– Pre-Launch of Business Propel Professional –

As part of an emerging national partnership between IMC and the NSW Business Chamber, IMC Members and Guests are welcome to attend a Pre-Launch of 'Business Propel Professional', and explore business opportunities for eligible Consultants and Advisors.

'Business Propel Professional' is an extension to the Business Propel platform from the NSW Business Chamber that allows an organisation to build its own client engagement methodology across its people, systems and processes. This is done by adding a professional layer across the whole client and prospect portfolio. Subsequently data and actions can be shared from individual Business Propel accounts within an organisation's systems, and 'faciliated' by a suitability qualified and experienced Consultant/Advisor.

While the platform extension is in the final stages of development, IMC Members and Guests have a unique opportunity to participate in this Pre-Launch event.  Once finalised, 'Business Propel Professional' will be made available to eligible IMC Members.

Key elements of the platform:

1. Performance Reporting
   Sophisticated, customisable audit and dashboard tools to assess client performance.
2. Collaboration
   Real time engagement with clients to facilitate plans, actions and monitoring performance.
3. Reaching more clients
   Push notifications, publications and invitations to join Business Propel via your own hub.
4. Business Propel Partner Network
   Utilise the Business Propel partner community to expand your network with channel partners and other business experts.

The Business Propel Professional platform will facilitate the connection of aggregated client data with business intelligence tools.  This will provide an extraordinary level of power to gain insights across individual clients and the whole community, and to drive strategy.
