So if you can help us raise capital or want to join our team or partner up with us, add yourself to our advisory pool! (229 letters)

Your target groups will help you grow

Your target groups, the expertise areas you are most likely to need help with, will be shown to our PRO users. By expressing your needs, you will be able to attract the right kind of advisor to your pool. We are happy to help you with setting up your target groups and help you find the right advisors that way.

What are your goals?

Choosing your Sustainable development goals is something you probably have already done, but in case you have not, please read more about SDGs directly from the dedicated UN website.

We will be using SDGs to connect you to like-minded professionals. Setting up those goals will most help you in a) finding the people you need and b) boosting your brand. However, if you are not doing anything to work towards the goals you select, you can find a number of sustainability experts from our platform to help you understand how these goals can be achieved in your situation.

We would also be happy to help you determine your SDGs and communicate your goals in your vision and mission statements. 

Vision, purpose and values

The best professionals are increasingly interested in understanding WHY they should advice you. What is the purpose or vision of your company? And what are the values you follow as an employer and a brand working with your customer?

We want to help you highlight the answers to these questions in your profile. If you have not yet set your values or are having trouble communicating your purpose, we would be happy to help you out. 

Links provide you the opportunity to let others “learn more” about what you are working on. You can add any links you want, but we have pre-selected some of the most common ones, like links to LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram profiles. One useful tip is also to add a link to your job posts here if you are using some other platform to communicate about openings.

Other details, like your stage, company size and location, will help us target your campaigns a bit more precisely in the future, but when you have all the information mentioned in this article set up, we are good to go.

If you want us to fill in the rest of your profile with us, we would be more than happy to do that. Just schedule a meeting with us whenever is best for you. 

If you don’t have a company profile on Prönö yet, read more here and apply!

Adding yourself to a company’s advisory pool means that you would like to become their advisor, service provider or investor, depending on what you are offering to our community.

So, instead of you having to look for contact details, send out emails or make phone calls, you will already be there when they need you. 

Companies are using Prönö as their talent and advisory management system. It is the place where they can find help or advice more easily and quickly than anywhere else. Having all the best professionals who want to work with your company automatically categorized based on their professions and values sounds pretty cool, doesn’t it? But it’s not cool if you are not on the list. 

We want to give all professionals an equal opportunity to help companies build a more sustainable future. Search for the companies that you feel are most interesting and that you would like to help succeed. As a PRO-member you can use advanced filters to see which companies are looking for your expertise right now. 

So, all it takes from you is just one-click – “Join advisory pool” – if you want to…

• Be available and be found by that company 
• Hear about opportunities opening up in that company  
• Ultimately get to work with (or for) that company
  

In short, Advisory Pools are the easiest way to get to work on something more meaningful and use your expertise to create a more sustainable future.

What’s the next step? Sign into Prönö (or create your business profile), search for all those organizations with the same goals as you and join their advisory pools.
