How to get the most out of the Network and what you should/shouldn't do!

Updated over a week ago

We want you to get the most out of the Matium Network so we have a few suggestions on what to do and a few ground rules we need to review...

Grow your Network


Initially, when you log in, you might think, "Nice, Billy Bob is on here!" and you'll add his company to your Network. That will be exciting, but then you might wonder, "Ok, who else should I add?"

Now would be the perfect time to learn how to filter on the Network.

Also, if you're in search of some recommended connections, we've got you covered. "Recommended Connections" are on the way, but in the meantime, feel free to use the chat box to communicate with our team, and we can assist you in identifying some connections that could benefit your business.

Lastly, you always have the option to invite your Network to Matium... actually, we would really appreciate it if you did. How can you do this? It's simple. Click below...

Follow the Rules

We made ground rules so we can all be on the same page, never have to talk about them again, and do great business together!

Rule #1 - BE OPEN.

You know when you go to a party and see that one person that you don't really want to see. That's always a tad stressful... you really hope they don't approach you, you really hope they don't harass or bother - oh crap they are walking over now!

Listen I get it, there are always going to be that person who rubbed us the wrong way at that party once or people that we just simply don't vibe with but we encourage you to give every one a chance on here. After all we are all hopefully here to achieve the same goals.

I've come to realize that sometimes when you give it a real go and are open with that person you thought you didn't like - they can sometimes become your best friend...

Rule #2 - DON'T BE A JERK.

If you have ever been to a Ravens game you've probably heard this screamed by all the fans prior to the game. Basically, don't spam people. Any contact information provided on Matium should be used solely for conducting businesses and should only be used by you/your company. Matium is invite only for a reason so if you feel someone you know should be connecting with another company on Matium, invite them on.

In the same breath - if you are communicating with another user just follow the Golden Rule. Treat each other how you want to be treated.

Be nice, be prompt, be helpful.

Rule #3 - TELL THE TRUTH.

This shouldn't be hard (but sometimes it is). Do what you say and say what you do. Simply put - if you can't do a service or work with a certain material, don't market that you can.

Saying you can do a service and then subbing it out is grounds for removal from Matium.

Rule #4 - DON'T DO ILLEGAL THINGS.

Self explanatory.

Matium reserves the right to suspend or remove anyone who does not follow these rules. If you observe anyone breaking these rules, please let us know at [email protected].
