Morning All,
I would agree, GEM is a recognised professional body and creating a different point of contact for finding consultants/freelancers would dilute our membership. I have had enquiries about potential work by people finding me through the listing. However, I am having to consider the £75 cost - I only did it last year as a discount was offered for early listing.
I think the bug-bear here is the level of cost, not the actual participation?
What is the £75 cost covering exactly? If it is the cost of someone's time uploading information is there another way - something similar (but less boring) than LinkedIn where we can update our info ourselves? And that sits within the GEM site?
Also quite depressed to hear views on levels of work nationally, am I working on my last tender, ever?
Best wishes,
Lindsey
